When does a trade-off arise in climate policy?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Achieving one goal negatively affects another social or environmental goal
A trade-off exists when improving one objective creates a cost or loss for another objective. Expanding biofuel crops may lower some fossil-fuel use but compete with food production for land and water. The policy may still be useful, but decision-makers must compare gains, losses and affected groups. Multiple benefits are co-benefits, not trade-offs by themselves, so A is correct.
