2 only

Both 1 and 2

Neither 1 nor 2

Explanation:

Option d is the correct answer.
Statement 1 is incorrect. The European Union launched the Global Climate Change Alliance (GCCA) in 2007. The overall objective is to create a new climate change alliance between the European Union and the poor countries that are most affected and lack the resources to deal with the issue.
Statement 2 is incorrect. The GCCA provides technical as well as financial support to partner countries to integrate climate change into their development policies and budgets, and to implement projects that address climate change on the ground, promoting climate-resilient, low-emission development. Technical and financial cooperation, in turn, informs political dialogue and exchange of experience at regional and global levels.
