Which of the following is NOT a key component of India's technological framework for addressing climate change?

  1. Renewable energy

  2. Energy efficiency

  3. Carbon capture and storage

  4. Nuclear power


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Nuclear power is not a key component of India's technological framework for addressing climate change, as it is a controversial technology with potential environmental and safety risks.

What is the target for India's renewable energy capacity by 2030?

  1. 100 GW

  2. 175 GW

  3. 250 GW

  4. 400 GW


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

India has set a target of achieving 400 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030, as part of its commitment to combating climate change.

Which of the following is NOT a key area of focus for India's energy efficiency efforts?

  1. Industrial energy efficiency

  2. Building energy efficiency

  3. Transportation energy efficiency

  4. Agricultural energy efficiency


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Agricultural energy efficiency is not a key area of focus for India's energy efficiency efforts, as agriculture is a relatively small contributor to India's overall energy consumption.

What is the name of India's flagship program for promoting energy efficiency in industries?

  1. Perform, Achieve, and Trade (PAT)

  2. Energy Conservation Act (ECA)

  3. Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE)

  4. National Mission for Enhanced Energy Efficiency (NMEEE)


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Perform, Achieve, and Trade (PAT) program is India's flagship program for promoting energy efficiency in industries. It is a market-based mechanism that encourages industries to reduce their energy consumption and trade energy-saving certificates.

Which of the following is NOT a key technology for carbon capture and storage (CCS) in India?

  1. Pre-combustion capture

  2. Post-combustion capture

  3. Oxyfuel combustion

  4. Chemical looping combustion


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Chemical looping combustion is not a key technology for carbon capture and storage (CCS) in India, as it is a relatively new and unproven technology.

What is the name of India's national mission for promoting sustainable habitat?

  1. National Mission for Sustainable Habitat (NMSH)

  2. National Mission for Enhanced Energy Efficiency (NMEEE)

  3. National Mission for Green India (NMGI)

  4. National Mission for Sustainable Agriculture (NMSA)


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The National Mission for Sustainable Habitat (NMSH) is India's national mission for promoting sustainable habitat. It aims to promote energy efficiency in buildings, sustainable urban planning, and green transportation.

Which of the following is NOT a key area of focus for India's climate change adaptation efforts?

  1. Agriculture

  2. Water resources

  3. Forestry

  4. Coastal areas


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Forestry is not a key area of focus for India's climate change adaptation efforts, as forests are relatively resilient to climate change compared to other ecosystems.

What is the name of India's national mission for sustainable agriculture?

  1. National Mission for Sustainable Agriculture (NMSA)

  2. National Mission for Enhanced Energy Efficiency (NMEEE)

  3. National Mission for Green India (NMGI)

  4. National Mission for Sustainable Habitat (NMSH)


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The National Mission for Sustainable Agriculture (NMSA) is India's national mission for promoting sustainable agriculture. It aims to promote climate-resilient agricultural practices, improve water use efficiency, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture.
