▪️Expected years of Quality-Adjusted School which combines information on the quantity and quality of education:
▪️quality is measured by harmonizing test scores from major international student achievement testing programs quantity from the number of years of school that a child can expect to obtain by age 18 given the prevailing pattern of enrolment rates across grades in respective countries
▪️Health environment is measured by adult survival rates the rate of stunting for children under age 5.

Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS)
- The programme is a market-based system where the government sets a cap on emissions and allows industries to buy and sell permits to stay below the cap.
- Under the cap and trade system, the regulator first defines the total mass of pollution thatcan be put into the air over a defined period by all factories put together.
- Then, a set of permits is created, each of which allows a certain amount of pollution, and thetotal is equal to the cap.
- These permits are the quantity that is bought and sold. Each factory is allocated a share of thesepermits (this could be equal or based on size or some other rule).
- After this, plants can trade permits with each other, just like any other commodity on the NationalCommodity and Derivatives Exchange Limited (NCDEX).

MESOPHOTIC CORALS
• A Mesophotic coral reef (meso meaning middle and photic meaning light) is characterized by the presence of both light dependent coral and algae, and organisms that can be found in water with low light penetration.
• They normally grow between 30 and 40 metres and up to 150 metres in tropical and subtropical water.
• The most common species at the mesophotic level are corals, sponges and algae.
• The corals ranges can overlap with Deep-water coral but are distinguished by the presence of zooxanthellae and their requirement for light.

Gross Fixed Capital Formation
Gross fixed capital formation (GFCF) refers to the net increase in physical assets (investment minus disposals). It does not account for the consumption (depreciation) of fixed capital.
It is a component of expenditure approach to calculating Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
GFCF is not a measure of total investment, because only the value of net additions to fixed assets is measured, and all kinds of financial assets, as well as stocks of inventories and other operating costs are excluded.

Restoration Opportunities Assessment Methodology (ROAM)
About ROAM
• The Restoration Opportunities Assessment Methodology (ROAM) is a tool produced by IUCN and the World Resources Institute (WRI).
• It provides a flexible and affordable framework for countries to rapidly identify and analyse areas that are primed for forest landscape restoration (FLR) and to identify specific priority areas at a national or sub-national level.
• The tool includes rigorous analysis of spatial, legal and socio-economic data and draws on consultations with key stakeholders to determine the right type of interventions.
• In India, this tool is being piloted in Uttarakhand and Madhya Pradesh. Therefore through ROAM India can design its tree-based programmes better to meet climate goals.
