  4. D.2 only✓ Correct

Explanation

The Marrakech Partnership for Global Climate Action was launched at COP22 in Marrakech in 2016 to support implementation of the Paris Agreement. It is NOT purely intergovernmental — it explicitly catalyses collaboration between Parties (governments) and non-Party stakeholders such as cities, regions, businesses, and investors, so statement 2 is the accurate characterisation and statement 1 (presenting it as only intergovernmental) is incorrect. Statement 3 is incorrect because the Marrakech Partnership is guided by the Paris Agreement and the UNFCCC process, not the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
