Ecology & Environment – General Studies

Biorock Technology is employed for the conservation of coral reefs by creating underwater structures resembling rocks. 

The Great Barrier Reef (GBR) stands as the largest coral reef system globally, encompassing more than 2,900 individual reefs and 900 islands, covering approximately 344,400 square kilometers. 

Coral reefs are vibrant ecosystems teeming with life and color, found in the warm, shallow waters of tropical oceans worldwide

Climate migrants are a burgeoning population at the forefront of one of the most pressing global challenges of the 21st century:

Any entity that takes in more carbon from the atmosphere than it releases is identified as a carbon sink. 

Carbon sink and carbon sequestration are integral components in the global carbon cycle, playing a crucial role in mitigating the impacts of climate change.

CCS is a systematic approach aimed at lessening the release of carbon dioxide (CO2) produced during industrial processes and the combustion of fossil fuels

Changes in Climate Mitigation involve actions taken to reduce or prevent the emissions of greenhouse gases. 

Additionally, the Environmental Performance Index (EPI) provides a comprehensive assessment of countries’ environmental policies and outcomes, including their management of air quality

Climate sensitivity is usually described as the increase in global temperature when the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere doubles from pre-industrial levels.
