UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Agenda 21 is a comprehensive programme of action covering social,economic and environmental dimensions of sustainable development. It was agreed by governments at the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in Rio. The stem mentions a global plan into the twenty first century adopted at the Earth Summit,which clearly identifies Agenda 21. Thus Option D is correct.

Option A:
“Agenda 10” is not a recognised UN global plan adopted at the 1992 Rio Earth Summit,so it does not fit the stem.

Option B:
“Agenda 15” is not the title of the Rio 1992 sustainable development plan of action,so it is incorrect here.

Option C:
“Agenda 17” is not the Rio 1992 plan of action; it does not match the historical document referred to in the question.

Option D:
Agenda 21 is explicitly named for the 21st century and was adopted at the 1992 Earth Summit as a global sustainable development action plan,matching the stem.
