Question

Consider the following statements:
Statement 1: The United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) and the Arbor Day Foundation have recently recognized Hyderabad as 2020 Tree City of the World.
Statement 2: Hyderabad was selected for the recognition for a year following its commitment to grow and maintain the urban forests.
Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?

Accepted Answer

Statement 1 is incorrect. Hyderabad was recognized as a '2020 Tree City of the World' by the Arbor Day Foundation jointly with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations — not by the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF), which is a separate UN body focused on public and private finance for the Least Developed Countries and has no role in urban forestry.

Statement 2 is correct. Recognition under the Tree Cities of the World programme is granted for one year at a time and must be renewed annually. Hyderabad was the only Indian city chosen in the 2020 cycle on the basis of its commitment to growing and maintaining urban tree cover.

Since Statement 1 is incorrect and Statement 2 is correct, the answer is D.
