- 2.The CCAC focuses on methane, black carbon and hydrofluorocarbons.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct ?
Show answer
Answer: B. Statement 1 is wrong: the Climate and Clean Air Coalition was launched in 2012 by UNEP and six countries (Bangladesh, Canada, Ghana, Mexico, Sweden and the United States). It is not a G20 initiative. Statement 2 is correct: it focuses on short-lived climate pollutants, mainly methane, black carbon and hydrofluorocarbons (and tropospheric ozone). So 2 only.
Watch for: Many climate bodies are linked to the G20, so students accept it here; the CCAC was started by UNEP and six countries.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Wrong because the CCAC is not a G20 initiative.
- C. Wrong because statement 1 is false.
- D. Wrong because statement 2 is true.
