Correct Answer: Option C
"Momentum for Change: Climate Neutral Now" is an initiative launched by the UNFCCC Secretariat.
The initiative aims to promote climate action among non-Party stakeholders, including sub-national governments, companies, organizations, and individuals.
Launched in 2015, it encourages the voluntary use of carbon market mechanisms recognized under the Convention, with the goal of achieving a climate-neutral world by mid-century, as outlined in the Paris Agreement.
The initiative follows a three-step method:
- Measure greenhouse gas emissions.
- Reduce emissions as much as possible.
- Compensate for unavoidable emissions using UN-certified emission reductions (CERs).
Hence, the UNFCCC Secretariat launched this initiative.
