Which of the following is NOT a potential consequence of climate change for international cooperation and diplomacy?

  1. Increased competition for resources

  2. Increased migration

  3. Increased trade

  4. Increased conflict


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Climate change is likely to lead to increased competition for resources such as water and land, as well as increased migration and conflict. However, it is not likely to lead to increased trade, as climate change is likely to disrupt global supply chains and make it more difficult for countries to trade with each other.

Which of the following is NOT a potential opportunity for international cooperation and diplomacy in the face of climate change?

  1. Developing new technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions

  2. Sharing information and best practices on climate change adaptation

  3. Establishing new international agreements on climate change

  4. Ignoring climate change and hoping that it will go away


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Ignoring climate change and hoping that it will go away is not a viable option, as climate change is a serious threat to human health and well-being. International cooperation and diplomacy are essential to developing new technologies, sharing information, and establishing new agreements to address climate change.

Which of the following is NOT a key challenge to international cooperation and diplomacy on climate change?

  1. The lack of a global consensus on the science of climate change

  2. The different levels of development and capacity among countries

  3. The political and economic interests of individual countries

  4. The lack of a global government to enforce climate change agreements


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The lack of a global consensus on the science of climate change, the different levels of development and capacity among countries, and the political and economic interests of individual countries are all key challenges to international cooperation and diplomacy on climate change. However, the lack of a global government to enforce climate change agreements is not a key challenge, as there are a number of existing international institutions and mechanisms that can be used to enforce climate change agreements.

  1. Reduced greenhouse gas emissions

  2. Increased resilience to climate change impacts

  3. Improved economic development

  4. Increased conflict and instability


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

International cooperation and diplomacy on climate change can lead to reduced greenhouse gas emissions, increased resilience to climate change impacts, and improved economic development. However, it is unlikely to lead to increased conflict and instability, as climate change is a common threat that countries can work together to address.
