3. Causes of climate change
Oil and Gas:When we burn coal, oil
and gases it largely adds to the
climate problem
Deforestation
Waste: A lot of items, waste and
packaging isn't recyclable, which
means it ends up in landfills.
Power Plants: Burning coal which
is used in power plants is
responsible for around 46% of
total carbon emissions.
Oil Drilling: Oil drilling is
responsible for 30% of the
methane population and around
8% carbon dioxide pollution.
Transport and Vehicles
Consumerism

4. Consequences of climate
change
Whatever we give to the
environment comes back to
us. Just like garbage in,
garbage out scenerio

5. Effect of climate change include:
TEMPERATURE RISES, WATER SHORTAGES,
INCREASED FIRE THREATS, DROUGHT, WEED AND
PEST INVASIONS, INTENSE STORM DAMAGE AND SALT
INVASION, HUMAN HEALTH AND PRODUCTIVITY, LOSS
OF LIVES AND PROPERTIES, EXTINCTION OF ANIMALS

6. Saving Energy Having An Offset Mindset
Cycling To Work Going Natural
Opt for energy-efficient bulbs and
appliances, and switch lights off when
not in use. Go solar if possible!
Buy carbon offsets for unavoidable
emissions. For example, when you
travel by plane.
Cycling is not only great for the
environment, it's great for your health.
Use insulation and shade instead of
heaters and air conditioning.
You can make an
impact by...

7. 30% 50%
more than 100 countries have
signed up to the Great
Methane Pledge, to cut
methane emissions by 30%
from today's levels by 2030.
Reducing GHG emissions by 50%
by 2030 would put 193 out of the
195 UN members States on a
path to limit global warming to
1.5 degrees Celsius

8. Making Your Voice Heard
Sharing Your Own Actions
