Question 10 • SC332 Environmental Science B

What is the main goal of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change?

Answer
A
to impose carbon emission limits on all countries
B
to encourage the sustainable use of tropical rainforests
C
to prevent the continued rise of greenhouse gas concentrations
D
to end the production of greenhouse gases

Explanation

The UNFCCC’s main goal is to stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that prevents dangerous human interference with the climate system. This makes choice C, “to prevent the continued rise of greenhouse gas concentrations,” the best answer; the convention does not require every country to meet identical emission limits or end greenhouse gas production entirely.
