With reference to 'Global Climate Change Alliance', which of the following statements is/are correct? 1. It is an initiative of the European Union. 2. It provides technical and financial support to targeted developing countries to integrate climate change into their development policies and budgets. 3. It is coordinated by World Resources Institute (WRI) and World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD). Select the correct answer using the code given below :

Describes the GCCA as an EU initiative aimed at building an alliance with poor developing countries most affected and with least capacity; notes it works through established European Commission channels rather than creating a new fund or governance structure.

A student could infer that working through Commission channels likely means the GCCA coordinates existing technical/financial instruments of the EU to assist these countries and then check EU program portfolios or country-level projects for concrete support.

Describes the Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN) as providing technical assistance and capacity building for developing countries—an example of how international climate mechanisms deliver technical support.

Use this pattern to reason that similar EU initiatives (like GCCA) may also offer technical assistance or link to bodies that do, then look for GCCA links to CTCN/technical programs.

The Special Climate Change Fund (SCCF) explicitly covers incremental costs, supports adaptation and capacity building for developing countries—showing a precedent of funds financing integration of climate into development.

A student can compare SCCF's mandate with GCCA's stated objective (helping low-capacity developing countries) and investigate whether GCCA channels align with SCCF-like finance or capacity-building activities in target countries.

Notes the Adaptation Fund provides adaptation support to developing countries under international agreements—another example that international funds are used to assist vulnerable countries.

Apply this example as a model: check if GCCA’s country-level interventions resemble those funded by Adaptation Fund (projects integrating adaptation into development planning).

States the Green Climate Fund (GCF) will support projects, programmes, policies and other activities in developing country Parties—illustrating that major climate finance mechanisms fund policy and program integration.

Given GCCA is EU-led, a student might look for coordination or complementary roles between GCCA and GCF (or similar mechanisms) to assess whether GCCA provides/links to financial and technical support for policy and budgeting.

Explicitly states the Global Climate Change Alliance (GCCA) is an initiative of the European Union and is administered by the European Commission.

A student could use this rule/example (that GCCA is EU‑administered) and check whether WRI/WBCSD are EU institutions or typically administer EU initiatives—if not, that weakens the statement.

Gives a clear example (IPCC) of major climate bodies being established and supported by UN agencies (UNEP/WMO), showing climate initiatives are often coordinated by intergovernmental organizations.

Compare GCCA’s listed administrator (EU/European Commission, per snippet 5) with the typical institutional sponsors (UN bodies) to judge plausibility of NGO coordination by WRI/WBCSD.

Describes the UNFCCC and the role of parties and intergovernmental responsibility in climate governance, illustrating that many climate initiatives operate through intergovernmental agreements rather than private NGOs.

Use the pattern that major climate initiatives are tied to intergovernmental frameworks to question whether an EU/UN linked alliance (GCCA) would be coordinated by NGOs like WRI/WBCSD.

States Rio+20 is a United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development, reinforcing the pattern that high‑level climate/sustainability initiatives are UN/EU led rather than private sector coordinated.

A student could contrast Rio+20/GCCA being UN/EU linked with the institutional nature of WRI/WBCSD (non‑governmental/business organizations) to assess the statement’s plausibility.
