CIPS Updated L3M5 Exam Questions and Answers by aubree

Explanation

The answer is 34%, so around one-third of all energy use on the planet is used for transportation.

(Source: IEA, 2017 quoted by Profex Publishing Ltd)

So, say, a European firm sourcing products from, say, China, uses a large amount of energy just to get goods from manufacturer to market. Or a US retailer buying from a supplier across the country, using road transport, is soaking up a large amount of energy.

I read something yesterday (Feb 2022) which I thought was interesting. Imagine someone drives a modern large 4 x 4 'car'. It might weigh, say, 1,500 kilos. The driver might weigh 100 kilos, say. Most such vehicles on the road have no passengers - they are transporting the driver from A to B. Thus to take something weighing 100 kilos from A to B, sufficient energy to transport (1,500 + 100 kilos) must be used.

Compare this to the same person going from A to B on a bicycle, even an electric bicycle.

Peace, justice and strong institutions.

Industry, innovation and infrastructure.

The UN SDGs are well worth a read, and thinking about. They summarise much of the content of these courses.

'Hydro' means 'water'.

As a child in Scotland, I remember visiting a hydro-electric power station, where a dam had been built across a river, with the dammed water used to generate electric power.

As a slightly older child, I used to routinely watch a BBC2 test television broadcast which was all about the building of the Kariba dam for a similar purpose, with huge environmental and social con-sequences. Many other such dams have been build since, including, for example, the Aswan dam. Often such projects attract criticism because of the effects on the environment as well as on people.

Sustainability fits the bill: the other answers are related, but don't quite nail it.
