Solution

The correct option is B 1, 2, 3 and 4
The UNFCCC entered into force on 21 March 1994. Today, it has near-universal membership. The 197 countries that have ratified the Convention are called Parties to the Convention. The UNFCCC is a “Rio Convention”, one of three adopted at the “Rio Earth Summit” in 1992. Its sister Rio Conventions are the UN Convention on Biological Diversity and the Convention to Combat Desertification. Since August 1996, the secretariat has been located in Bonn, Germany. It moved from its previous location in Geneva, Switzerland, following an offer from Germany to host the secretariat, an offer accepted by COP 1. India is a member of UNFCCC.
