Your answer: —  ·  Correct: C

Explanation

Statement 1 is correct: The IPCC is an international body under the United Nations responsible for advancing knowledge on human-induced climate change. It assesses scientific, technical, and socio-economic information relevant to understanding the risk of climate change.

Statement 2 is incorrect: While the IPCC was founded in 1988, it was established by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) together. Because the statement omits UNEP, it is considered inaccurate in the context of specific competitive exam standards where founding parentage must be complete.
