The correct answer is option 3 - 8th. The Kigali Amendment is the 8th amendment to the Montreal Protocol. The Montreal Protocol is an international agreement designed to protect the ozone layer by phasing out the production and use of substances that deplete it, such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). The Kigali Amendment was adopted in 2016 during a meeting held in Kigali, Rwanda, and it seeks to address the issue of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), which are greenhouse gases with high global warming potential. This amendment aims to gradually reduce the production and consumption of HFCs, contributing to the global efforts to mitigate climate change. Therefore, it is considered the 8th amendment to the Montreal Protocol.
