3. What is climate change?
• A significant long-term
change
• In the expected patterns
of average weather
• Abnormal variations
5. Physical evidence of Climate change
• Change will continue through this century and beyond
• Temperatures will continue to rise
• Frost-free season and growing season will lengthen
• Sea level will rise 1-4 feet by 2100
• More droughts and heat waves
• Arctic likely to become ice-free
6. The Causes of Climate Change
Natural causes
• Releasing methane from arctic
area
• Stored methane in water and
ice
• A natural cycle of climate
change
Man made causes
• Population growth
• Uses of CFC
• Carbon dioxide from power plants
• Pollution from vehicles
• Methane from animals,agricultures
• Increasing usage of chemicals on crop
• Deforestation
7. State of climate change
Climate is changing faster..
Primarily the results of human activities
Impacts are being felt across the world
Climate change presents growing challenges to..
The economy and infrastructure
The natural environment
Human health and quality of life
Earth dweller are responding..
To reduce risks and build resilience
Responses are still not sufficient
8. Mitigation strategies to climate change
Many options of mitigating the atmospheric concentration of CO2 by
2050 at approximately 550ppm.
Forests
Agroforestry
Agriculture
these are offering many benefit to the mitigation strategies of climate
change..
9. Adapting to climate change
Adapting measures are a series of policies that reduce the
vulnerability of natural systems,human population and
economics to climate stresses and climate change.this can be
achieved through:
Institutional arrangements
Warning and prevention
Management of droughts
Adaption
