Consider the following statements : 1. Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) to Reduce Short Lived Climate Pollutants is a unique initiative of G20 group of countries. 2. The CCAC focuses on methane, black carbon and hydrofluorocarbons. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
A
1 only
B
2 only
Correct Answer
C
Both 1 and 2
D
Neither 1 nor 2
Explanation
Statement 2 is correct because the CCAC specifically targets Short-Lived Climate Pollutants (SLCPs) including methane, black carbon, and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) to achieve immediate climate and health benefits. Statement 1 is incorrect because the coalition was launched in 2012 by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and six founding countries, rather than being a G20 initiative. The core concept being tested is the mandate and origin of international environmental organizations focused on atmospheric pollutants.
