UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, B and C are correct and reflect the core ideas of climate justice and equity in global negotiations. A notes differentiated responsibility, B points to the historical role of developed countries and C refers to the principle embodying equity concerns. Statement D is incorrect because climate justice highlights that vulnerable communities and poorer countries often bear disproportionate impacts. Therefore, the combination with A, B and C only is the correct answer.

Option A:
Option A is incomplete because it includes only A and B and leaves out C. While A and B are true, C is also correct and central to the equity principle in climate agreements. By omitting C, the option fails to capture the full conceptual picture.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect as it selects A, B and D and erroneously accepts D as correct. D contradicts the basic claim of climate justice that vulnerability and inequality shape climate impacts, so including it invalidates the combination.

Option C:
Option C is correct since it combines all the true statements and excludes the false one. It accurately captures responsibility, historical emissions and the normative principle used in agreements. As such, it fully matches the unit’s emphasis on climate justice.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it brings together B, C and D and leaves out A. Besides omitting A, which is correct, it accepts D, which denies the link between socio-economic vulnerability and climate impacts. This makes the combination inconsistent with climate justice discourse.
