Which two digital platforms were launched on World Ozone Day 2026?
- A.Net Zero Portal and NAPCC Dashboard
- B.Green India Portal and Carbon Dashboard
- C.Ozone Cell Portal and Mission LiFE Dashboard
- D.Climate Finance Portal and NDC Dashboard
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Net Zero Portal and the NAPCC Dashboard. Union Minister of State Kirti Vardhan Singh launched both in Mumbai on the occasion of World Ozone Day. The Net Zero Portal is a centralised platform on which Indian entities across sectors can voluntarily register and disclose their net zero commitments, report greenhouse gas emissions and set out pathways covering clean energy, energy efficiency and carbon removals. The NAPCC Dashboard offers a consolidated digital view of implementation across the national missions under the National Action Plan on Climate Change. Options B, C and D name platforms that do not correspond to this launch. Mission LiFE was indeed mentioned in the minister's address as a framework for everyday environmental action, but no dashboard by that name was launched here, which is what makes option C a careful trap.
