Which one of the following is wrong?

• A. Ramsar convention- Wetland conservation
• B. Rio convention - air pollution
• C. Kyoto protocol- climate change
• D. Montreal protocol- ozone depletion

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

The Earth Summit of Rio de Janeiro, also known as the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED), was held in Rio de Janeiro from 3 to 14 June 1992. It resulted in the convention on biodiversity, a multilateral treaty. Three major goals were addressed in this convention which included: conservation of biodiversity; sustainable use of its components; and the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the genetic resources. It was not related to air pollution.

So, the correct answer is 'Rio convention - air pollution'.
