Q. Global Climate Change Alliance Initiative for country's vulnerability to climate change  is managed by the :

A) The European Commission

B) The Global Environment Facility

C) UNDP

D) World Bank

Ans. A

The Global Climate Change Alliance Plus (GCCA+) is a European Union flagship initiative which is helping

the world's most vulnerable countries to address climate change. Having started with just four pilot

projects in 2008, it has become a major climate initiative that has funded over 70 projects of national,

regional and worldwide scope in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and the Pacific.

This EU initiative helps mainly Small Islands Developing States (SIDS) and Least Developed Countries

(LDCs) increase their resilience to climate change.

The GCCA+ also supports these group of countries in implementing their commitments resulting from the

2015 Paris Agreement on Climate Change (COP21), in line with the2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development

and the new European Consensus on Development.

The GCCA+ initiative is making a significant contribution towards achieving the overall target of at

least 20 % of the EU budget spent for climate action. All GCCA+ projects must primarily aim at 

facilitating the transition to a climate-resilient, low-carbon future in line with the 2°C target.

GCCA funding increased from EUR 317.5 million in the first phase (2007-2014) to EUR 420 million in the

second phase (2014-2020). Read more on financial resources.
