A risk consultant begins an engagement for a development agency. The engagement focuses on identifying policies that address climate change impacts. The consultant drafts an action plan that incorporates a roadmap of effective climate policies to present to senior directors at a strategic meeting. The plan includes an introductory summary of the backdrop and effectiveness of historical and current climate policies.
How should the consultant describe the context of climate policy evolution?

  • A. As global mean annual temperatures rose significantly in the 1980s, scientific consensus around human influence on climate solidified, leading to the formation of the IPCC.
  • B. After the World Climate Summit, global climate policy legally required countries responsible for the greatest share of cumulative emissions to cut back emissions the most.
  • C. Evidence from the past two decades has accumulated that warming levels will lead to tipping points, supporting an international consensus and policies around a goal of limiting warming to 2.5°C.
  • D. The first attempts to create international climate policies and accords focused on emissions reductions occurred in the 1970s, as anthropogenic GHG emissions were globally recognized as fact by scientists.
