What do mitigation strategies aim to do?

• Reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

• Remove extra greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.

• Help people survive and thrive in a warmer climate.

Which one of these is a mitigation strategies?

• Vegetarianism

• Modified crops

• Coastal defences

How does renewable energy mitigate climate change?

• Less extra carbon dioxide is emitted, so the greenhouse effect is less enhanced.

• Less extra mthane is emitted, so the greenhouse effect is less enhanced

• More carbon dioxide is absorbed, so the greenhouse effect is less enhanced.

How does afforestation mitigate climate change?

• Less extra carbon dioxide is emitted, so the greenhouse effect is less enhanced.

• Less extra mthane is emitted, so the greenhouse effect is less enhanced

• More carbon dioxide is absorbed, so the greenhouse effect is less enhanced.

What do adaptation strategies aim to do?

• Reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

• Remove extra greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.

• Help people survive and thrive in a warmer climate.

Which two of these are adaptation strategies?

• Coastal defences

• Renewable energy

• Vegetarianism

• Modified crops

How do coastal defences help people adapt to climate change?

• Increase the risk of land being submerged.

• Decrease the risk of land being submerged.

• Allow crops to be grown in a warmer climate.

• Decrease carbon dioxide emissions, so the greenhouse effect is less enhanced.

Adaptation strategies can be very expensive, so they have mostly been used by HICs.

• True

• False

HICs have emitted the most greenhouse gases in the past, but MICs are emitting the most greenhouse gases in the present.

• True

• False

LICs are least affected by global warming in the present and future.

• True

• False
