Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (c) 3 only
‘Annex-I countries’ and ‘Certified Emission Reductions (CERs)’ are both terms created under the UNFCCC/Kyoto Protocol, not under the Cartagena or Nagoya Protocols. CERs are the units issued for projects registered under the Clean Development Mechanism, and the CDM itself is one of the three market mechanisms established by the Kyoto Protocol. Therefore only Pair 3 (Clean Development Mechanism : Kyoto Protocol) is correctly matched; Pairs 1 and 2 are incorrect.
