United Nations and Climate Change

What is the main goal of the Paris Agreement?

• Encourage deforestation

• Reduce renewable energy usage

• Limit global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels

• Increase global emissions

Define global warming and its impact on the environment.

• Global warming has no impact on the environment.

• Global warming is a hoax created by scientists.

• Global warming is caused by natural factors only.

• Global warming is the increase in Earth's average surface temperature due to human activities, leading to various environmental impacts.

How can individuals contribute to environmental sustainability in their daily lives?

• Reduce water usage, recycle, use public transportation or carpool, conserve energy, support local and sustainable products, plant trees.

• Waste more water, avoid recycling, drive alone everywhere

• Ignore energy conservation, buy imported products, cut down trees

• Support unsustainable practices, use excessive energy, waste resources

Why is international cooperation important in addressing climate change?

• Each country should address climate change independently without collaboration

• International cooperation is unnecessary in addressing climate change

• International cooperation enables coordinated efforts to combat climate change on a global scale.

• Climate change is a natural phenomenon and cannot be influenced by international efforts

What are some key components of climate action plans?

• Setting emission reduction targets, implementing renewable energy sources, promoting energy efficiency, enhancing public transportation, and investing in sustainable practices.

• Ignoring renewable energy sources

• Encouraging excessive energy consumption

• Reducing public transportation options

Explain the concept of carbon footprint and its significance in climate change.

• Carbon footprint is the measure of water usage in human activities, affecting climate change by altering natural ecosystems.

• Carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases emitted by human activities, contributing to climate change by trapping heat in the atmosphere.

• Carbon footprint is the total number of trees cut down by human activities, impacting climate change by reducing carbon sequestration.

• Carbon footprint is the amount of oxygen consumed by human activities, leading to climate change by reducing air quality.

What are the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) related to climate change?

• Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production

• Goal 13: Climate Action

• Goal 7: Affordable and Clean Energy

• Goal 5: Gender Equality

Discuss the role of multi-governmental organizations in promoting climate action.

• Multinational governmental organizations facilitate international cooperation, set global standards, provide funding and resources, conduct research, and monitor progress to promote climate action.

• Multi-governmental organizations prioritize economic interests over environmental concerns, leading to inaction on climate issues.

• Multi-governmental organizations hinder climate action by creating bureaucratic obstacles and delays.

• Multi-governmental organizations have no impact on climate action and are irrelevant in the discussion.

How does deforestation contribute to climate change?

• Deforestation leads to the growth of new forests that offset carbon emissions

• Deforestation increases the number of trees that can absorb carbon dioxide, reducing greenhouse gas emissions

• Deforestation has no impact on climate change

• Deforestation reduces the number of trees that can absorb carbon dioxide, leading to increased greenhouse gas emissions and global warming.

What are some renewable energy sources that can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions?

• Coal power, Nuclear power, Oil power

• Solar power, wind power, hydropower, geothermal energy
