Question 2
Correct
Level of Ambition of the Turkish iNDC
According to the Climate Action Tracker, the Turkish iNDC is rated as critically insufficient  . If other countries would follow
Turkey’s example, the world would be on a pathway towards more than 4°C  of global warming. In order to implement its NDC,
Turkey aims expanding its wind and solar power generation capacity to a combined 26 GW  . If fully implemented, Turkish
greenhouse gas emissions will double  over the 2015-2030 period.
The Climate Action Tracker provides an independent assessment of NDCs and their cumulative global warming effect. An assessment of
the Turkish NDC, existing policy framework, as well as options to increase ambition can be found here:
https://climateactiontracker.org/countries/turkey/
The correct answer is:

Level of Ambition of the Turkish iNDC
According to the Climate Action Tracker, the Turkish iNDC is rated as [critically insufficient]. If other countries would follow Turkey’s
example, the world would be on a pathway towards [more than 4°C ] of global warming. In order to implement its NDC, Turkey aims
expanding its wind and solar power generation capacity to a combined [26 GW]. If fully implemented, Turkish greenhouse gas emissions
will [double] over the 2015-2030 period.
Question 3
Incorrect
The Reporting Approach of the Paris Agreement

Which statements are correct?
Select one:
Developing country Parties can use their own reporting procedures if the international provisions are not in line with their national
priorities.
The Transparency Framework only gathers information on  Not correct. While the focus of the Transparency Framework is on
climate change mitigation. mitigation, it also gathers information on climate change impacts,
adaptation and support.
The Technical Expert Review of the Transparency Framework reviews the ambition level of Parties’ NDCs and the adequacy of
domestic policies.
The Transparency Framework requires all Parties to biennially submit national greenhouse gas inventories and to report on their
progress in implementing their NDC.
Your answer is incorrect.

The Transparency Framework establishes uniform reporting rules for all countries with built-in flexibility for countries with limited
capacities. The review processes established by the Transparency Framework are non-punitive and facilitative in nature, not allowing
political judgments to be made.
The correct answer is: The Transparency Framework requires all Parties to biennially submit national greenhouse gas inventories and to
report on their progress in implementing their NDC.
Question 4
Correct
The reporting provisions of the Transparency Framework
The Transparency Framework establishes different reporting provisions for the Parties to the Paris Agreement in the areas of action and in
the area of support. Drag and drop the missing words to the appropriate location.
National inventory report on greenhouse gas emissions
Information necessary to track progress towards NDCs
Information on climate change impacts and adaptation
Support provided and mobilised
Support needed and received by developing country Parties

The Transparency Framework covers climate action and support. In the area of action, the focus of the Transparency Framework is on
mitigation. Here, all countries are required to report on a mandatory basis. In addition, Parties can submit information on climate change
impacts and adaptation on a non-mandatory basis. In the area of support for developing countries to address climate change and its
impacts, only developed countries are obliged to submit information on support provided, while data on support needed and received by
developing countries is provided on a non-mandatory basis.
Question 5
Incorrect
Targets of SDG 7
Which of these targets are included in SDG 7 to be achieved by 2030?
Select one or more:

Doubling of the share of renewable energy  No, this is not the case. SDG 7 includes the target to increase the
share of renewable energy substantially without defining the
amount of this increase.
Substantial increase in the share of renewable energy  Yes, this is correct, SDG 7 includes the target to
increase the share of renewable energy substantially.
Ensuring the access to energy from renewable sources for all
Doubling the global rate of improvement in energy efficiency
Your answer is incorrect.

To achieve this goal, SDG 7 calls for international cooperation to facilitate access to clean energy research and technology, and improved
investment in energy infrastructure and clean energy technologies. In developing countries infrastructure is to be expanded and
technology upgraded.
The correct answers are: Doubling the global rate of improvement in energy efficiency, Substantial increase in the share of renewable
energy

and policy ambitions need to be aligned with the goal.
Question 7
Correct
Categorisation of SDG Indicators
Progress towards achievement of the 17 SDGs and their 169 associated targets is to be measured at national and global levels against a
global indicator framework with 232 individual indicators. These SDG indicators can be subdivided roughly into five categories: People,
Finance, Governance, Production and Consumption, and Environment. Match the following indicators to these categories:
Unemployment rate People


Proportion of fish stocks within biologically sustainable levels Environment


Legal frameworks are in place to promote, enforce and monitor equality and non-discrimination Governance
on the basis of sex

Passenger and freight volumes, by mode of transport Production and Consumption


Share of global exports Finance



The category “People” includes indicators which measure the number or proportions of people, while indicators in the category “Finance”
measure transfers and payments for various purposes. Indicators which assess the introduction and/or implementation of laws, plans, and
policies are contained in the category “Governance”, those measuring energy and material flows of the global economy in the category
“Production and Consumption”, and indicators which measure natural or physical factors are included in the category “Environment”.
The correct answer is: Unemployment rate → People, Proportion of fish stocks within biologically sustainable levels → Environment, Legal
frameworks are in place to promote, enforce and monitor equality and non-discrimination on the basis of sex → Governance, Passenger
and freight volumes, by mode of transport → Production and Consumption, Share of global exports → Finance
Question 8
Correct
Measuring progress towards SDG achievement
232 individual indicators may be used to measure progress towards achievement of the 17 SDGs and their 169 associated targets
 . Member States are encouraged  to conduct voluntary  national reviews (VNRs) of progress towards
implementation of Agenda 2030. VNRs are compiled in an online platform  to facilitate the sharing of experiences and
lessons learned.

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development encourages member states to conduct regular reviews of progress at the national and
sub-national levels as part of its follow-up and review mechanisms. These voluntary national reviews (VNRs) are expected to serve as a
basis for the regular reviews by the high-level political forum (HLPF), meeting under the auspices of the United Nations Economic and
Social Council. VNRs are to be country-led, country-driven and inclusive.
Measuring progress towards SDG achievement
232 individual indicators may be used to measure progress towards achievement of the 17 SDGs and their 169 associated [targets].
Member States are [encouraged] to conduct [voluntary] national reviews (VNRs) of progress towards implementation of Agenda 2030.
VNRs are [compiled in an online platform] to facilitate the sharing of experiences and lessons learned.
Question 9
Correct
Links between NDCs and SDGs
Which of the following statements is correct?
Select one:
A good NDC addresses all SDGs
NDC activities and SDGs can reinforce each other.  This is correct. The connections demonstrate
opportunities for coordinated and coherent policy-
making.
NDCs report domestic climate targets and highlight activities how to achieve these targets. They are tailored to the national
circumstances and context and focus on respective priority areas related to climate change.
The correct answer is: NDC activities and SDGs can reinforce each other.
Question 10
Correct
Connections between NDCs and SDG 7
SDG 7 connects with the highest  number of NDC activities, approximately  1200 in total, or 16% of the total. At the
level of sub-targets  , more than 50% of NDC activities relate to target 7.2 ( increase  substantially the share of
sustainable energy in the global energy mix), while 34% contribute to target 7.3 ( double  the global rate of improvement in
energy efficiency). In terms of specific climate actions reported in NDCs, solar energy  is the most often highlighted renewable
source of energy.
The connection between NDC activities and SDG7 is evident. In addition to climate change, the SDGs are of course interrelated with (all)
other SDGs which makes the picture even more complex. SDG 7 is, for example, also strongly connected to SDG 9 (industry, innovation
and infrastructure) through industry and infrastructure, and to SDG 12 (Sustainable consumption and production) through a strong focus
on resource efficiency.

The correct answers are: The majority of NDC activities connected to SDG 7 relate to increasing the share of sustainable energy, NDC
activities can have co-benefits and trade offs at the same time.
Question 12
Correct
SDG 11-related issues are present in less than 10%  of NDC activities or 660  activities in total. At least one NDC
activity relates to each of the sub-targets  of this SDG, but the most prominent targets are 11.2 (
accessible and sustainable transport systems  ), 11.5 ( disaster risk management  ) and 11.3 (
integrated urban planning  ).
The connection between NDC activities and SDG 11 shows the potential that co-benefits may enforce climate activities and vice versa and
that activities have to be implemented at all governance levels: As more than 70% of all greenhouse gas emissions are generated by
cities, the connection of NDCs to SDG 11 demonstrate that cities are both important locations for climate mitigation and important
actors.

Most NDC activities related to SDGs are transport measures.
Most prominent NDC activities related to SDG 11 are transport measures.  This is correct. Most SDG 11 related NDC
activities are connected to sub-target 11.2.
Most NDC activities are related to SDG 11.
SDG 11 calls on actions of cities and other settlements and is therefore not affected by NDC preparation and implementation by
governments.
The connection between NDC activities and SDG 11 shows the potential that co-benefits may enforce climate activities and vice versa and
that activities have to be implemented at all governance levels: As more than 70% of all greenhouse gas emissions are generated by

NDCs provide a long-term vision and development pathway towards a more sustainable future.
National NDC planning processes will provide an  This is correct. Every five years, the Paris Agreement requires
opportunity to streamline and to establish coherence of Parties to systematically assess their climate action efforts and
various sectoral climate change policies. formulate or update their NDCs.
The NDC concept will be central for both national and international climate policy. On the one hand, it is a central vehicle to
communicate national climate action to the international realm. While it is not a tool for coordinated target setting, it does stimulate
policy processes at the national level and synchronise them across the globe; it is a tool of coincidental target setting.
At the national level, NDCs and the corresponding planning process provide an important opportunity to systematically assess the
consistency and coherence of different sectoral climate policies and mainstream across all branches of government.
The correct answer is: National NDC planning processes will provide an opportunity to streamline and to establish coherence of various
sectoral climate change policies.
