L1- Urban Nature-based Solutions

What percentage of global CO2 emissions and natural resource consumption are urban areas responsible for?

• 75% of global CO2 emissions and 70% of the world's natural resource consumption.

• 70% of global CO2 emissions and 75% of the world's natural resource consumption.

• 90% of global CO2 emissions and 75% of the world's natural resource consumption.

• 60% of global CO2 emissions and 85% of the world's natural resource consumption.

Which of the following best describes the meaning of climate change and biodiversity?

• Climate change refers to the variations in weather patterns over short periods, while biodiversity refers to the number of species in a specific region.

• Climate change is the process of plants adapting to different climates, while biodiversity refers to the migration patterns of animals.

• Climate change involves long-term changes in temperature and weather patterns caused by human activities, while biodiversity refers to the variety and variability of life forms on Earth and their ecosystems.

• Climate change is about the changes in the seasons, and biodiversity is about the color variations in plant species.

Which best defines an urban nature-based solution (UNbS)?

• A strategy that uses green infrastructure and natural processes to address urban challenges and improve quality of life.

• A technological solution that involves high-energy consumption to manage urban environments.

• A method of constructing buildings with minimal windows to reduce energy use.

• A policy focused solely on reducing traffic congestion through urban design.

Which of the following are advantages of implementing urban nature-based solutions (UNbS)?

• They primarily focus on reducing building costs without considering environmental impacts.

• They only address traffic congestion and urban heat islands, with minimal benefits for biodiversity or disaster protection.

• They mainly enhance aesthetic appeal without providing functional benefits to the environment or people.

• They increase biodiversity, protect from natural disasters, and improve both the environment and human well-being.

What is a primary goal of the Green Corridor project in urban areas?

• To increase the number of commercial buildings along major roads

• To build additional parking spaces and reduce vehicle emissions

• To create continuous green spaces that connect different urban parks and natural areas, enhancing biodiversity and improving urban resilience

• To develop high-rise residential complexes along green spaces
