Statement I: International Solar Alliance (ISA) was launched on the side-lines of COP24.
- The International Solar Alliance (ISA) was actually launched on November 30, 2015, in Paris, France, on the side-lines of the United Nations Climate Change Conference, also known as COP21.
- The ISA is an alliance of more than 120 countries, most of which are located between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn, with the aim of promoting the use of solar energy and reducing dependence on fossil fuels.
Hence, this statement is incorrect.
Statement II: ISA was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President of France, Emmanuel Macron.
- The International Solar Alliance was jointly launched by the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, and the President of France, François Hollande, on November 30, 2015.
- Emmanuel Macron became the President of France in May 2017, succeeding François Hollande.
- So, the statement is incorrect in terms of the person who launched ISA from France's side.
Hence, this statement is incorrect.
Therefore, both Statement I and Statement II are False.
