I’m confused; I thought the UN had agreements at both national and international levels. I need to remember which one is more emphasized in their framework.

I feel like "Regional level" could be a possibility too, especially since some agreements focus on specific areas, but I lean towards "International level."

I remember practicing a question about environmental agreements, and I think they were mostly at the national level, but that seems less likely here.

I think the answer might be "International level" since the UN operates globally, but I'm not entirely sure.

I'm pretty confident on this one. The UN Global Compact is an international organization, so the environmental agreements it holds countries to must be at the international level. A should be the correct answer.

Okay, I've got a strategy for this. The key is to focus on the word "shared" in the question stem. That suggests the agreements are at a broader level, not just local or regional. I'm leaning towards the international level as the best answer.

A. International level, no doubt. Unless the UN has secretly been running a local recycling program in my neighborhood, which would be a plot twist!
