Explanation

The correct option is indeed 1 and 2 only. The Global Climate Change Alliance (GCCA) is primarily an initiative of the European Union aimed at supporting developing countries in addressing climate change challenges. It provides both technical and financial assistance to help these countries incorporate climate change considerations into their national development strategies. However, it is not coordinated by the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), which differentiates it from other climate-related partnerships that may involve these organizations. Understanding these nuances in international environmental initiatives is crucial for UPSC aspirants, as they reflect the global commitment to sustainable development and climate action.
