How confident are experts that the climate is presently changing - Answer✔It is beyond doubt
that the climate is warming
How confident are experts that human activities are primarily responsible for the recent
warming - Answer✔It is extremely likely (95% confidence) that humans are responsible
How much has the climate warmed since the 19th century - Answer✔1 degree C
How much warming is predicted for the twenty-first century - Answer✔3 degree C
Name the greenhouse gasses - Answer✔CO2 CH4 H2O
If climate policy reduces both greenhouse gases and aerosols in our atmosphere what happens
to the temperature of the climate system - Answer✔A reduction in greenhouse gases tends to
cool the climate, while a reduction in aerosols tends to warm it, so the final effect will be the
difference of these offsetting terms.
The Paris Agreement states that the world should work to hold the increase in global average
temperature to what degree - Answer✔Well below 2 degree C above pre-industrial levels while
pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 degree C above pre-industrial levels
Keeping warming below the 1.5 thresholds will require - Answer✔Reducing emissions rapidly,
beginning today and negative emissions
One way to geoengineer a cooler climate is to - Answer✔add sulfur to the stratosphere
An example of mitigation is - Answer✔Phasing out coal power
An example of adaptation is - Answer✔Building a seawall to protect from sea level rise
What is an example of solar radiation management - Answer✔adding sulfur to the stratosphere
What is an example of carbon dioxide removal - Answer✔BECSS- bioenergy with carbon
capture and sequestration. Plants are grown removing carbon from the atmosphere. Plants are

burned to produce power. CO2 produced is sequestered using CCS tech (direct air capture from
a plant).
How is sustainability defined - Answer✔Meeting current needs without overburdening the
natural environment or future generations
How do sustainability and ESG fit together - Answer✔Sustainability is the broadest concept,
encompassing public and private action; ESG is typically used by the private sector to measure
companies and screen investments
What are the SDGs - Answer✔A set of goals developed and agreed to by the UN and its
member countries to chape global policy and private sector action
What are nature-based solutions and how can they address climate change - Answer✔Nature-
based solutions protect, manage, or restore ecosystems while also addressing societal
challenges. Vegetation naturally absorbs carbon dioxide so restoring and replanting forests can
help remove carbon from the atmosphere.
What role have private sector coalitions played for sustainability - Answer✔Coalitions have
helped encourage and spread best practices on sustainability. Coalitions serve as research and
knowledge hubs. Coalitions can act as collective actors, pressuring companies to change their
practices or policymakers to tighten regulations.
What are the two main types of climate risk - Answer✔Physical and transition risks
What is a stranded asset - Answer✔An asset that has been prematurely written down,
devalued, or converted to liabilities as a result of climate risk
What are some factors beyond policy change that can cause climate transition risks. -
Answer✔Tech changes, Reputational risk, pressure from consumers, Litigation and legal liability
What are the two subtypes of physical climate risk - Answer✔Acute and chronic
What hazards beyond sea level risk can cause physical risk - Answer✔Sea level rise, Hurricanes,
Droughts, Temperature rise
What does TCFD stand for - Answer✔Taskforce on climate-related financial disclosures
What four key parameters does the TCFD recommend firms disclose - Answer✔Governance,
risk management, strategy, metrics
What was the first international legally binding climate accord to agree on specific emissions
reductions - Answer✔The Kyoto Protocol
