Environment & Ecology MCQs

The target for the first replenishment cycle is to mobilize at least USD 200 billion per year by 2025 to support biodiversity conservation efforts globally.

The '30x30' target, which aims to protect at least 30% of the planet's land and oceans by 2030, is one of the central goals of the GBF that the fund will support.

The Global Biodiversity Framework Fund is managed by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), which is responsible for administering various environmental funds.

The GBFF is established to provide financial support to developing countries to implement national biodiversity strategies and action plans, thereby aiding in conservation efforts.

The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework was adopted in December 2022 at COP15 of the Convention on Biological Diversity.

High capital investment, the energy required for the capture process (energy penalty), and the need for safe and effective CO2 storage are significant challenges for CCUS deployment.

The CCUS plant is a key component of India's strategy to meet its climate goals, including achieving net-zero emissions and reducing the carbon footprint of its industries.

The captured CO2 is intended for utilization in the production of chemicals and building materials, contributing to industrial processes.

The context specifies that the plant is located at a major industrial hub and is designed to capture CO2 emissions from a coal-fired power plant.

CCUS technologies are designed to capture CO2 emissions from industrial sources, preventing them from being released into the atmosphere.
