The correct answer is Option 4: The assertion is correct but the reason is incorrect The principle of "common but differentiated responsibilities" (CBDR) is a foundational concept in international environmental law and policy. It acknowledges that while all countries share a common responsibility to address global environmental challenges, they should do so in a manner that recognizes and accommodates their differing capacities, historical contributions to environmental degradation, and levels of development. This principle acknowledges that developed countries have a greater historical responsibility for greenhouse gas emissions and should bear a larger burden in addressing climate change. Assertion: India follows the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities on environmental issues. This is correct. Following the principle of common but differentiated responsibility, India is of the view that the major responsibility of curbing emission rests with the developed countries, which have accumulated emissions over a long period of time.
