"Earth Overshoot Day" (also known as Earth Overshoot or Overshoot Day) is the calculated date in the calendar on which the population's consumption of resources has exceeded the Earth's ability to regenerate them. Since that day, humanity is consuming the resources of future generations. How has the date of "Earth Surge Day" changed in the last 50 years?
In 2017 it was earlier in the year than 50 years ago.
I'm not sure
Fortunately, the consumption of the Earth's global population has not exceeded the availability of resources.

There is nothing to do, nature balances itself out over time and will provide more resources for a larger population.
Increase the size of the world population.
Use available resources more efficiently and develop regenerative economic systems.
The majority of marine debris is plastic, and its production and use will likely continue to grow exponentially for decades to come. What could be the best solution to reduce the impact of plastic in the marine environment?
Raising awareness and promoting the change of habits of the population, or encouraging consumers to recycle persistent materials
Implement policies for the removal/responsible disposal of existing types of plastic, to prevent the entry into the marine ecosystem of materials "without end of life cycle"
Implementing all the above strategies
I'm not sure
Preventing and reducing in design the production and consumption of environmentally persistent types of plastic such as PET
Organized under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the Paris Climate Conference (also known as COP21) resulted in an agreement between nations called the "Paris Agreement." What is the main measure required of all signatory countries of the Paris Agreement to limit the increase in global temperature?
I'm not sure
Every country must prepare for a global temperature rise of 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
Each country must implement a global action plan, centrally defined by the UNFCCC.
Each country must define and implement its own action plan with quantified impacts, called "National Determined Contribution".
Each country must define and implement its own action plan with quantified impacts, called "National Determined Contribution".
In September 2015, heads of state from around the world met in New York to adopt the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, an ambitious "action plan for people, planet and prosperity" whose goal is nothing less than " change our world".

They focus solely on the environment.
The objectives take into consideration the different realities, capacities and levels of national development and respect national policies and priorities.
One of the key principles of the SDGs is that "they are integrated and indivisible and balance the three dimensions of sustainable development: economic, social and environmental." Preamble to the 2030 Agenda Resolution. Which of the following statements best explains this quote?
The 17 SDGs are indivisible since the exhaustive consultation process that led to their signing in September 2015 was comprehensive, and further division on other issues, or sub-issues, would fragment and weaken efforts towards sustainable development.
All 17 SDGs and their 169 targets are equally important. They form an indivisible whole, and they must all be dealt with immediately, in all countries.
Each of the 17 SDGs includes from 5 to 19 goals, resulting in a total of 169. The SDGs are indivisible since all the goals of the same objective must be addressed at the same time, doing justice to the complexity of a specific issue.
I'm not sure
The 17 SDGs are connected by systemic links. They are indivisible as any effort on one SDG must consider the possible impacts on other SDGs, and how it can in turn be impacted by others.
