[All SCR Questions]

A technology company expands its sustainable offerings and develops a flight booking application that allows customers to offset a flight’s carbon emissions. An analyst at the company researches climate agreements to inform the structure of the offsetting program.
How does the analyst describe the achievements and shortcomings of the agreements?

  • A. A shortcoming of COP21 (Paris) is that countries are legally obligated to annually submit nationally determined contributions (NDCs), and most have kept NDCs at unchanged levels.
  • B. COP3 (Kyoto) resulted in differentiated national responsibilities wherein developing countries were not subject to emissions reduction obligations, which disincentivized Annex 1 countries to take action.
  • C. The main achievement of COP15 (Copenhagen) was the creation of the IPCC, an influential scientific body that became the leading body in guiding subsequent climate agreements.
  • D. Although COP1 (Berlin) ended with no binding treaty, it was the first COP to establish a goal that global warming remains below 2°C.

Selected Answer: B
A: the Paris Agreement makes use of the powerful tools of inclusion and peer pres-sure. Everyone must submit an NDC, and countries ramp up ambitions when others do. B: The fact that, in light of the notion of “common but dif-ferentiated responsibilities,” developing countries were not subject to any kind of emissions reduction obligations (and indeed many had skyrocketing rates of emissions growth during this time) made even Annex 1 countries less com-mitted.
