Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 8.119 Environmental Change and Resource Use in a Global Frame skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

In the Delta Marayaberg near Tanendi, sea-level rise and saltwater intrusion is ruining rice fields. Local leaders want sea walls, national leaders want to relocate some communities, and an international fund offers money only if projects protect nearby wetlands. Arguments grow as people fear losing their homes.

Which plan is most likely to lower conflict and build cooperation across local, national, and international levels?

AA plan that spends all money on one big wall and removes wetlands, even if it increases flooding elsewhere.

BA secret plan made by one ministry with no local input, because secrecy builds trust.

CA phased plan that protects the highest-risk homes first, restores wetlands for natural protection, and uses transparent community meetings to choose relocations and compensation.

DNo plan at all, because waiting will stop sea-level rise.

Solution & Explanation:Conflict drops when decisions are transparent, communities participate, and solutions consider both engineering and ecosystems. Phasing, compensation, and wetland protection align the goals of different groups and funding requirements.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Zanumori plans a huge wind-energy corridor along the Range Delaliria to cut fossil-fuel use. Scientists in neighboring Casuria warn that turbine placement could disrupt a major bird migration route that crosses the border. Activists in both countries demand action.

Which cooperative approach best balances clean energy goals with reducing cross-border environmental tensions?

ABuild quickly and ban scientists from sharing information so the issue disappears.

BCreate a joint environmental review, adjust turbine locations using shared wildlife data, and monitor impacts together after construction.

CIgnore the migration route because renewable energy projects can never cause environmental conflicts.

DCancel all energy projects permanently, even if it increases pollution and future climate risks.

Solution & Explanation:Cooperation works when both sides share data, evaluate impacts, and adapt plans. A joint review and monitoring can protect wildlife while still expanding cleaner energy, reducing tensions.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Keneriberg controls most of the region’s rare-earth minerals. Mining has damaged local rivers, and communities demand cleanup. Zanumberg relies on these imports for electronics and jobs. When Zanumberg threatens trade penalties unless mining becomes cleaner, leaders in Keneriberg claim this is ‘economic bullying.’

Which outcome is most likely if both countries want to avoid conflict and keep trade going?

AThey remove all environmental rules everywhere, which always increases trust between countries.

BThey refuse to talk, and environmental damage automatically stops without any changes.

CThey make cleanup illegal, because pollution reduces disagreement.

DThey negotiate shared standards and verification, so mining becomes cleaner while trade continues.

Solution & Explanation:Both sides have incentives: Zanumberg wants reliable imports and Keneriberg wants sales. A negotiated standard with verification can reduce environmental harm and prevent the dispute from turning into a larger conflict.
