This question's explanation and your answers so far.
問 9
Incorrectア
COP21 refers to the 21st Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (held in Paris in 2015, where the Paris Agreement was adopted). It is a “conference” for discussing climate change measures, not a development goal made up of 17 goals.
- イ
正解 Choice イ, the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals), is the correct answer. The SDGs are international goals adopted at the 2015 United Nations Summit to realize a “sustainable world” by 2030, and they consist of 17 goals (plus 169 targets) such as “No Poverty” and “Climate Action.” Because it matches all three conditions in the question — “led by the United Nations,” “a sustainable world,” and “17 goals” — イ is correct.
Incorrectウ
UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) is a specialized agency of the United Nations that promotes education, science, and culture; it is the name of an “organization,” not the development goal made up of 17 goals itself.
Incorrectエ
WHO (World Health Organization) is a specialized agency of the United Nations responsible for international health; it too is the name of an “organization,” not a term referring to the 17 goals for realizing a sustainable world.
- The SDGs are the “Sustainable Development Goals” adopted at the United Nations in 2015; they consist of 17 goals and 169 targets, with a target date of 2030.
- For abbreviation questions, keep in mind the categories of “goal (SDGs),” “conference (COP21),” and “specialized agency of the United Nations (UNESCO, WHO),” and distinguish between them based on the nature of what is being asked.
