About Climate Change & Global Warming Impacts

This quiz is meant for students preparing for the IAS examination and other competitive tests, and for anyone who wants a thorough, well-rounded understanding of climate change and its impacts, especially on India. It begins with the fundamental science of climate change -- the greenhouse effect, key greenhouse gases, radiative forcing and the IPCC's role in assessing the evidence. A second pack covers international climate negotiations -- the UNFCCC, the Kyoto Protocol, the Paris Agreement and recent COP meetings. A third pack covers the observed and projected impacts of climate change -- sea level rise, glacial retreat, extreme weather and the disproportionate vulnerability of small island states. A fourth pack covers India's own domestic climate policy -- the National Action Plan on Climate Change and its eight National Missions, and India's net-zero and Panchamrit pledges. A fifth pack covers mitigation, renewable energy and carbon markets -- solar and green hydrogen, carbon pricing and afforestation. It closes with adaptation, climate finance and recent developments -- climate justice, the Global Stocktake and a synthesis tying the whole quiz together. When complete it will have one hundred and twenty carefully checked questions, arranged in six packs of twenty.

Every question has four options, and the correct option can be in any position. After each question there is a detailed explanation of more than five lines, in simple Indian English that a school student can follow, giving the important names, figures and the points that examiners like to test.

Every fact has been checked against standard reference material on climate change science, international negotiations and India's climate policy framework, current as of this quiz's preparation.
