"Climate Action Tracker" which monitors the emission reduction pledges of different countries is a:
ADatabase created by coalition of research organisations
BWing of "International Panel of Climate Change"
CCommittee under "United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change"
DAgency promoted and financed by United Nations Environment Programme and World Bank
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Database created by coalition of research organisations
Answer: A. Climate Action Tracker is a database created by a coalition of research organisations.
CLIMATE ACTION TRACKER (CAT) is an independent scientific analysis produced by two research organisations: CLIMATE ANALYTICS and the NEW CLIMATE INSTITUTE. They have tracked climate commitments and policies of around 40 countries (covering over 80% of global emissions) since 2009.
CAT assesses each country's policies and targets against the Paris Agreement temperature goals, rating them as 'Critically insufficient', 'Highly insufficient', 'Insufficient', 'Almost sufficient' or '1.5 C Paris Agreement compatible'. The aggregate '2.7 C by 2100' projection is widely cited at COP climate meetings.
Distractors fail:
(B) IPCC is the UN scientific body; CAT is independent.
(C) Not a UNFCCC committee; CAT is private research.
(D) Not UN-funded; CAT is funded by foundations and grants.
