Question 4 of 5
4. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements:
- Loss and damage first appeared in a negotiated outcome of the United Nations (UN) climate talks in 2007 as part of the Bali Action Plan.
- In 2015, developing nations successfully pressed to include an article on loss and damage in the Paris Agreement.
- The Loss and Damage Fund was created at the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference held in Paris.
How many of the above statements are correct?
Correct
Answer: B
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is correct: Loss and damage first appeared in a negotiated outcome of the UN climate talks in 2007 as part of the Bali Action Plan. Yet it wasn’t until 2013 that the issue gained real traction in these negotiations, when parties formed the Warsaw International Mechanism on Loss and Damage to avert, minimize and address loss and damage. The Warsaw Mechanism was mandated to share knowledge, strengthen dialogues among stakeholders, and mobilize expertise to enhance action and support for loss and damage. But neither the Warsaw Mechanism nor any other established mechanism delivered funding to help countries manage loss and damage.
- Statement 2 is correct: In 2015, developing nations successfully pressed to include an article on loss and damage (Article 8) in the Paris Agreement. However, finance related to loss and damage was ignored. Not only that, but developed countries secured language in the accompanying COP decision explicitly stating that loss and damage “does not involve or provide a basis for any liability or compensation.
Statement 3 is not correct: The Loss and Damage Fund was created at the COP27 climate meeting in Egypt in 2022 after several years of protracted negotiations. Developing countries, particularly small island states that face the greatest threats from climate impacts, had been demanding financial assistance in case of climate-related disasters, arguing that they were having to suffer due to a problem created by rich and developed countries.

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
1 pointsWho are the Alawites, recently seen in the news?
Correct
Answer: B
Explanation:
Option B is correct: The Alawites are a sect of Shi’ite Islam and the second-largest religious group in Syria after Sunni Muslims.
