There are 25 marks on the Living World. 6 marks and 9 marks (or I think 9 + 3 marks for spag) were on cold environments as I remember. This leaves behind 10 marks or even 7 marks, so I can't remember exactly but that would be likely.

Paper 2 is so difficult to revise, because there's too much content :frown:

This is UNBELIEVABLY vague, but if you are talking about traffic congestion as an environmental issue in a LIC/NEE, then yes you do need to know this. For example, I have learnt about Rio with this - this is a case study. This did come up last year though, so it is extremely unlikely to come up this year anyway.

However, if you are talking about "How urban transport strategies are used to reduce traffic congestion", I don't think you need a case study for this technically, but it would be good to know one - I learnt Freiburg for this. Both of these are in Section A of human geography.

The spec requires to understand "how urban transport strategies are used to reduce traffic congestion."
I think it would be ok if u learn a mini, mini case study (like managing traffic in Beijing):

Beijing has around 5 million cars. Congestion is predicted to get worse as the number of cars continues to grow.
Strategies:
a) Only 20% who apply are allowed to own a car.
b) Increased parking fees
c) Congestion charge and pollution tax
d) Expansion of the public transport system (30 new metro lines by 2020)
e) Cars banned once a week (based on the registration number)
f) Non-residents are not allowed to bring a car.

Success:
i. 12% drop in the use of car parks and 20% drop in car use.
ii. However, building and widening of roads have resulted in increased car use.

Now using this knowledge:
describe a strategy that can be used to manage traffic congestions (3)
INCREASE PARKING FEES AND EXPLAIN HOW THIS COULD HELP. IF YOU HAVE TIME, THEN MENTION THAT THIS STRATEGY IS IN PLACE IN BEIJING, CHINA AND HAS RESULTED IN 12% DROP IN THE USE OF CAR PARKS.

Good luck.

A good way to revise is to have a copy of the spec and make a document on each key point.

revision.docx:
Challenges in the Human Environment

Unit 1 - Urban Issues and Challenges
KEY IDEA (Urban change in cities in the UK leads to a variety of social, economic and environmental opportunities and challenges.)
SPECIFICATION CONTENT (the location and importance of the city in the UK and the wider world)
NOTES***************************

SPECIFICATION CONTENT2 (**********************************_

Use cool geography/ textbooks to make a document.
This way u can be sure that u have covered every corner of the spec room and no need to carry thousands of books/ notes/ revision documents because everything is going to be in ONE DOCUMENT.

You still have time to try this. Good luck!

To summarise: there are two places where it's referenced both in Section A, but both came up last year anyway.
