Lanati, klima ak anviwonman

Anviwonman an se youn nan sijè ki pi pwobab nan epreuv oral yon egzamen ak nan yon konvèsasyon serye, e li rekonpanse konbinezon presi pi plis pase mo long.

Non de baz

climate · weather · emissions · carbon footprint · fossil fuels · renewable energy · pollution · waste · recycling · biodiversity · deforestation · drought · flooding · habitat · species · landfill · single-use plastic · air quality

Pou yon moun ki pale kreyòl, anpil nan non sa yo transparan (emisyon, biodivèsite, debwazman, klima). Pèlen an se lòt kote : nan vèb ki akonpaye yo.

De mo yo konfonn : climate se tablo alontèm lan, weather se sa k ap pase jodi a. Mo kreyòl tan an kouvri weather ak time, alòske klima rete apa. Climate change ak bad weather se afimasyon ki pa menm lòd, e souvan se diferans sa a tout konvèsasyon an depann de li.

Konbinezon ki konte

Aprann yo an pè : se egzakteman move vèb la ki dekouvri yon moun ki pa pale angle depi li piti :

• reduce emissions · cut emissions (pa decrease down)
• tackle climate change · address the problem
• raise awareness (« sansibilize »)
• conserve energy · save water
• generate electricity
• protect habitats · preserve species
• dispose of waste
• switch to renewables
• offset carbon
• face consequences
• phase out fossil fuels
• impose a ban · introduce a levy
• meet a target · miss a target

Governments need to tackle emissions and raise awareness, not simply offset them.

Sou kòz ak konsekans

• Rising temperatures have led to more frequent flooding.
• Deforestation contributes to biodiversity loss.
• This is largely due to industrial activity.
• The knock-on effect is higher food prices.
• Emissions are driven by transport and heating.

Atansyon ak kozalite : contributes to ak leads to pi an sekirite pase causes lè ou gen dout, e egzaminatè yo remake diferans sa a.

Ki jan pou presi san ou pa envante chif

Yon pwoblèm ki souvan nan egzamen : ou vle sonnen konkrè, men ou pa gen done. Fòmil sa yo pèmèt ou eksprime ak egzaktitid pwòp enprevizyon ou :

• the vast majority of waste · a small proportion of households
• emissions have risen sharply / fallen slightly
• roughly a third of energy comes from renewables
• this has more than doubled since 2010

Adjektif itil

sustainable · renewable · non-renewable · eco-friendly · organic · biodegradable · toxic · endangered · extinct · scarce · carbon-neutral

Sustainable se mo ki pi itilize twòp nan sijè sa a. Li vle di « ki ka kontinye san li pa epwize resous yo », pa senpleman « bon ». Mo kreyòl dirab la ka rann sustainable (devlopman dirab), men durable an angle vle di « solid, ki dire lontan » : pa melanje yo.

De kan, chak ak pwòp vokabilè li

Prèske tout kesyon sou anviwonman se yon dilèm ant altènativ. Si ou gen de kolòn yo pare, sa pèmèt ou diskite nan nenpòt sans :

Agiman an favè aji	Kont-agiman
the cost of inaction is higher	the transition places a burden on households
we have a responsibility to future generations	it puts domestic industry at a disadvantage
renewables are now cost-competitive	the technology isn't yet scalable
public opinion has shifted	it should be a matter of choice, not regulation

Lang yon agiman pèze

While the environmental case is compelling, the transition carries real costs for households.

On balance, the long-term savings outweigh the initial investment.

Se egzakteman sa egzaminatè yo apresye : rekonèt lòt pati a, answit fikse pwòp pozisyon ou.

Se pa sijè a yo evalye, men kapasite pou rezone. Pesonn pa enkyete si ou konnen emisyon yon izin siman. Yo evalye yon lòt bagay : èske ou ka sede sou yon pwen, pèze de bagay youn kont lòt epi rive nan yon konklizyon. Vokabilè ki anwo a se mekanis travay sa a, e fè yo se sèlman matyè ki pase ladan l.

Yon dezakò ki rete koutwa

A: I'd argue the levy is the only thing that's actually cut emissions.

B: Up to a point. It's worked, but it places most of the burden on people who can least afford it.

A: That's fair. Would you rather it were phased in more slowly?

B: On balance, yes — and I'd spend the revenue on insulation.

Yon konsesyon, yon konbinezon jis nan chak replik ak yon pozisyon pran nan fen, pa eskive.
