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.
