5. Climate Change
“Long term change in statically distributed
weather ,which is considered from a long time.”

6. Causes of climate change..
Tilting of earth Continental
drift
Volcanism
Environmental crisis Greenhouse effect Ozone depletion

7. How do we contribute ?
•Use of fossil fuels like coal, petrol, etc
•Cutting down trees to meet our demand for more land
•Generation of non-degradable waste material –
plastics
•Indiscriminate use of fertilizers, pesticides in
agriculture

8. Fate of climate change in India.

9. MEET TO A NEW COMMUNITY OF DISPLACED
PEOPLES IN INDIA: CLIMATE REFUGEES
The environmental refugees of Brahmapuram.

10. Cities Swell with Climate migrants.
Streets of cities becomes overcrowded
.
• Illegal migration from neighboring
countries affects national security.
• About 20 million people are annually
migrated from Bangladesh to India.
Climate refugee affects national security.

11. In India….
Rise in sea level Floods Droughts
Mortality & climate migration.

12. Kochi... Gujarat…
Sunderban….
Disaster struks……

13. Effects of Climate change on biodiversity in India.
• A recent study suggested that
about 1 million species, could be
extinct by the middle of this
century due to climate change in
Himalayan region.
• Nearly 30% of the coral reefs in
the Gulf of Kutch
are bleached.
• While tropical mangrove
ecosystem also affected on western
coastal line.

14. Effects of climate change on agriculture in India.
• Farmers exposed to risk like floods ,
droughts & irregular rainfall.
• every 1 dc increase in temperature
reduces 5% to 7% yield.
• Unpredictable Market irregularity
affects economy.
• IARI indicate the possibility of a loss
of 4–5 million tonnes in annual wheat
production with every 1dc rise in
temperature.

15. Effects of climate change on health in India…
• Bacterial infections
• Vector born diseases
• Respiratory diseases
• Malnutrition

16. .

18. National Action Plan on Climate Change
• Introducing…
• National Solar Mission.
• National Mission for
Sustaining the Himalayan
Ecosystem.
• National Water Mission.
• National Mission for a Green
India.

19. Action plan for rehabilitation in India.
• There is no official
Recognition for
environmental refugees .
• Organizations like the
International Organization
for Migration , The United
Nations Environment
Programme (UNEP), and
The Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change
(IPCC) have shown an
interest in the issue of
climate refugee.

20. Reduction in the use of non-renewable sources of energy (fossil fuels)
Increased use of renewable sources like solar, wind energy etc.
Save trees and grow more trees
Avoid indiscriminate use of non degradable materials like plastics
Building of laws & legislations against pollution sources.
What you can do to counter
Climate Change…

21. Re- use
Re- generation
Re- creations
Re- cycles
Re- newable
Re- shuffling
