Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: B
Explanation

The 'Climate Neutral Now' initiative was launched by the UNFCCC secretariat in 2015 [1]. Its primary objective is to encourage and support organizations, sub-national governments, and individuals to take voluntary climate action to achieve a climate-neutral world by mid-century (2050), not 2030 [1]. Therefore, Statement 1 is incorrect regarding the target year. The initiative explicitly derives its aims from the Paris Agreement, which was adopted the same year, and seeks to implement its goals by promoting a three-step method: measuring, reducing, and offsetting carbon footprints [1]. It serves as a tool for non-Party stakeholders to align with the global effort to limit temperature increases as enshrined in the Paris framework. Consequently, Statement 2 is correct as the initiative is a direct mechanism to support the Agreement's long-term vision [1].
