The Kyoto Protocol differs from the Paris Agreement chiefly in that the Kyoto Protocol:
The Kyoto Protocol set binding emission reduction targets only for developed countries listed in Annex I, reflecting common but differentiated responsibilities. In contrast, the Paris Agreement has all countries submit their own nationally determined contributions rather than imposed binding quotas.
- Aset binding emission reduction targets only for developed (Annex I) countriesCorrect
- Brequired every country to adopt identical emission targets
- Cwas concerned only with protecting the ozone layer
- Drelied solely on nationally determined contributions from all parties
Explanation
Kyoto (1997) imposed legally binding emission reduction targets on developed countries listed in Annex I, based on common but differentiated responsibilities. Paris instead relies on nationally determined contributions from all parties, which is why the last option describes Paris, not Kyoto. Ozone protection is the Montreal Protocol.
