Question:

In which year India joined 160 countries that have signed and ratified Kyoto Protocol?

Options:

2001

2002

2005

2006

Correct Answer:

2002

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 2 - 2002

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.
