13. Is the statement correct? Methods of reducing the carbon footprint include consuming food that doesn't require as much transportation. *

1 bod

Yes.

No.

14. The Sustainable Development Goal 13 aims to: *

1 bod

Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss

Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts

Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable

Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all

9. Identify the mitigation strategies available for the waste sector:

3 body

Improving nitrogen fertilizer

Recycling and minimizing waste

Recovering methane from landfills

Waste incineration with energy recovery

3. What are some of the signs of climate change? *

4 body

Temperatures are rising world-wide due to greenhouse gases trapping more heat in the atmosphere

Droughts are becoming longer and more extreme around the world

Sea levels are rising, threatening coastal communities and estuarine ecosystems

Tropical storms becoming more severe due to warmer ocean water temperatures

Povinné

15. Is the statement correct? Deforestation and burning fossil fuels for electricity and heat production are responsible for rising CO2 emissions. *

1 bod

Yes.

No.

4. What is the risk? *

3 body

Risk is defined as the potential loss of life, injury, or destroyed or damaged assets which could occur to a system, society or a community in a specific period of time, determined probabilistically as a function of hazard, exposure, vulnerability and capacity.

Risk is a function of the hazards to which a community is exposed and the vulnerabilities of that community.

Risk is the combination of the chance of a particular event occurring and the impact that the event would have if it occurred.

Risk is defined as the conditions determined by physical, social, economic and environmental factors or processes which increase the susceptibility of an individual, a community, assets or systems to the impacts of hazards.

1. What is climate change? *

1 bod

Climate change is the averages of precipitation, temperature, humidity, sunshine, wind, and other measures of weather that occur over a long period in a particular place.

Climate change represent the condition of the atmosphere with respect to heat or cold, wetness or dryness, calm or storm, clearness or cloudiness in one area at a particular time.

Climate change represent a change in average weather patterns observed in a given region over a certain period of time.

Climate change refers to the rise in global temperatures due mainly to the increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

2. What is the difference between weather and climate? *

1 bod

Weather refers to short-term changes in the atmosphere, climate describes what the weather is like over a long period of time in a specific area.

Climate is the day-to-day or short term condition of the changes in the atmosphere, and weather is how the atmosphere "behaves" over relatively long periods of time, about 30 years.

5. Disaster risk is magnified by … *

4 body

climate change

poverty

poor urban planning

environmental degradation

Povinné

7. What is the difference between climate change adaptation and climate change mitigation? *

2 body

Mitigation involves reducing the flow of heat-trapping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, and adaptation involves adjusting to actual or expected future climate.

Mitigation involves actions to reduce the vulnerability to climate change and adaptation is defined as the process of adjustment to actual or expected climate and its effects.

Mitigation attends to the causes of climate change, and adaptation assess its impacts.

Mitigation means altering our behavior, systems, and our ways of life to protect our families, our economies, and the environment in which we live from the impacts of climate change, and adaptation means avoiding and reducing emissions of heat-trapping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere to prevent the planet from warming to more extreme temperatures.

Povinné

6. Is the statement correct? Resilience means the ability of a system to recover quickly and easily." *

1 bod

Yes.

No.

10. What is a carbon footprint? *

2 body

Carbon footprint measures the amount of water used to produce each of the goods and services we use.

Carbon footprint represent the total amount of greenhouse gases produced to directly and indirectly support human activities, usually expressed in equivalent tons of carbon dioxide (CO2).

Carbon footprint represent the effect that a person, company, activity, etc. has on the environment, for example the amount of natural resources that they use and the amount of harmful gases that they produce.

Carbon footprint is the amount of greenhouse gases—primarily carbon dioxide—released into the atmosphere by a particular human activity.

Povinné

8. Identify the adaptation (to climate change) actions: *

2 body

Landscape restoration and reforestation.

Carbon tax and emissions markets.

Efficient transport.

Flexible and diverse cultivation to be prepared for natural catastrophes

Povinné

12. Is the statement correct? Individuals and companies can offset some of their CO2 emissions by purchasing carbon credits. *

1 bod

Yes.

No.

11. How can you reduce your carbon footprint? *

4 body

Use alternative energy

Use public transit, walk more or use a bike

Consume less meat or go vegetarian

Buy locally and buy organic

Povinné
