Q73. Which one of the following statements best reflects the most logical, rational and crucial message conveyed by the passage?

A. Climate justice should be ingrained in detail in the rules of all the new climate compacts/agreements.✓ Correct
B. Environmental resources are unevenly distributed and exploited across the globe.
C. There is an impending issue of dealing with a huge number of climate change victims/climate refugees.
D. Climate changes in all its connotations is mostly due to developed countries and therefore their share of burden should be more.

Detailed Solution

✓ Correct Answer: Option A

The passage emphasizes the significance of climate justice, noting its lack of consensus in past climate compacts and highlighting that the 'crucial question' is how resources, technologies, and regulations will be used to support climate change victims, including adaptation and compensation. This strongly implies that for climate justice to be effectively addressed, it must be formally and thoroughly integrated into future climate agreements.

Option (A) directly captures this need for formal inclusion and detailed rules. Option (B) is outside the scope of the passage. Option (C) describes a consequence but not the central message about the principle of climate justice itself.

Option (D) introduces a specific attribution of responsibility, which, while related to climate justice, is not the primary message conveyed by the passage.
