Consider the following statements: 1. "The Climate Group" is an international non-profit organization that drives climate action by building large networks and runs them. 2. The International Energy Agency in partnership with the Climate Group launched a global initiative "EP100". 3. EP100 brings together leading companies committed to driving innovation in energy efficiency and increasing competitiveness while delivering on emission reduction goals. 4. Some Indian companies are members of EP100. 5. The International Energy Agency is the Secretariat to the "Under2 Coalition". Which of the statements given above are correct?

Describes a 'network-based programme' (INCCA) made of 100+ institutions and scientists — shows that climate action is sometimes organised by formal networks of actors.

A student could test whether The Climate Group similarly organizes many institutions (cities, businesses) into a formal network as part of its modus operandi.

Describes the InsuResilience Global Partnership which 'brings together' countries, civil society, international organisations and private sector — an example of an international partnership/network for climate action.

One could check whether The Climate Group is structured and described like these multi-actor international partnerships (i.e., convening diverse members across borders).

Nazca Climate Action Portal increases visibility of climate action among cities, regions, companies and investors, including those 'under international cooperative initiatives' — indicates portals/networks are used to coordinate climate action.

A student might look to see if The Climate Group operates similar portals or membership networks linking subnational actors and companies.

Mentions the Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN), which provides technical assistance and capacity building — an explicit example of a networked international climate institution.

Use this as a model to ask whether The Climate Group functions as a specialized non-profit network providing coordination/assistance rather than, say, a single-country agency.

Notes that global climate finance is channelled through multilateral funds and bilateral channels — shows climate action commonly operates through international institutional architectures.

A student could compare The Climate Group's scope (international vs national) and funding/affiliation patterns against these multilateral/bilateral architectures to judge its international/non-profit character.

Describes the IEA as an organization that runs programmes, reports and international technology collaboration platforms, indicating IEA can be an initiator or partner in energy-related initiatives.

A student could check whether EP100 appears among IEA programmes or publications (or whether EP100 is listed as an IEA collaboration) using the IEA's programme listings or World Energy Outlook.

Shows a pattern where global energy initiatives are launched as multi-party partnerships (e.g., ISA/India/France/UK for OSOWOG).

One could use this pattern to suspect EP100 might also be a multi-organization partnership and therefore look for press releases naming partner organisations (IEA and/or The Climate Group).

Notes that major climate initiatives are often launched at UNFCCC Conferences of Parties (COPs), providing a common venue for announcing global initiatives.

A student could check COP conference records and launch announcements to see if EP100 was announced at a COP and by which organisations.

Gives an example (NAZCA portal) where international cooperative initiatives and their signatories are made visible via centralized portals supported by UNFCCC.

One could search such climate action portals or consolidated initiative registries to see listed founders/partners of EP100.

Illustrates that global initiatives frequently involve coalitions of governments, international organisations, civil society and private sector partners.

This suggests checking coalition membership lists or official launch statements for EP100 to identify whether IEA and The Climate Group are named partners.

Mentions the Nazca Climate Action Portal increasing visibility of climate action 'among cities, regions, companies and investors, including those under international cooperative initiatives', showing that portals catalogue initiatives that convene companies.

A student could check such portals or listings to see whether EP100 is catalogued as an initiative that brings together companies for energy-efficiency goals.

Describes market-based approaches and named programs (e.g., Perform Achieve and Trade) as mechanisms to 'unlock energy efficiency opportunities' and achieve emission and fuel savings—an example of initiatives that target companies for efficiency and competitiveness.

One could infer that initiatives framed around market mechanisms commonly recruit companies; a student could compare EP100's stated mechanisms to these program types to judge similarity.

States promoting 'innovative policy and regulatory regimes, financing mechanisms, and business models' to create and sustain markets for energy efficiency with clear time‑bound deliverables—indicating that some initiatives focus on firms and competitiveness through energy efficiency.

A student could use this pattern to examine whether EP100 sets similar business‑model/financial incentives and competitive targets for participating companies.

Gives examples (e.g., installing more energy‑efficient boilers) where project activities stimulate sustainable development and emission reductions, illustrating how company-level energy efficiency projects deliver emission goals.

A student could infer that an initiative claiming to 'bring together companies' would likely promote or showcase such company projects and then look for EP100 examples of firm-level efficiency action.

Notes 'Momentum for Change, a special initiative of the UNFCCC launched', showing that high‑level initiatives are used to highlight and mobilize climate action—an organizational pattern similar to coalitions of companies.

A student could use this as a model to expect that The Climate Group's EP100 (if similar) would act to convene and publicize corporate commitments on efficiency and emissions.

Describes the IEA's remit, OECD membership requirement, Paris headquarters and its role publishing energy reports — characterises what the IEA typically does and where it is based.

A student could check whether the Under2 Coalition's secretariat duties (host city, publishing/administrative role) match the IEA's known location and mandate to assess plausibility.

Gives a clear example of an international organisation having a dedicated secretariat located in a specific city (League of Nations in Geneva) — illustrates the common organisational pattern of a secretariat being housed within an institution and city.

Using this pattern, one could look up where the Under2 Coalition's secretariat is officially located and see if it aligns with known IEA locations (e.g., Paris).

Describes the creation of a specialized international alliance (International Solar Alliance) and mentions a formal agency name (IASPA) to serve it — shows that coalitions often establish or name a dedicated secretariat/agency.

A student might check whether Under2 has an analogous named secretariat body or was set up under an existing agency like the IEA.

Explains IRENA's role as an intergovernmental organisation and 'principal platform for international cooperation' on renewables — provides an example of a specialised energy organisation acting as a cooperation hub (a role similar to some secretariats).

Compare the cooperative/secretariat functions described for IRENA with the functions required by Under2 to see if an organisation like the IEA would be a likely secretariat.

Describes an international non-profit platform (REN21) offering policy information and acting as a multi-stakeholder connector — an example of how secretariat-like activities are often performed by specialised platforms or associations rather than by all international agencies.

Use this example to consider whether Under2's secretariat role is more likely fulfilled by a specialist platform/NGO or by a large intergovernmental agency like the IEA.
