The technological capability required to transform into a green economy is still in the elementary phase.Select one:a. Only II & IIIb. Only Ic. All of the aboved. Only IIe. Only III

Which of the following is NOT a benefit of the Green Revolution?a) Increased agricultural productivityb) Reduced hunger and povertyc) Preservation of traditional farming practicesd) Economic growth in agriculture

QUESTION: Which of the following statements weakens the argument about the urgency of economies in adopting sustainable practices?Select one:a. The impact of sustainable solutions for energy needs would be limited because for it to be effective all the countries need to participate which is not the case.b. Developing countries are dependent on agriculture which would be adversely affected because of climate change.c. The increase in temperature because of climate change would reduce the number of working hours hence productivity will suffer.d. The resource available to us is limited and nature's ability to replenish them is limitede. None of the above

When is the Green Economy taking place?

pic 7: Which one of the five statements below describing circular economies, cradle-to-cradle designs and green business models is wrong/incorrect: Question 1Answer A. ‘Use then throw away’ culture and mind-set is simply not sustainable in the long run. B. Green business models build on and improve value-chain collaborations with suppliers and customers to avoid waste and increase resource efficiencies. C. No finite resources should be used only once, then thrown away. D. Circular economies are only feasible at the micro-level of product design and consumption involving nascent entrepreneurs, suppliers and consumers. E. Aim to develop cradle-to-cradle products and services that are designed from the get-go to be made with reusable materials.

Read the passage carefully and pick the option whose answer best aligns with the passage:In a low-carbon world, renewable energy technologies are hot business. For investors looking to redirect funds, wind turbines and solar panels, among other technologies, seem a straightforward choice. But renewables need to be further scrutinized before being championed as forging a path toward a low-carbon future. Both the direct and indirect impacts of renewable energy must be examined to ensure that a climate-smart future does not intensify social and environmental harm. As renewable energy production requires land, water, and labor, among other inputs, it imposes costs on people and the environment.Hydropower projects, for instance, have led to community dispossession and exclusion . . .Renewable energy supply chains are also intertwined with mining, and their technologies contribute to growing levels of electronic waste . . . Furthermore, although renewable energy can be produced and distributed through small-scale, local systems, such an approach might not generate the high returns on investment needed to attract capital.Although an emerging sector, renewables are enmeshed in long-standing resource extraction through their dependence on minerals and metals . . . Scholars document the negative consequences of mining . . . even for mining operations that commit to socially responsible practices: “many of the world’s largest reservoirs of minerals like cobalt, copper, lithium, and rare earth minerals”—the ones needed for renewable technologies—“are found in fragile states and under communities of marginalized peoples in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.” Since the demand for metals and minerals will increase substantially in a renewable-powered future . . . this intensification could exacerbate the existing consequences of extractive activities.Among the connections between climate change and waste, O’Neill . . . highlights that “devices developed to reduce our carbon footprint, such as lithium batteries for hybrid and electric cars or solar panels, become potentially dangerous electronic waste at the end of their productive life.” The disposal of toxic waste has long perpetuated social injustice through the flows of waste to the Global South and to marginalized communities in the Global North . ..While renewable energy is a more recent addition to financial portfolios, investments in the sector must be considered in light of our understanding of capital accumulation. As agricultural finance reveals, the concentration of control of corporate activity facilitates profit generation. For some climate activists, the promise of renewables rests on their ability not only to reduce emissions but also to provide distributed, democratized access to energy . . .But Burke and Stephens . . . caution that “renewable energy systems offer a possibility but not a certainty for more democratic energy futures.” Small-scale, distributed forms of energy are only highly profitable to institutional investors if control is consolidated somewhere in the financial chain. Renewable energy can be produced at the household or neighborhood level. However, such small-scale, localized production is unlikely to generate high returns for investors. For financial growth to be sustained and expanded by the renewable sector, production and trade in renewable energy technologies will need to be highly concentrated, and large asset management firms will likely drive those developments.Based on the passage, we can infer that the author would be most supportive of which one of the following practices?Please select your Answer.The localized, small-scale development of renewable energy systems.More stringent global policies and regulations to ensure a more just system of toxic waste disposal.Encouragement for the development of more environment-friendly carbon-based fuels.The study of the coexistence of marginalized people with their environments.
