UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements B and E are wrong, whereas A, C, D and F are correct. The Convention on Biological Diversity has a broad focus on biodiversity conservation, sustainable use and benefit-sharing, not just marine pollution. International treaties generally require national legislation and implementation; treaties alone cannot solve problems without domestic action. The other statements accurately describe the UNFCCC, UNCCD, financial and technical support, and the need for international cooperation.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because it lists only B as wrong and ignores E, which also misrepresents how global problems are addressed. By failing to include E, it does not capture the full set of incorrect statements.

Option B:
Option B is correct as it identifies exactly B and E as false and leaves the remaining statements recognised as true. It reflects a correct understanding that biodiversity treaties are broader and that treaties require follow-up at national levels.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect since it treats A as wrong along with B and E, even though A correctly states the objective of the UNFCCC. Including A among wrong statements contradicts official convention texts.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it adds F into the list of wrong statements. F correctly notes that transboundary problems require multi-country cooperation, so grouping it with B and E makes this option conceptually flawed.
