Directions (24-30) Read the following passage and answer the given questions.
The passage given below is followed by a set of questions. Choose the best answer to each question
The two-week long climate conference in Egypt has drawn to a close with a symbolic victory in the form of a fund
that will compensate some of the countries bearing the brunt of climate change-linked natural disasters. However,
progress on action to keep temperatures from rising beyond {1.5}^\circC of preindustrial levels was limited. The
27 th edition of the United Nations Conference of the Parties was projected to be an 'implementation' COP that
would have decisively resolved questions on how developed countries, responsible for the bulk of historical
emissions, would make good on an old promise to provide developing countries $100 billion annually by 2020 .
And whether the world would commit to end all categories of fossil fuel, and not just coal. Despite hours of
negotiations, these deadlocks remain. COP27 will certainly be remembered as the COP of Loss and Damages
(L&D). A nearly three-decade old movement, first initiated by the island nation of Vanuatu and the Alliance of
Small Island States, has come to partial fruition. There will now be a dedicated fund to compensate the most
vulnerable developing countries that are already bearing the brunt of climate change-linked natural disasters. L&D
refers to impacts of climate change that cannot be avoided either by mitigation (cutting greenhouse gas emissions)
or adaptation (modifying practices to buffer against climate change impacts). They also include not only economic
damage to property but also loss of livelihoods, and the destruction of biodiversity and sites that have cultural
importance. This broadens the scope for affected nations to claim compensation.
The text at Sharm el-Sheikh only commits to a fund being created and leaves discussions for how it is to be set up
and, most importantly, who will pay how much to it, for future COP negotiations. While there have been nominal
commitments by Scotland and Wallonia (Belgium) to donate to such a fund, the estimated L&D is already over
$500 billion. During negotiations this year, the European Union pressed hard for China, the Arab states and "large,
developing countries" and this could include India to contribute on the grounds that they were large emitters. This
already opens up fresh occasion for acrimony in future COPs and given that barely a third of committed climate
finance has made its way to developing countries, the L&D fund too might take years before it can meaningfully
operate. While the gain is incremental, countries ought not to lose momentum and must work harder to ensure that
COPs remain credible catalysts and are not occasions for pyrrhic victories.

Q24. The 27th Conference of the Parties of the United Nations was expected to be an "implementation" COP, which
would have definitively answered questions about how developed countries would fulfil a previous commitment to
finance developing nations. Which of the following is/are the correct statements that underscores the
implementations and commitments made in COP-27?
(A) A COP that would have conclusively answered the question of how wealthy nations, who have contributed the
majority of historical emissions, would not fulfil a prior commitment to provide developing countries with $100
billion a year by 2020
(B) Aside from that, everyone could not concur to quit using all fossil fuels not just coal to do so. Despite lengthy
discussions, these deadlocks still remain.
(C) The most vulnerable poor nations, who are currently suffering the most from natural disasters linked to climate
change, will now have a separate fund set aside for compensation.
(D) All of these
(E) None of these

Q25. What were the negotiations and the conclusions provided to make the credibility of COP?
(A) In addition to financial loss to property, they also involve loss of livelihoods, the eradication of biodiversity,
and the demolition of culturally significant locations. This increases the potential for impacted countries to seek
compensation.
(B) This creates a new opportunity for conflict at COPs in the future, and the L&D fund may take years to start
making a real difference because only a third of committed climate finance has reached developing nations.
(C) Even while the progress is gradual, nations must maintain their momentum and put up more effort to make sure
that COPs continue to serve as credible catalysts rather than being occasions for pyrrhic victories.
(D) Both 1 and 2
(E) Both 2 and 3

Q26. Which of the following is/are FALSE according to the passage?

(A) The text approved at Sharm el-Sheikh only commits to a fund being created and leaves discussions for how it
is to be set up and, most importantly, who will pay how much to it, for future COP negotiations.
(B) Even though Wallonia (Belgium) and Scotland have only made token donations to such a fund, it is believed
that L&D is already worth more than $800 billion.
(C) The European Union pushed hard during negotiations this year to include China, the Arab states, and "big,
emerging countries" (which may include India) because they were major emitters.
(D) Both a and b
(E) All of these

Q27. The COP 27 will be known as the COP of Loss and Damages (L&D). What does L&D refers to and what were the
commitments for L&D in COP 27 two-week long climate conference in Egypt?
(A) Impacts of climate change known as L&D are those that cannot be mitigated (by reducing greenhouse gas
emissions) or adapted to (modifying practises to buffer against climate change impacts).
(B) In addition to financial loss to property, they also involve loss of livelihoods, the eradication of biodiversity,
and the destruction of culturally significant sites
