Test on Chapter 2.3

A 15-question test on chapter 2.3 “Entkopplung von Wirtschaftswachstum und Umweltschäden?” (pp. 36–39) of the book “Wirtschaft verstehen”.

What the test includes
Why decoupling is necessary, relative and absolute decoupling, the empirical evidence (SO₂, CFCs, CO₂, CCS), carbon leakage and rebound effects, Figures 14 and 15 (about 30 countries, a 40% fall in emission intensity, 8–9% versus less than 2%), and the summary box. Book theory only – no math and no German reading text.

The questions are based on the official book “Wirtschaft verstehen”. The scoring structure is exactly the same as in the exam.
