*take a stand. Adopt a firm position about an issue, as in She was more than willing to take a stand on abortion rights. This idiom alludes to the military sense of stand, “hold one's ground against an enemy.”



California (USA) is one of those places that is hoping to reach 100% clean power in order to significantly reduce the amount of pollution generated when producing power.

Decide if the following sentences about the video are true or false:-

  • The wide range of variables that surround this pledge make it very difficult to estimate its final cost

  • As for the original climate accords, specifically the aim to prevent the 2ºC temperature gain, we have done more than enough to achieve this target
