2. **Hague Convention:** This term refers to a series of international treaties concluded at The Hague, Netherlands. These include conventions on international private law, laws of war (1899, 1907), cultural property protection, etc. While conventions related to chemical/biological weapons exist (like the Chemical Weapons Convention implemented by OPCW in The Hague), the term “Hague Convention” is not typically used to *specifically* refer to biological and chemical weapons conventions in general. Pair 2 is incorrectly matched.
3. **Talanoa Dialogue:** This was a process under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), launched at COP23 in 2017. It was a facilitative dialogue for countries to assess their progress towards the goals of the Paris Agreement and inform the preparation of their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). It is directly related to global climate change. Pair 3 is correctly matched.
4. **Under2 Coalition:** This is a coalition of subnational governments (states, regions, provinces) committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions to below 2 tonnes per capita by 2050. It is focused on climate action at the subnational level, not child rights. Pair 4 is incorrectly matched.
