What is the enhanced greenhouse effect?
The trapping of more heat in the atmosphere due to increased greenhouse gases from human activities.
100
What is sea level rise caused by?
Thermal expansion of water and melting of land-based ice sheets and glaciers
100
Name two factors which makes a population more vulnerable to climate change?
Poverty, poor infrastructure, dependence on agriculture, and lack of education
(Need to expand on how for points)
100
What is mitigation?
Action taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and slow climate change
100
Name one low-lying country vulnerable to climate change?
Tuvalu, the Maldives, or Bangladesh
100
Where in 1992 was the first Earth Summit- focused on climate change held?
Rio De Janeiro (Brazil)
200
Name two human activities increasing GHGs ?
Burning fossil fuels (e.g., coal for energy) and deforestation
200
Name one impact of climate change on the Arctic ?
Melting sea ice, loss of biodiversity (e.g. polar bears), or disruption of Indigenous ways of life
200
What is adaptive capacity?
The ability of a population or system to adjust, cope, or recover from the impacts of climate change
200
What is the difference between mitigation and adaptation?
Mitigation reduces causes (e.g. emissions), while adaptation deals with the effects (e.g. flood defences)
200
Name two adaptation strategies the Netherlands has used?
Flood barriers, dikes, floating houses, and land reclamation systems
200
In what Year was the Kyoto Protocol Signed?
1997
300
What gas is released from livestock and rice farming?
Methane (CH₄)
300
Explain how climate change affects food security?
Altering rainfall patterns and increasing droughts or floods, which reduce crop yields
300
What is this called?
Disaster Management Cycle
300
Give one example of geoengineering ?
Solar radiation management or carbon dioxide removal techniques
300
Describe how Bangladesh is addressing climate-related flooding?
Building raised shelters, improving drainage, early warning systems, and community adaptation projects
300
In what Year was the Paris Agreement signed?
2015
400
What is a positive feedback loop in climate systems?
A process where an initial climate change causes effects that further enhance the change, like melting ice reducing albedo and increasing warming
400
How can climate change increase migration?
Displacing people from areas affected by sea level rise, drought, or extreme weather events
400
The Sahel is a region in Africa which is vulnerable to climate change, Name 4 countries in the Sahel?
1-Senegal 2-Mauritania 3-Mali 4-Burkina Faso 5-Niger 6-Nigeria (northern part) 7-Chad 8-Sudan 9-Eritrea
400
Name 2 specific ways can cities build climate resilience?
By using green infrastructure, improving drainage systems, and creating emergency plans
400
Describe two causes of flooding in Busan?
Intense rainfall due to climate change, urbanisation reducing infiltration, or blocked drainage systems, Steep slopes, New river management systems which failed
400
What 3 word phrase did Donald Trump use to explain his attitude towards future Oil development in his opening speech as President? 
"Drill Baby Drill"
500
Explain the role of albedo in the climate system?
The measure of surface reflectivity — ice has a high albedo and reflects sunlight; when it melts, darker surfaces absorb more heat, increasing warming
500
How does climate change affect global precipitation patterns?
By intensifying the water cycle — some regions become wetter with more storms, while others face prolonged droughts
500
Explain how initiatives by NGOs or private companies can reduce exposure or improve adaptive capacity, using one real-world example ?
Public-private or NGO-corporate partnership, such as the reforestation projects led by NGOs and companies in the Sahel (Great Green Wall) or flood-resilient infrastructure funded by private firms in Bangladesh
500
What does CCS stand for?
Carbon Capture and Sequestration
500
In what month in 2020 were three people killed from flooding in Busan?
July 2020
500
Name a company - corporation and outline how it is combatting climate change?
