How does reforestation contribute to climate change mitigation?

• Reforestation has no impact on climate change or ecosystems.

• Reforestation contributes to climate change mitigation by absorbing carbon dioxide and restoring ecosystems.

• Reforestation increases carbon emissions by promoting deforestation.

• Reforestation primarily focuses on urban development rather than environmental restoration.

What role do energy efficiency measures play in reducing greenhouse gas emissions?

• Energy efficiency measures have no impact on greenhouse gas emissions.

• Energy efficiency measures play a crucial role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions by lowering energy consumption and decreasing reliance on fossil fuels.

• Energy efficiency measures increase energy consumption and promote fossil fuel use.

• Energy efficiency measures are only relevant for reducing water usage.

Explain the concept of carbon offsetting.

• Carbon offsetting involves planting trees without any funding.

• Carbon offsetting is the process of measuring carbon footprints only.

• Carbon offsetting is a method to increase carbon emissions.

• Carbon offsetting is the practice of compensating for carbon emissions by funding projects that reduce or remove an equivalent amount of carbon dioxide.

What is the significance of public transportation in climate change mitigation?

• Public transportation is primarily used for leisure activities.

• Public transportation is significant in climate change mitigation as it reduces greenhouse gas emissions and promotes energy efficiency.

• Public transportation has no impact on energy consumption.

• Public transportation increases traffic congestion and pollution.

How can individuals reduce their carbon footprint at home?

• Ignore recycling guidelines

• Use energy-efficient appliances, switch to renewable energy, reduce water usage, minimize waste, and choose sustainable products.

• Use more plastic products

• Increase energy consumption

What are some benefits of using electric vehicles?

• Increased maintenance costs

• Benefits of using electric vehicles include reduced emissions, lower operating costs, improved energy efficiency, and a quieter driving experience.

• Louder engine noise

• Higher fuel consumption

How does sustainable agriculture help in mitigating climate change?

• Increased use of chemical fertilizers

• Expansion of monoculture farming

• Sustainable agriculture helps mitigate climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, enhancing soil health, and promoting biodiversity.

• Reduction of crop diversity

What international agreement aims to limit global warming and promote climate action?
