Consider the following statements:

1.The area that matches most between the SDGs and MDGs is the environment

2.The agenda for sustainable development was settled in 2012 at the UN Conference through 'The Future We Want'

AStatements 1 and 2 are true ✓ Correct

BOnly statement 1 is true

COnly statement 2 is true

DBoth statements are false

Correct answer: (A) Statements 1 and 2 are true

Explanation

Both statements are true, so the environment overlap and the 2012 origin hold together.

Statement 1 is right, as the environment is the theme where the Sustainable and Millennium goals overlap most.

Statement 2 is right, as the sustainable development agenda took shape in 2012 at the Rio+20 conference.

That conference produced the outcome document titled The Future We Want.

The document launched the process that led to the 2015 adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals.

Rio+20 marked twenty years since the 1992 Earth Summit in the same city.
