UPSC Essentials daily subject quiz : Environment and Geography MCQs on UN Declaration on Sea Level Rise, Green Energy Corridor (Week 182)
Statement 1 of the question is correct as the UN Declaration on Sea Level Rise addresses the loss of territory faced by low-lying countries vulnerable to rising sea levels and coastal erosion. Statement 2 is not correct because it is not the first-ever UN Declaration on Sea Level Rise. Statement 3 is also incorrect as the declaration mentions a "presumption in favour of continued statehood" for affected countries, but it does not specifically mention Ghoramara Island in the Sundarbans. Therefore, the correct answer is (a) Only one.
