Global Challenges Exam 3 Connections to terms

The connection_______ and the Paris Agreement lies in the agreement's encouragement of market-based mechanisms to help countries meet their greenhouse gas reduction targets. The Paris Agreement allows nations to use carbon markets and international _____ to reduce emissions more cost-effectively, by buying and selling emissions allowances.

• Development

  
  

• Emissions Trading

  (Cap and Trade system)

  
  

• Ideology as “bad ideas”

  
  

• Multidimensional poverty

  
  

Paris Agreement is closely related to _____, as it seeks to limit global temperature rise by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, thus mitigating the effects of the enhanced ________.

• Brain Gain

  
  

• Radiative forcing

  
  

• Greenhouse effect

  
  

• Brain Drain

  
  

Kyoto Protocol to UNFCCC

The ______ introduced market-based mechanisms, such as Emissions Trading, Joint Implementation, and the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), which allowed countries to meet their targets through international cooperation and investment in emission-reducing projects in developing countries.

• Global governance

  
  

• Kyoto Protocol to UNFCCC

• Dependency theory

  
  

• Resource curse

  
  

The main difference between the ____ and the Kyoto Protocol is that while the Kyoto Protocol set legally binding targets for developed countries alone, the____ involves all countries, including developing nations, in efforts to reduce emissions. 

• Carbon neutral economy

  
  

• The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change

  
  

• Multidimensional poverty

  
  

• Paris Agreement

  
  

global warming potential (GWP), which measures the impact of different greenhouse gases in terms of their contribution to radiative forcing over a specific time period. It also connects to climate sensitivity, which refers to the temperature increase that will result from a given amount of radiative forcing.

This is an example of...

• Development as welfare 

  
  

• Structural adjustment programs

  
  

• Radiative forcing

  
  

• Inclusive institutions

  
  

____ and greenhouse gases are connected because both are central to efforts aimed at addressing climate change, though they target different aspects of the climate system. While greenhouse gases (such as carbon dioxide and methane) trap heat in the atmosphere, contributing to global warming, ____seeks to counteract this warming by reflecting sunlight away from the Earth.

• Structural adjustment programs

  
  

• Solar radiation management

  
  

• 
  Multidimensional poverty

  
  

• Development as wealth

  
  

climate mitigation provides a practical framework for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in order to avoid the worst effects of global warming. Climate mitigation refers to efforts aimed at reducing or preventing the emission of greenhouse gases to limit the extent of climate change.

• Economic remittances

  
  

• Global governance

  
  

• Stabilization wedges

  
  

• Emissions Trading

  (Cap and Trade system)

  
  

Kyoto Protocol, a legally binding agreement negotiated under the UNFCCC in 1997 that set emission reduction targets for industrialized nations.

• Ideology as “bad ideas”

  
  

• UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)

  
  

• Assistance

  
  

• Neoliberalism 

  
  

____ is tied to global governance, as it requires coordinated international action and policy responses to prevent and alleviate its impact.

• Institutions

• Resource curse

  
  

• Famine

  
  

• Green revolution

  
  

_____ connects to sustainable development, as it encourages farming practices that are ecologically sustainable and socially equitable, aiming to protect both the environment and the well-being of local communities.

• Poverty traps

  
  

• The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change

  
  

• Food security

  
  

• Food sovereignty
