Question
Identify the false statement with regard to Kyoto Protocola.Greenhouse gas levels were set to match the year 1990b.Russia was placed Annex IIc.India and China were not includedd.Annex I countries were legally bound to lower greenhouse gas emissions
Solution
The false statement with regard to Kyoto Protocol is "Russia was placed in Annex II". In the Kyoto Protocol, Russia is listed under Annex I which includes industrialized countries that were members of the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) in 1992, plus countries with economies in transition (the EIT Parties), including the Russian Federation. Annex II parties are required to provide financial resources to enable developing countries to undertake emissions reduction activities under the Convention and to help them adapt to adverse effects of climate change, but Russia is not part of this group.
