💡 Analysis & Explanation
Organization Verification ▼
Statement 1 is correct. The Climate Group is indeed an international non-profit working with business and government leaders.
EP100 Initiative ▼
Statement 2 is incorrect because EP100 was launched by the Climate Group in partnership with the Alliance to Save Energy, not the IEA. Statement 3 accurately describes the EP100's core mission regarding energy efficiency. Statement 4 is correct; major companies like Mahindra & Mahindra and Dalmia Cement are part of this network.
Secretariat Role ▼
Statement 5 is incorrect. The Climate Group itself, not the IEA, acts as the Secretariat to the Under2 Coalition, which is a network of subnational governments.
Conclusion ▼
Statements 1, 3, and 4 are factual.
