D
1, 2 and 3
Explanation
Statements 1 and 2 are correct because the Global Climate Change Alliance (GCCA) was established by the European Union in 2007 to provide financial and technical assistance to vulnerable developing countries (specifically LDCs and SIDS) for climate policy integration. Statement 3 is the primary distractor and is incorrect because the GCCA is coordinated by the European Commission, whereas the WRI and WBCSD are the organizations responsible for the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. The core concept being tested is the specific institutional leadership and mandate of international climate cooperation frameworks.
