- B.2 only
- C.Both 1 and 2
- D.Neither 1 nor 2
▶ Answer & Explanation
Correct answer: B. 2 only
The Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) is a voluntary partnership focused on reducing short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs). While G20 countries are often participants, the CCAC itself is not a G20 initiative but rather a broader global coalition. Its primary focus areas include methane, black carbon, and hydrofluorocarbons, which are potent greenhouse gases with significant short-term warming effects and also impact air quality.
