Explanation
The International Solar Alliance was launched in 2015 to promote solar energy among sun-rich nations.
The Convention on Biological Diversity was adopted in 1992 at the Rio Earth Summit.
India's National Action Plan on Climate Change was released in 2008 with its eight missions.
The Kyoto Protocol was adopted in 1997, binding industrialised countries to emission cuts.
Pairing the solar alliance with 1997 or biodiversity with 2015 reverses these founding years.
The Kyoto Protocol entered into force only in 2005 after Russia ratified it.
