Environmental challenges
Across
- 6. Where common resources are overused because no one power owns them.
- 7. A problem so vast, affecting everyone, that it requires international co-operation.
- 8. Cheap and readily available energy source, part responsible for the increase in greenhouse gas emissions.
Down
- 1. Oceans filling up with waste including plastics and chemicals.
- 2. Proposals to reduce and offset (via treaties like Paris 2015) carbon emissions.
- 3. Increases in global temperature over time, driven (among other things) by greenhouse gasses.
- 4. Resources that do not belong to any one nation (eg, high seas, atmosphere, polar regions, outer space).
- 5. Destruction of plant life and ecosystems, which can affect climate change (trees are carbon sinks).
