Explanation:

? Global Learning and Observation to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) is an international environmental science and education programme that brings students, teachers and scientists together to study the global environment. Hence, statement 1 is correct.

? GLOBE is sponsored by the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) with support from the National Science Foundation (NSF), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and Department of State. Internationally, GLOBE is implemented through government-togovernment agreements with each country partner responsible for in-country activities. As the lead agency for GLOBE in the U.S., NASA has the primary responsibility for administering the government-togovernment agreements, and for the management of the GLOBE Implementation Office (GIO) and the data and information system that support the worldwide implementation. Hence, statement 2 is not correct.

? MoEFCC and US Government signed an agreement on 25th day of August 2000 to implement the Globe programme in India. Indian Environmental Society is an implementing agency for Globe in India. Hence, statement 3 is correct
