Long-Term Low Emissions Development Strategy envisions: 1. A transition from fossil fuels in a just, smooth, sustainable manner. 2. Increased use of bio-fuels. 3. Climate resistant urban development. 4. Financing of sustainable development through Green Bonds. Select the answer using the code given below:

India's Long-Term Low Emissions Development Strategy (LT-LEDS), submitted under the Paris Agreement, focuses on several strategic pillars. It emphasizes a transition from fossil fuels in a just, smooth, and sustainable manner, ensuring energy security while shifting to cleaner sources. The strategy explicitly includes the increased use of biofuels, particularly through the ethanol blending program and the promotion of the Global Biofuels Alliance. Furthermore, it envisions climate-resilient urban development through smart city initiatives, integrated planning, and mainstreaming adaptation into urban infrastructure [2]. While Green Bonds are a significant tool for climate finance in India, the core LT-LEDS document focuses on sectoral transitions and adaptation strategies rather than being defined by a specific financing instrument like Green Bonds alone. Therefore, statements 1, 2, and 3 are the primary components of the vision.
