Detailed Solution

Explanation:

In December 2011, the Secretariat launched its "Momentum for Change" initiative to shine a light on activities underway across the globe that are moving the world toward a highly resilient, low-carbon future. In September 2015, the secretariat launched its "Climate Neutral Now" initiative to urge individuals, companies and governments to measure their climate footprint, reduce their greenhouse gas emissions as much as possible, and offset what they cannot reduce using UN-certified emissions reductions.

Therefore, option (3) is the correct answer.
