Explanation
- A
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
(a) The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. IPCC assesses science; it did not launch “Momentum for Change: Climate Neutral Now”. This option is not the key.
- B
The UNEP Secretariat
(b) The UNEP Secretariat. UNEP runs many environment programmes, but this branded initiative sits with the climate convention secretariat. This option is not the key.
- C
The UNFCCC Secretariat
(c) The UNFCCC Secretariat. “Momentum for Change” and the “Climate Neutral Now” drive were UNFCCC Secretariat initiatives to showcase climate action and promote neutrality. This option is the official key.
- D
The World Meteorological Organization
(d) The World Meteorological Organization. WMO co-sponsors IPCC and weather systems; it is not the parent of this campaign. This option is not the key.
Summary. Official key is (c) The UNFCCC Secretariat. Climate Neutral Now / Momentum for Change is a Bonn-secretariat campaign under the climate convention, not an IPCC assessment product, not a UNEP flagship, and not a WMO programme. The institutional home in the options is therefore UNFCCC. That is letter (c).
