Explanation:

It is a world-renowned eco-label awarded to beaches across the world by UNEP: This statement is incorrect. The Blue Flag is indeed a world-renowned eco-label, but it is awarded by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE), not the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).

The Chandrabhaga beach on the Konark coast of Odisha is going to become the first in Asia to receive this certification: This statement is correct. Chandrabhaga beach in Odisha received the Blue Flag certification, making it the first beach in Asia to achieve this recognition.

Therefore, the correct option is 2 only.
