Result
Your answer: —  Âˇ  Correct: A
Explanation

The correct answer is option A (statements 1 and 2 only).

The Global Climate Change Alliance (GCCA) is an initiative of the European Union, administered by the European Commission[1], making statement 1 correct. The GCCA provided technical and financial support to partner countries to integrate climate change into their development policies and budgets, and to implement projects that address climate change on the ground[2], which confirms statement 2 is correct.

However, statement 3 is incorrect. The GCCA does not intend to set up a new fund or governance structure, but is working through the European Commission's established channels for political dialogue and cooperation at national and international level[1]. The alliance is administered by the European Commission itself, not coordinated by WRI and WBCSD. Therefore, only statements 1 and 2 are correct, making option A the right answer.

This question is a classic 'Standard Book Check'. While it sounds like obscure current affairs, the GCCA is explicitly covered in standard texts like Shankar IAS (Chapter 24). The strategy is simple: for every international acronym, memorize the 'Parent Body' and 'Primary Mandate'. If you skipped the Organizations chapter, you lost free marks.
