UGC NET 2019 Paper 1 Question Paper (5-Dec-2019) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is

(a), (b), (c) and (f)

In this question, we are tasked with identifying the themes of some Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) from the given options. The Sustainable Development Goals are a collection of 17 global goals set by the United Nations General Assembly in 2015 for the year 2030. They cover a broad range of social, economic, and environmental development issues.

Let's break down each option and match them against the actual SDGs:

  1. Climate Action: This is indeed a theme of one of the SDGs. Specifically, SDG 13 aims to "Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts."
  2. Sustainable Cities and Communities: This is covered by SDG 11, which aims to "Make cities inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable."
  3. Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions: This corresponds to SDG 16, which seeks to "Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all, and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels."
  4. Skill Development and Decent Employment: While employment and economic growth are covered under SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), "Skill Development" as such isn't explicitly named as a theme.
  5. Green Agriculture: Although agriculture is a significant aspect of the SDGs, especially under SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) and SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), "Green Agriculture" as a specific term/theme isn't separately mentioned.
  6. Responsible Consumption and Production: This theme is reflected in SDG 12, which aims for "Responsible consumption and production."

Now, based on the matches identified above, the correct themes from the SDGs that align with the options provided are:

  • Climate Action
  • Sustainable Cities and Communities
  • Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions
  • Responsible Consumption and Production

Thus, the correct answer is the option that includes these themes: (a), (b), (c), and (f).
