Explanation:

The GCCA was established by the European Union (EU) in 2007 to strengthen dialogue and cooperation with developing countries, in particular least developed countries (LDCs) and small island developing States (SIDS). Statement 1 is correct

Under the first pillar, the GCCA+ serves as a platform for dialogue and exchange of experience between the EU and developing countries, focusing on climate policy and bringing renewed attention to the issue of international climate finance. Statement 2 is correct.

Under the second pillar, the GCCA+ acts as a source of technical and financial support for the world's most climate-vulnerable countries, whose populations need climate finance the most. International organisations – notably the Centre for International Forestry Research

World Resources Institute (WRI) and World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) are not partners of GCCA although other institutions like FAO, UNDP etc. are part of it. Therefore statement 3 is incorrect.
