UNAI Quiz: Goal of the Month – the Environment (SDGs 13, 14 and 15)

We have been exploiting and destroying our planet’s ecosystems for too long. Every three seconds, the world loses enough forest to cover a football pitch. Half of our wetlands have been destroyed over the last century. As much as 50 per cent of our coral reefs have already been lost and up to 90 per cent of coral reefs could be lost by 2050.

The UN Environment Programme (UNEP) finds that a brief dip in carbon dioxide emissions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic will make no significant difference to long-term climate change. The world is still heading for a catastrophic temperature rise in excess of 3°C this century – far beyond the Paris Agreement goals of limiting global warming to well below 2°C and pursuing 1.5°C.

Correct! According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in the United States Department of Commerce, the average land and ocean surface temperature across the globe in 2020 was 0.98°C (1.76°F)?above average —. The world’s seven-warmest years have all occurred since 2014, with 10 of the warmest years occurring since 2005.?

Correct!?The , or COP26, will take place this November in Glasgow, Scotland. The summit will bring parties together to accelerate action towards the goals of the Paris Agreement and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC). The goal of the Paris Agreement is to?limit global warming?to well below 2°C,?preferably to 1.5°C, compared to pre-industrial levels. The UNFCC has the aim of preventing “dangerous” human interference with the climate system.

Correct!?Oceans absorb about 30 per cent?of carbon dioxide produced by humans, buffering the impacts of global warming. Coastal and shallow-water areas contain some of the world’s most diverse and productive ecosystems, including mangroves, coral reefs and seagrass beds.

Correct! The six climate-positive actions are i) delivering new jobs through green transition, ii) achieving green jobs and sustainable growth, iii) shifting from grey to green economy through fiscal firepower, iv) using public funds to invest in the future, v)? incorporating climate risks and opportunities into all aspects of public policymaking and vi) working together as an international community. Although encouraging citizens to buy fewer fossil fuel-based cars may contribute to “building back better”, it is not directly included in the proposal.?

Correct!?An estimated 1.6 billion people, or 25% of the global population, rely on forests for their subsistence needs, livelihoods, employment, and income. Forests provide energy, food security and income while also storing carbon and housing most of the Earth’s terrestrial biodiversity. For centuries, forests have provided socio-economic safety nets for people and communities in times of crises.
