(c) Both 1 and 2
Carbon farming is a set of agricultural practices that aim to store carbon in the soil, plant material, wood, and leaves. The goal of carbon farming is to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which can help mitigate climate change.
Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) is the world’s first and North America’s only voluntary, legally binding greenhouse gas reduction and trading program for emission sources and offset projects in North America and Brazil.
‘4 per 1000′ Initiative: Launched during the COP21 climate talks in Paris, this initiative emphasizes carbon sinks’ role, including those from carbon farming, in mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. It advocates wise management of the global carbon budget.

(c) Invasive Species
An invasive species is an organism that is not indigenous, or native, to a particular area. Invasive species can cause great economic and environmental harm to the new area.
Alternanthera philoxeroides, Cassia uniflora, Chromolaena odorata, Eichhornia crassipes, Lantana camara, Parthenium hysterophorus, Prosopis juliflora, River tamarind etc.

(c) All three statements are correct
Gotipua: It is a traditional dance form in the state of Odisha, India, and the precursor of Odissi classical dance. It has been performed in Orissa for centuries by young boys, who dress as women to praise Jagannath and Krishna. It is popularly known as Bandha Nritya.
The dance is executed by a group of boys who perform acrobatic figures inspired by the life of Radha and Krishna.
The boys begin to learn the dance at an early age until adolescence when their androgynous appearance changes. In the Odia language, Gotipua means “single boy”. Raghurajpur, Odisha (near Puri) is a historic village known for its Gotipua dance troupes. The dance of the Gotipuas is accompanied by traditional Odissi music with the primary percussion being the Mardala(Percussive Instrument).

(a) World Bank
The World Bank (International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, IBRD) has issued the Wildlife Conservation Bond (WCB) to support of South Africa’s efforts to conserve endangered species of Black Rhino. Wildlife Conservation Bond (WCB) is also known as “Rhino Bond”. It is a five-year $150 million Sustainable Development Bond. It includes a potential performance payment from the Global Environment Facility (GEF).
The bond will contribute to protecting and increasing black rhino populations in two protected areas in South Africa namely the Addo Elephant National Park (AENP) and the Great Fish River Nature Reserve (GFRNR).

(c) A technique for urban afforestation.
The Miyawaki method is a technique for urban afforestation that involves planting trees in small spaces. The method was developed in the 1970s by Japanese botanist Akira Miyawaki. The method’s goal is to increase the density of green cover in a small area.
The Miyawaki method involves:
Planting close together: Plants are seeded closely together to save space and promote dense growth. The close planting also allows young trees to protect each other and block sunlight from reaching the forest floor.
Planting native trees: The method involves identifying and planting native trees in the area.
Improving the soil: The soil is improved by covering it with mulch, which helps prevent dryness, erosion, and weed growth.
Planting multiple types of trees: The method involves planting two to four different types of indigenous trees within every square meter.
