Correct answer: A. 1 and 2 only

The Global Climate Change Alliance (GCCA) is indeed a European Union initiative aimed at supporting developing countries. Its core objective is to assist these nations in integrating climate change considerations into their national development strategies and budgets, thereby enhancing their resilience and capacity to adapt to climate impacts. The coordination of this alliance does not typically fall under the purview of the World Resources Institute or the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, which are distinct environmental organizations.
