{'gacsa': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'global alliance': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'climate summit': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'climate': [2, 0, 2, 2], 'smart agriculture': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'obligations': [0, 0, 3, 3]}

The Global Alliance for Climate-Smart Agriculture (GACSA) was actually initiated at the Climate Summit held in New York in 2014, not Paris in 2015 - making statement 1 incorrect. Statement 2 is correct, as membership to GACSA does not create any binding obligations. It is a voluntary, multi-stakeholder platform where partners work towards a common goal. Regarding statement 3, India was not instrumental in the creation of GACSA. Though it supports the objectives and principles of GACSA, it was not one of the key players in establishing the alliance. Therefore, statement 3 is also incorrect. Overall, the correct answer should only include statement 2.
