With reference to the ‘Global Alliance for Climate-Smart Agriculture (GACSA)’, which of the following statements is/are correct?
  1. GACSA is an outcome of the Climate Summit held in
  2. Membership of GACSA does not create any binding
  3. India was instrumental in the creation of GACSA.
Select the correct answer using the code given below:

Explanation

The correct answer is "2 only." The Global Alliance for Climate-Smart Agriculture (GACSA) was indeed launched at the Climate Summit in 2014, not 2015, making statement 1 incorrect. Membership in GACSA functions on a voluntary basis, meaning it does not impose binding obligations on member nations, which aligns with statement 2 being correct. While India did play a significant role in global climate discussions, it was not solely responsible for the formation of GACSA, thus making statement 3 misleading. This distinction is important for understanding international cooperative frameworks in addressing climate change while balancing national sovereignty and agricultural practices.
