Question 1 of 5
1. Question
1 pointsThe ‘Race to Zero’ campaign often seen in news is related to zeroing:
Correct
Explanation:
Race to Zero’ campaign
The campaign aims to codify commitments made via the Climate Ambition Alliance (CAA), which launched ahead of last year’s COP25 in Madrid.
It encourages countries, companies, and other entities to deliver structured net-zero greenhouse-gas emission pledges by the time the talks begin.
This messaging for the campaign — carried out under the aegis of the UNFCCC— seeks to emphasise the potential for non-state actors to raise climate ambition.
The campaign refers to these as ‘real economy actors’, noting they “cover just over half the gross domestic product, a quarter of global CO2 emissions and over 2.6 billion people”.
About the Climate Ambition Alliance
The CAA currently includes 120 nations and several other private players that have committed to achieving zero net greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
Signatories are responsible for 23 per cent of current greenhouse-gas emissions worldwide and 53 per cent of global GDP.Incorrect

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
1 pointsWith reference to Electrolytic splitting of water, which of the following statement are correct?
1. It is the decomposition of water into oxygen and hydrogen gas due to the passage of an electric current
2. This technique can be used to make hydrogen gasSelect the correct answer using the code given below:
Correct
Electrolytic splitting of water
Electrolysis of water is the decomposition of water into oxygen and hydrogen gas due to the passage of an electric current.
This technique can be used to make hydrogen gas, the main component of hydrogen fuel, and breathable oxygen gas, or can mix the two into oxyhydrogen, which is also usable as fuel, though more volatile and dangerous.
It is a promising method to generate hydrogen but requires energy input that can be brought down in the presence of a catalyst.Incorrect

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statement reafrding Climate Ambition Alliance:
1. The CAA will focus on Nationally Determined Contributions in order to achieve Net Zero by 2050.
2. The alliance is led by Chile and was launched at the Climate Action Summit, New York in 2019.Which of the statement given above is/are correct?
Correct
About the Climate Ambition Alliance
Around 73 countries have joined the Climate Ambition Alliance (CAA) at the COP25. The alliance is led by Chile and was launched at the Climate Action Summit, New York in 2019.
Both Chile and UK will work together to mobilize additional actors to join the alliance. They will also work towards COP26 that is to be held in November 2020 at Glasgow, UK.
The CAA will focus on Nationally Determined Contributions in order to achieve Net Zero by 2050. It will focus in resilience in infrastructure, management of water and sustainability of cities. The main purpose of the alliance is to upscale 2020 targets of members of UN and to achieve Net Zero Carbon Emissions by 2050.
The CAA currently includes 120 nations and several other private players that have committed to achieving zero net greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
Signatories are responsible for 23 per cent of current greenhouse-gas emissions worldwide and 53 per cent of global GDP.
What Are the Criteria?
The minimum criteria for establishing a recognized pledge were developed through dialogues coordinated by Oxford University.
The pledges must include a clear net-zero target date no later than 2050, they must also begin immediately and include interim targets.
Much like the Paris Agreement itself, the criteria are designed to strengthen over time, but they begin at a level that reflects current best practices.Incorrect
