UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, B, D and E are correct as they reflect key equity principles, attention to historical responsibility, debates on loss and damage, and links between climate action and labour rights. Statement C is false because climate justice explicitly highlights inequalities within countries, including impacts on poor and marginalised communities. Statement F is also false since justice concerns extend to adaptation, resilience and recovery from climate impacts. Hence, the combination that includes A, B, D and E and excludes C and F is correct.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect as it omits E, thereby ignoring the just transition agenda, which is an important part of contemporary climate justice discussions about workers and livelihoods.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it includes F, which wrongly narrows climate justice to mitigation only, and it still excludes E. Including F mixes a false statement with true ones.

Option C:
Option C is correct since it captures principles, debates and emerging concepts like loss and damage and just transition, while rejecting statements that minimise intra-country inequalities or adaptation concerns.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it leaves out A, so it fails to mention the core principle of common but differentiated responsibilities and capabilities, which is fundamental for understanding equity in climate regimes.
