Explanation

Let's analyze each statement: 1. **"The Climate Group" is an international non-profit organization that drives climate action by building large networks and runs them.** Correct. The Climate Group is indeed an international non-profit focused on accelerating climate action through various initiatives and networks globally. 2. **The International Energy Agency in partnership with the Climate Group launched a global initiative "EP100".** Incorrect. EP100 was launched by The Climate Group itself in partnership with the Alliance to Save Energy. While the International Energy Agency (IEA) is a significant partner in promoting energy efficiency globally and collaborates with various entities, it was not the co-launcher of EP100 with The Climate Group. The Climate Group is the primary driver of the EP100 initiative. 3. **EP100 brings together leading companies committed to driving innovation in energy efficiency and increasing competitiveness while delivering on emission reduction goals.** Correct. EP100 (Energy Productivity 100) is a global initiative that encourages businesses to commit to improving their energy productivity by doubling economic output per unit of energy consumed, leading to both financial benefits and emission reductions. 4. **Some Indian companies are members of EP100.** Correct. Several Indian companies, including Mahindra & Mahindra, Dalmia Cement (Bharat) Limited, and Infosys, have joined the EP100 initiative, committing to significant energy efficiency improvements. 5. **The International Energy Agency is the Secretariat to the "Under2 Coalition".** Incorrect. The "Under2 Coalition" is a global coalition of states, regions, and subnational governments committed to ambitious climate action. It is convened by The Climate Group and RMI (Rocky Mountain Institute), not the International Energy Agency. Therefore, statements 1, 3, and 4 are correct.
