Explanation

The 'Race to Zero' is a UN-backed global campaign launched ahead of COP26 to mobilize leadership and support from non-state actors, including businesses, cities, regions, and investors. Its primary objective is to build momentum around the shift to a decarbonized economy to achieve the commitments of the Paris Agreement. The campaign aims to rally these actors to halve global emissions by 2030 and reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 at the latest. Statement 1 is correct as it accurately reflects this goal of driving a zero-carbon recovery and building momentum for decarbonization. Statement 2 is incorrect; the campaign is a collaborative climate action initiative based on the 'Ambition Loop' between non-state actors and governments, rather than being related to the 'Zero-Sum Game' theory, which describes situations where one participant's gain is exactly balanced by the losses of others.
