Under Joint Implementation, countries with commitments are eligible to transfer and/or acquire emission reduction units (ERUs) and use them to meet part of their emission reduction target. This has been provided for under the
CorrectCorrect Answer: C
Answer Justification :
Learning: The mechanism known as “joint implementation,” defined in Article 6 of the Kyoto Protocol, allows a country with an emission reduction or limitation commitment under the Kyoto Protocol (Annex B Party) to earn emission reduction units (ERUs) from an emissionreduction or emission removal project in another Annex B Party, each equivalent to one tonne of CO2, which can be counted towards meeting its Kyoto target. Joint implementation offers Parties a flexible and cost-efficient means of fulfilling a part of their Kyoto commitments, while the host Party benefits from foreign investment and technology transfer. A JI project must provide a reduction in emissions by sources, or an enhancement of removals by sinks, that is additional to what would otherwise have occurred. Projects must have approval of the host Party and participants have to be authorized to participate by a Party involved in the project.IncorrectCorrect Answer: C

5. Question
Consider the following statements.
Assertion (A): There is a time difference of nearly two hours between the easternmost and the westernmost parts of our country.
Reason (R): There is a longitudinal variation of nearly 30 degrees, between the easternmost and westernmost parts of the country.
In the context of the above, which of these is correct?CorrectSolution: a)
Justification: There is a difference of nearly 1 hour with a 15 degrees shift in longitude. If a nation has larger longitudinal spread, it is more likely to have greater difference in time. So, the sun sets very early and rises very early in Arunachal Pradesh as compared to say Gujarat, which has led to demands for revision in the national time to save daylight hours in the NE.
