Identify the correctly matched pair -
A
Kyoto protocol - Climatic change
B
Montreal Protocol - Global warming
C
Basel Convention - Biodiversity Conservation
D
Ramsar Convention - Ground water pollution
Detailed Solution
The Kyoto Protocol (1997) is an international agreement under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change; it commits industrialised countries to reduce their emissions of greenhouse gases. So Kyoto Protocol - climatic change is correct.
The Montreal Protocol (1987) deals with the protection of the ozone layer by controlling ozone depleting substances, not with global warming.
The Basel Convention (1989) deals with the control of the movement and disposal of hazardous wastes across borders, not with biodiversity conservation.
The Ramsar Convention (1971) deals with the conservation of wetlands, not with ground water pollution.
So the correctly matched pair is Kyoto protocol - climatic change.
