YESPYQ · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: 2 only. Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) is a volun- tary alliance of governments, intergovernmental organisations, corporations, academic institutions, and organisations from civil society dedicated to enhancing air quality and defending the en- vironment by taking steps to reduce short-lived climate pollut- ants. Statement 1 is incorrect: The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the governments of Bangladesh, Canada, Ghana, Mexico, Sweden, and the United States joined forces in 2012 to launch initiatives to handle short-lived climate pollut- ants as an urgent and collective concern. CCAC is not an initia- tive of G20 countries. Statement 2 is correct: CCAC works to reduce Short-Lived Cli- mate Pollutants which includes black carbon, methane, tropo- spheric ozone, and hydro-fluorocarbons. By addressing these pollutants, the coalition aims to achieve near-term climate bene- fits, improve air quality, and promote public health. 164
