The UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) was the outcome of which of the following meetings?

AMontreal Protocol
BStockholm Conference
CRio Summit ✓ Correct
DKyoto Protocol
Correct answer: (C) Rio Summit
Explanation

The framework convention on climate change was adopted at the Rio Earth Summit of 1992.

The Montreal Protocol dealt with ozone-depleting substances, not the climate convention.

The Stockholm Conference of 1972 launched global environmental diplomacy but predates this convention.

The Kyoto Protocol was later negotiated under the convention rather than giving birth to it.

The Rio Summit also produced the biodiversity convention and the agenda for sustainable development.

The climate convention set the stage for later agreements at Kyoto and Paris.
