Question from BPSC PT 71, 2025
Correct Answer: c)
Explanation:
– The 2024 UN climate conference (COP29) in Baku focused on a new climate finance goal. It concluded with an agreement that calls on developed countries to provide at least $300 billion annually to developing nations by 2035. This is part of the New Collective Quantified Goal (NCQG) to support mitigation, adaptation, and addressing loss and damage.
– Option (a) is incorrect: there was no agreement to ban fossil fuels globally by 2030.
– Option (b) is incorrect: the agreed figure was not $500 billion by 2030.
– Therefore, only option (c) matches the outcome, making option (d) incorrect.
