Explanation

The Paris Agreement is built around Intended Nationally Determined Contributions, each country's self-set climate pledges.

The Kyoto Protocol introduced emissions trading as one of its flexible market mechanisms.

The Rio Declaration framed the guiding principles linking environment and development.

The Montreal Protocol was created to phase out substances causing ozone depletion.

These pairings give Paris with INDCs, Kyoto with emissions trading, Rio with environment and development, and Montreal with ozone depletion.

The Montreal Protocol of 1987 remains one of the most successful global environmental treaties.
