Multiple-choice questions

For each question, select the letter (A, B, C, or D) that corresponds to the correct answer. Note that only one answer is correct among the four options.

1 .  What is the primary purpose of strategic and technical planning for climate change adaptation?

A.  To accelerate the pace of global temperature rise.
B.   To minimise the importance of adaptation in national policies.
C.  To identify and implement measures to address the impacts of climate change.
D.  To prioritise mitigation actions over adaptation actions.

2.   Which of the following steps is NOT part of the strategic and technical planning process for climate change adaptation?

A.  Identifying available information on climate change impacts.
B.  Evaluating historical greenhouse gas emissions.
C.  Assessing development needs and climate vulnerabilities.
D.  Launching awareness campaigns about climate change.

3.   What is the primary goal of climate change mitigation?

A.   To increase the rate of global temperature rise.
B.   To adapt to the impacts of climate change.
C.   To reduce the release of greenhouse gas emissions.
D.   To accelerate deforestation for economic development.

4.   What does “climate benefits” refer to in the context of climate change mitigation planning?

A.   Economic gains resulting from mitigation actions.
B.   Social equality achieved through emission reduction.
C.   Reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and improved sequestration.
D.   Ecosystem benefits exclusively focused on biodiversity conservation.

5.   What is the role of an integrated climate change mitigation strategy?

A.   To focus exclusively on one sector’s emissions reduction.
B.   To combine strategies to shift towards low-emission development.
C.   To increase the complexity of mitigation planning.
D.   To prioritise adaptation actions over mitigation.

6.   How can integrating adaptation and mitigation at the policy level contribute to addressing climate change?

A.   By focusing solely on mitigation actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
B.   By promoting competition between sectors for climate funding.
C.   By isolating adaptation and mitigation actions to specific sectors.
D.   By seeking mutually supportive outcomes and avoiding negative trade-offs.

7.    What is the main objective of integrating climate change adaptation and mitigation in sectoral policies?

A.   To prioritise adaptation over mitigation for immediate results.
B.   To create conflict between climate goals and sectoral objectives.
C.   To maximise trade-offs between climate change and other goals.
D.   To achieve co-benefits and minimise conflicts between climate and sectoral objectives.

8.   What is the primary purpose of integrating climate change adaptation and mitigation into national development plans?

A.   To prioritise mitigation actions over adaptation actions.
B.   To align with international climate agreements exclusively.
C.   To minimise the need for cross-sectoral co-ordination.
D.   To ensure coherence between climate goals and broader development objectives.

9.   Which approach involves considering potential trade-offs and co-benefits between adaptation and mitigation actions?

A.   Sectoral isolation
B.   Integrated planning
C.   Stand-alone planning
D.   Exclusive focus

10.   What is the purpose of applying a “climate lens” to policy formulation?

A.   To reject policies those are not directly related to climate change.
B.   To create policies exclusively focused on mitigation.
C.   To evaluate how climate change risks and opportunities affect policy outcomes.
D.   To streamline policies for faster implementation.
