1, 2 and 3
Explanation
The Global Climate Change Alliance (GCCA) is indeed an initiative of the European Union, launched in 2007. Statement 1 is correct. The GCCA provides technical and financial support to particularly vulnerable developing countries to integrate climate change into their development policies and budgets, making statement 2 correct. However, statement 3 is incorrect—the GCCA is coordinated by the European Union institutions (the European Commission), not by WRI and WBCSD. The WRI and WBCSD are separate organizations that work on sustainability but do not coordinate the GCCA. Therefore, only statements 1 and 2 are correct. > GCCA = EU Initiative (not WRI/WBCSD) for Climate Integration in Developing Nations.
Answer: (a).
