本题详细解析:
Statement I is true. Individuals can stand up and influence people’s actions, both in their personal lives as well as their professional lives. If you watch a video of Severn Suzuki's speech, you can see clearly how uncomfortable the delegates were listening to her reminder of the effect of their decisions on the lives of their own children.
Statement II is not true, as legislation to protect the ozone from further damage was signed in 1987 in Montreal and is known as the Montreal Protocol.
Statement III is not true because while Severn did inspire many to raise their voices in protest, they only did so after watching her speech, which was too late to influence the decisions made at the Rio Earth Summit. It certainly influenced decisions made afterwards, though.
