Immediate Global Action on Fossil Fuels — 07.06.2026

Task 2 Topic

To what extent do you agree or disagree with this belief?

1Task analysis

Item	Detail
Essay type	Opinion (agree / disagree — to what extent)
Main topic	Whether countries must work together now to make every nation use less oil and gas
Keywords	international community · immediate action · all nations · reduce their consumption · fossil fuels
Task focus	Judge whether urgent, international action is needed so that every country uses less fossil fuel
Required position	Say clearly how far you agree or disagree and keep the same position in every paragraph
Plain-English meaning	Should the world act now, together, to make sure every country uses less oil and gas?
Hidden trap	Three key ideas: international (countries together), immediate (now, not later) and all nations (including poorer countries). Address at least two of them
Chosen stance	Strongly agree. Delay locks in irreversible damage and higher costs, and because emissions are a collective problem, only coordinated action that supports developing nations can succeed
Main-idea plan	BP1 → delay locks in irreversible damage and raises costs; the technology already exists · BP2 → a collective-action problem requires binding cooperation and fair support for developing nations
