Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) is the designated nodal agency in India for the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) [4]. As the primary administrative body for environmental planning and coordination, the MoEFCC manages India's engagement with UNEP, including participation in the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA). India has maintained a close relationship with UNEP since its inception, and the MoEFCC oversees various ongoing projects and international collaborations, such as the South Asia Co-operative Environment Programme (SACEP) and the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) [4]. While other ministries like the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Earth Sciences handle specific scientific research and climate monitoring, the MoEFCC remains the central authority for implementing environmental policies and representing India at global environmental forums [4].
