Identify from the options given below, the co-benefit of Montreal Protocol

1. 1. Impetus to development of energy efficient systems
2. 2. Reduction in carbon dioxide (equivalent) emissions
3. 3. Convergence of efforts of international community in addressing air pollution
4. 4. Control of transboundary movement of hazardous waste

Explanation

The co- benefit of Montreal Protocol is reduction in carbon dioxide (equivalent) emission. Montreal protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer is a landmark agreement that has successfully reduced the global production, consumption, and emissions of ozone-depleting substances (ODSs). ODSs are also greenhouse gases that contribute to the radioactive forcing of climate change.

The Montreal Protocol is an international treaty designed to protect the ozone layer by phasing out the production of numerous substances that are responsible for ozone depletion. It was agreed on 16th September 1987, and entered into force on 1st January 1989.

So, option 2 is correct answer
