Select the correct answer using the code given below:
(a) Only 1 and 2
Talanoa is a traditional word used in Fiji and the Pacific to reflect a process of inclusive, participatory and transparent dialogue. The purpose of Talanoa is to share stories, build empathy and to make wise decisions, which are for the collective good. Blaming others and making critical observations are inconsistent with the building of mutual trust and respect, and is inconsistent with the concept of Talanoa.
Nationally determined contributions (NDCs) are at the heart of the Paris Agreement and the achievement of these long-term goals. Paris Agreement (Article 4, paragraph 2) requires each Party to prepare, communicate and maintain successive nationally determined contributions (NDCs) that it intends to achieve. Parties shall pursue domestic mitigation measures, with the aim of achieving the objectives of such contributions.
