The correct answer is A) 1 and 2 only.
The Global Climate Change Alliance (GCCA) was launched by the European Union. Its primary objective is to provide technical and financial support to developing countries to help them integrate climate change considerations into their development policies and budgets.
The GCCA was established by the European Commission in 2007 to enhance dialogue and cooperation on climate change between the European Union and developing countries most vulnerable to climate change, particularly Least Developed Countries (LDCs) and Small Island Developing States (SIDS). Statement 3 is incorrect; the GCCA is managed and funded primarily by the European Union and its Member States, not coordinated by WRI and WBCSD.
