The correct answer is "1 and 3 only."

1. The statement is correct. The Forest Carbon Partnership Facility (FCPF) is indeed a global partnership that includes governments, businesses, civil society, and indigenous peoples. Its objective is to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, promote sustainable forest management, and enhance carbon stocks in forests.

2. The statement is incorrect. The FCPF does not provide financial aid to universities, individual scientists, or institutions involved in scientific forestry research. Its focus is on supporting countries in their efforts to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation.

3. The statement is correct. The FCPF assists countries in their "REDD+" efforts, which stands for "Reducing Emission from Deforestation and Forest Degradation." It provides financial and technical assistance to help countries develop and implement REDD+ strategies, policies, and projects. The aim is to incentivize forest conservation, sustainable management, and enhancement of forest carbon stocks.

Therefore, the correct answer is "1 and 3 only."
