Which of the following statements about 'Marrakech Partnership' is/are correct? 1. It is an intergovernmental partnership for global climate action. 2. It is not only an intergovernmental partnership for global climate action but also a collaboration between governments and other stakeholders like cities, businesses and investors. 3. This partnership is guided by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4. The Marrakech Partnership for Global Climate Action was launched at COP22 in 2016 to accelerate climate implementation between 2017 and 2020.

  • Statement 1 is incorrect: The partnership is not exclusively "intergovernmental." Its core purpose is to bridge the gap between state and non-state actors.
  • Statement 2 is correct: It intentionally fosters collaboration between governments and non-party stakeholders, including cities, regions, businesses, and investors, to support the Paris Agreement goals.
  • Statement 3 is incorrect: While it aligns with global goals, the partnership is specifically guided by the Paris Agreement (specifically to support its implementation) rather than being fundamentally guided by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

Therefore, only statement 2 accurately describes the inclusive nature and structural composition of the partnership, making Option 4 the right choice.
