What is the largest source of CO2 emissions today?

Oil

Land use

Natural gas

Coal

How can I apply sustainable behaviour to achieve the targets of SDG 13 to achieve the goals of climate action with humanity?

Reduce energy use by switching to more energy-efficient appliances whenever possible and paying attention to turning off utilities and appliances when not in use.

Buy locally sourced goods whenever possible, to reduce your consumption footprint.

Adopt eco-friendly practices in my home and at work.

All actions are necessary.

Educate yourself about the impact of my activities on the climate, including phenomena such as global warming.

What happens to the global average temperature if we only halve our annual net CO2 emissions now?

Unchanged

Reduce

Increase

What is the greenhouse effect?

The greenhouse effect is another term for climate change.

A process in which different gases (CO2; NH4; NO) absorbs and retains the heat emitted from the sun.

A process in which different gases (CO2; NH4; NO) absorbs and retains heat emitted from the earth's surface.

A process in which the temperature of the sun is constantly rising, causing global warming on the earth.

Which of the following is not an example of emissions mitigation?

Use energy-efficient appliances (such as air conditioners and refrigerators).

Build a storm early warning system.

Sustainably manage forests that act as carbon sinks and avoid deforestation

Increase the use of renewable energy such as solar and wind power, and reduce dependence on fossil fuels such as diesel and coal.

What is carbon tax?

A method by which companies trade their emission levels.

A method by which an individual or company generates greenhouse gas emissions must pay their customers for the amount of emissions.

A method by which the government collects money from an individual or company for producing greenhouse gas emissions.

A method by which individuals or companies donate money to scientists for the greenhouse gas emissions for which they are responsible.

What is IPCC?

The UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) is an international environmental treaty negotiated at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED).

An agreement under the UNFCCC to limit human-caused global warming to less than 2 degrees Celsius.

A scientific panel under the UNFCCC helped develop the framework for the 2030 Agenda.

An organization established under the UNFCCC with the aim of achieving SDG #13: Climate Action.

An international panel of scientists under the UNFCCC has the role of evaluating scientific information related to potential human interaction with the climate.

Read the description below and indicate which of the following is 'not' correct?

SDG 13 addresses measures to combat climate change and its impacts, including education and awareness-raising, developing strategies to protect the climate, and enhancing resilience and adaptability to climate-related hazards and natural disasters.

Necessary measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions must include the transition from fossil to renewable energy, improved energy efficiency, and the development of carbon sequestration technologies.

The European Union has decreed that every second public building must be equipped with a solar system by 2030.

To prevent global warming from rising by more than 2 degrees, each person on earth should only produce a certain maximum amount of CO2 per year. There are many opportunities to reduce your personal CO2 emissions, for example by getting electricity from renewable sources, eating less meat, cycling and trains instead of cars, etc.

In May 2019, the EU issued a ban on single-use plastic products. Stricter rules have been set for the ten items and packaging that pollute Europe's beaches the most. The new regulations will ban the use of some single-use plastic products where alternatives exist.
