UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A and C are correct: CBDR-RC explicitly acknowledges historical responsibility and differing capabilities, and climate finance is designed to assist developing countries with mitigation and adaptation. Statements B and D are incorrect because obligations are differentiated under the UNFCCC and equity concerns are central in negotiations. Thus, the combination that includes A and C only is correct.

Option A:
Option A is correct as it selects the two statements reflecting the core equity principles and mechanisms of the climate regime while excluding those that deny differentiation and equity. It aligns with the conceptual treatment of climate justice in the unit.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it adds B, which falsely asserts identical mitigation responsibilities for all countries, ignoring differentiation between developed and developing parties.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect since it includes D, which wrongly claims equity is irrelevant in climate talks, contrary to actual negotiation dynamics.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect as it groups only incorrect statements B and D with one correct statement C, resulting in a mixed and unacceptable combination.
