The Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) is a voluntary partnership launched in 2012 by UNEP and a group of countries (Bangladesh, Canada, Ghana, Mexico, Sweden and the USA); it is not a G-20 initiative, so Statement 1 is incorrect. It specifically targets the short-lived climate pollutants methane, black carbon and hydrofluorocarbons, making Statement 2 correct.
