UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, B and D are correct because climate agreements address mitigation and adaptation, most treaties require reporting and review and domestic measures are needed to give effect to international commitments. Statement C is incorrect since non-state actors such as NGOs, businesses and local bodies play important roles in implementation, monitoring and advocacy. Global environmental governance is multi-actor and multi-level. Hence, the combination A, B and D only is correct.

Option A:
Option A is incomplete as it lists only A and B and omits D. Without acknowledging the need for national laws and institutions, it does not fully explain how agreements are implemented domestically.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it includes only B and D and leaves out A, which is a central statement about the objectives of climate agreements. Ignoring A makes the description of agreements less comprehensive.

Option C:
Option C is correct since it includes all three true statements and excludes C, which wrongly denies any role for non-state actors. It reflects the complex nature of contemporary environmental governance.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it accepts C along with A and D. Although A and D are true, endorsing C would ignore the important contributions of civil society and other actors to treaty implementation.

Statements A, B, C and E are correct on treaty mandates, principles and non-state actor roles. Statement D is false because reporting is often required. Statement F is false because enforcement relies on reporting/review/finance/diplomacy, not military sanctions. Thus A, B, C and E only is correct.

Option A:
Option A is incomplete because it omits E.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it includes F (false) and omits A.

Option C:
Option C is correct because it includes A, B, C and E and excludes D and F.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it includes F (false) and omits B.
