Which of these is a co-organiser of the World Circular Economy Forum 2026 in India?
- A.United Nations Environment Programme
- B.The Finnish Innovation Fund Sitra
- C.World Economic Forum
- D.International Energy Agency
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Finnish Innovation Fund Sitra. The release lists the organisers as the Central Pollution Control Board, that Finnish fund, the Government of Finland, the Union Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, the Government of Gujarat and the Gujarat Pollution Control Board. Option A is wrong because the United Nations environment body is not named among the organisers, even though the subject falls within its field. Option C is wrong because the forum at Gandhinagar is distinct from the annual meeting of that body. Option D is wrong because the energy agency works on energy markets and security rather than circularity. Remember the Finnish connection through the other detail in the release as well: the Ambassador of Finland spoke of keeping resource consumption below the level of 2015 by the year 2035.
