Explanation:

The 1987 Brundtland Report, Our Common Future, warned that traditional patterns of economic growth were not sustainable in the long term, especially in view of the demands of the South for further industrial development.

The International (Intergovernmental) Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is basically the United Nations' scientific body for climate change. It is an intergovernmental body of the United Nations established in 1988. It was created to provide the world with a clear scientific view on the current state of knowledge about climate change and its environmental and socio-economic impacts.
The IPCC's work is a crucial foundation for international agreements like the Paris Agreement, which aims to limit global warming.

Kyoto Protocol was an international treaty that extended the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change that commits state parties to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.The Kyoto Protocol was adopted in 1997, and it entered into force on February 16, 2005. The Kyoto Protocol is an international agreement setting targets for industrialized countries to cut their greenhouse gas emissions. India signed and ratified the 1997 Kyoto Protocol in August 2002. India, China and other developing countries were exempt from the requirements of the Kyoto Protocol because their contribution to the emission of greenhouse gases during the industrialisation period (that is believed to be causing today’s global warming and climate change) was not significant.

The UN climate change conference in 2009, known as COP15, was a pivotal event in the global efforts to address climate change. It took place in Copenhagen, Denmark, from December 7 to December 18, 2009. COP15 was significant because it aimed to produce a successor to the Kyoto Protocol, which was set to expire in 2012. Following COP15, subsequent UN climate change conferences continued the negotiations, eventually leading to the adoption of the Paris Agreement in 2015, which aimed to strengthen global efforts to combat climate change and set the world on a path towards a sustainable, low-carbon future.
