Which of the following is not a potential strategy for adapting to the impacts of global warming?

  1. Building sea walls to protect coastal communities from rising sea levels

  2. Developing drought-resistant crops

  3. Improving early warning systems for extreme weather events

  4. Ignoring the impacts of global warming
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Ignoring the impacts of global warming is not a potential strategy for adapting to the impacts of global warming. It is important to take action to adapt to the impacts of global warming in order to reduce the risks and costs associated with climate change.

Multiple choice

How can habitat conservation contribute to climate change mitigation?

  1. By reducing greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation.

  2. By increasing carbon sequestration in forests and other ecosystems.

  3. By providing natural buffers against the impacts of climate change.

  4. All of the above.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Habitat conservation contributes to climate change mitigation by reducing greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation, increasing carbon sequestration in forests and other ecosystems, and providing natural buffers against the impacts of climate change.

Multiple choice
