1
00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:08.759
Calorogus Shark Media. Hi, I'm Mark Ellison. In Today's theme
2
00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:12.519
is World Environment Day, Nature, conservation and protecting our Planet.
3
00:00:12.919 --> 00:00:16.519
Question one. World Environment Day is the United Nations flagship
4
00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:20.039
day for encouraging environmental awareness and action around the globe,
5
00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:23.239
which UN program coordinates and sets the annual theme for
6
00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:31.879
World Environment Day each year. Question two. You'll often hear
7
00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:36.159
conservationists talk about the thirty by thirty goal in simple terms?
8
00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:38.560
What does this target commit the world to achieve by
9
00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:47.439
the year twenty thirty? Question three? Covering only about three
10
00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:50.560
percent of Earth's land but storing roughly one third of
11
00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:54.200
the world's soil carbon, which carbon rich ecosystems are climate
12
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:57.479
powerhouses that can release vast emissions if drained or burned.
13
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:07.280
Question four. A landmark environmental success story, the nineteen eighty
14
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:11.000
seven Montreal Protocol targeted a category of chemicals used in
15
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:15.319
aerosol sprays and refrigeration that were destroying the ozone layer.
16
00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:25.079
What are these chemicals called? Question five? In a pioneering
17
00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:28.120
legal step for conservation, which country in two thousand and
18
00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:30.760
eight became the first to enshrine the rights of nature
19
00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:40.200
referred to as pacha mama in its National Constitution. We'll
20
00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:46.239
be right back with these answers after this break. Welcome back.
21
00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:51.640
Question one. Which UN program coordinates World Environment Day? Answer?
22
00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:57.079
United Nations Environment Program UNEP. UNP has led World Environment
23
00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:00.000
Day since it was established following the nineteen seventy two
24
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:03.799
U Stockholm Conference, with the first celebration held in nineteen
25
00:02:03.879 --> 00:02:07.519
seventy four. Each year, UNIP selects a host and theme
26
00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:12.319
to mobilize worldwide participation and policy attention. Question two. What
27
00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:14.919
does the thirty x thirty to target aim to do
28
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:18.520
by twenty thirty? Answer? Protect at least thirty percent of
29
00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:21.759
the planet's land and oceans. The thirty by thirty target,
30
00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:26.280
enshrined in the twenty twenty two Kunming Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework,
31
00:02:26.599 --> 00:02:31.159
aims to safeguard biodiversity and ecosystem services by expanding well managed,
32
00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:36.120
protected and conserved areas across terrestrial and marine realms. Question three.
33
00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:39.680
Which ecosystems cover tilda three percent of land yet hold
34
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:44.479
about a third of soil carbon Answer peatlands. Peatlands accumulate
35
00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:49.280
partially decomposed plant material over millennia, locking away immense amounts
36
00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:52.840
of carbon. When disturbed, they can emit carbon dioxide and
37
00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:57.759
methane when conserved and rewetted, they are major natural climate solutions.
38
00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:01.680
Question four, which chemicals did the nineteen eighty seven Montreal
39
00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:07.520
Protocol phase out? Answer chlorofluorocarbon CFCs. Phasing out CFC's has
40
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:10.800
allowed the ozone layer to begin recovering and also avoided
41
00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:15.680
significant warming. Because CFCs are potent greenhouse gases. The protocol
42
00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:18.080
is often cited as one of the most successful global
43
00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:23.400
environmental agreements. Question five Which country first granted constitutional rights
44
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:27.680
to nature in two thousand and eight? Answer Ecuador. Ecuador's
45
00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:32.520
constitution recognizes nature's right to exist and regenerate, inspiring similar
46
00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:36.360
legal movements worldwide. Courts there have since cited these rights
47
00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:40.360
in cases involving rivers, forests, and wildlife protection. That concludes
