C. 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development
D. Agenda 21
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
The central theme is understanding how international agreements address the inclusion of children and youth in Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR). The question asks us to identify which listed frameworks are NOT related to this specific concern.
Various international platforms and agreements shape global policies. We need to evaluate if they specifically incorporate the perspectives and needs of children and youth concerning DRR.
Let's examine each framework mentioned:
| Framework Option | Framework Name | Relevance to Children/Youth in DRR (as per the provided answer) |
|---|---|---|
| A | The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (2015-2030) | Considered NOT related in this context. Despite being the core DRR framework, the provided answer implies it doesn't sufficiently focus on the explicit inclusion of children's and youth voices. |
| B | The Paris Agreement on Climate Change | Considered NOT related. Its primary focus is climate action targets. While climate change impacts youth and relates to DRR, the agreement itself is not centered on integrating children's specific DRR concerns. |
| C | 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development | Considered NOT related. This is a broad agenda. While relevant SDGs exist, it is not specifically dedicated to the inclusion of children and youth within DRR processes. |
| D | Agenda 21 | Considered related. It specifically addresses 'Children and Youth' in Chapter 25, advocating for their participation in sustainable development, which encompasses disaster resilience. |
The question asks which frameworks are NOT related. Based on the assessment:
Therefore, the set of frameworks identified as NOT related is {A, B, C}.
The correct choice corresponds to the option listing frameworks A, B, and C as those not related to the cause/concerns of integrating children and youth voices in DRR. This aligns with Option 1 provided.
| List-I (Events) | List-II (Years) |

| C. Convention for the Protection of the Ozone layer (Vienna) | III. 2012 |
| D. Paris Climate Change Conference (COP-21) | IV. 1972 |
