UNFCCC.
United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
I guess, having re-visited this QUESTION NO : in 2022, originally written in 2020, the 'CC' at the end of the possible answers, reduces the risk of people selecting a wrong answer.
Doesn't work for 'MCC' though as that stands for 'Marylebone Cricket Club' which was founded in 1787, and is 'the guardian of the laws of cricket'. (Source: MCC)

I'm a bit unsure on this one. I'll have to review my notes and see if I can recall the IPCC's estimates for sea level rise by 2099.

I'm pretty confident the answer is C - one metre. That sounds about right based on what I've learned in class.
