Question 1 of 5
1. Question
Which of the following gases is/are considered greenhouse gases under the Kyoto Protocol?
1.Carbon dioxide
2.Methane
3.Nitrous oxide
4.Ozone
Select the correct answer using the code below:
Correct
Answer: B) 1, 2 and 3 only
Explanation:
The Kyoto Protocol recognizes six greenhouse gases: Carbon dioxide (CO₂), Methane (CH₄), Nitrous oxide (N₂O), Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), Perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and Sulphur hexafluoride (SF₆). Ozone is not listed as a greenhouse gas under Kyoto, although it is a pollutant and contributes to warming.

Correct
Answer: C) Climate Change Assessment Reports
Explanation:
The IPCC releases Assessment Reports (ARs), which are comprehensive studies on climate change science. The 6th Assessment Report (AR6) was released between 2021 and 2023.

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
Consider the following statements regarding global warming potential (GWP):
It measures how much heat a greenhouse gas traps in the atmosphere relative to carbon dioxide.
1. Methane has a higher GWP than carbon dioxide over a 100-year period.
2. Nitrous oxide has a lower GWP than methane.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: A) 1 and 2 only
Explanation:
Statement 1 is correct. GWP compares the warming impact of a gas relative to CO₂.
Statement 2 is correct. Over 100 years, methane’s GWP is around 28–36 times that of CO₂.
Statement 3 is incorrect. Nitrous oxide has a higher GWP than methane — about 265–298 times that of CO₂ over 100 years.
Incorrect
Answer: A) 1 and 2 only
Explanation:
Statement 1 is correct. GWP compares the warming impact of a gas relative to CO₂.
Statement 2 is correct. Over 100 years, methane’s GWP is around 28–36 times that of CO₂.
Statement 3 is incorrect. Nitrous oxide has a higher GWP than methane — about 265–298 times that of CO₂ over 100 years.
Question 4 of 5
4. Question
Which of the following are adaptation strategies to combat climate change?
1.Developing drought-resistant crop varieties
2. Building sea walls to prevent coastal flooding
3. Switching to renewable energy sources
4. Improving irrigation efficiency
Select the correct answer using the code below:
Correct
Answer: A) 1, 2 and 4 only
Explanation:
Adaptation strategies reduce the negative effects of climate change (e.g., drought resistance, sea walls, irrigation).
Switching to renewable energy is a mitigation strategy as it reduces future emissions.
Thus, 1, 2, and 4 are correct adaptation strategies.
Incorrect
Answer: A) 1, 2 and 4 only
Explanation:
Adaptation strategies reduce the negative effects of climate change (e.g., drought resistance, sea walls, irrigation).
Switching to renewable energy is a mitigation strategy as it reduces future emissions.
Thus, 1, 2, and 4 are correct adaptation strategies.
Question 5 of 5
5. Question
With reference to the Paris Agreement, consider the following statements:
1. It aims to limit global temperature rise this century to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels.
2. It is legally binding on countries to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.
3. Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) are central to achieving its goals.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: A) 1 and 3 only
Explanation:
Statement 1 is correct: The Paris Agreement sets a goal of limiting warming to well below 2°C, with efforts to keep it to 1.5°C.
Statement 2 is incorrect: Net-zero by 2050 is an aspirational goal, not a legal obligation.
Statement 3 is correct: NDCs are voluntary pledges made by countries to cut emissions.
Incorrect
Answer: A) 1 and 3 only
