Which of the following statements is/are correct about ‘Action for Climate Empowerment’ (ACE)? 1. It is a term adopted by the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. 2. This term is related to the Paris Agreement. Select the correct answer using the code given below:
Explanation
Action for Climate Empowerment (ACE) is a term formally adopted by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). It refers to the work carried out under Article 6 of the original 1992 Convention and Article 12 of the Paris Agreement. The primary objective of ACE is to empower all members of society to engage in climate action through six key elements: education, training, public awareness, public participation, public access to information, and international cooperation. These elements are considered pivotal for achieving the long-term goals of the Paris Agreement and fostering climate-resilient development. Recent developments, such as the Glasgow work programme on ACE adopted at COP26, further solidify its role in the Paris Agreement framework by promoting lifestyle changes and public ownership of climate policies. Therefore, both statements regarding its adoption by the UNFCCC and its relationship to the Paris Agreement are correct.
