Concentrate on their
role in reducing

Spatial planning at
a local level has a
critical anticipatory
role to play in
promoting robust
adaptation.

12. Retail
• Shoppers turned towards so-called comfort foods in an effort to dispel the
cold and wet summer weather.
• Increase in demand of sales of mince, soup, custard and gravy, ice cream,
barbecue food and alcohol, with clothes and sandals.
• Sales rose 3% on a like-for-like basis, and 5.7% in total from a year earlier.
• People travel less and use local shops and services more.
Agriculture
• U.S. farms supply nearly 25% of all grains (such as wheat, corn, and rice)
on the global market.
• It has a significant impacts on crop yields.
• It will depend on the crop's optimal temperature for growth and
reproduction.
• Warming may benefit some crops that grown in warmer areas.
• Higher the temperature exceeds a crop's optimum temperature, which will
lead to decline of yields.

13. Small
Business
• Floods: Loss of business continuity and were unable to operate
normally.
• Loss of power and communications: Lost orders and enquiries.
• No trade practices for some time.
• Delays were increased by paperwork: Lost or damaged.
• Problem for insurance claims, tracing orders and filling in tax
returns.
hospitality
industry
• Rise in opportunities.
• Providing services close to outdoor leisure facilities could see a
significant opportunity for improved business performance

14. Green House
Gases
• Gases that trap heat in the atmosphere are called greenhouse gases..
• human activities has increased by 35% from 1990 to 2010.
• Emissions of carbon dioxide has 3/4th of total emissions increased by
42%
• Gases with a higher GWP absorb more energy, per pound, than gases
with a lower GWP, and thus contribute more to warming Earth.

18. Takeaways from India’s new Intended
Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC)
Adaptation is a key priority.
It will sequester carbon by increasing forest cover.
Its emissions intensity target could go further.
Sets a clear signal for clean energy.

19. The Paris agreement:
•It agreed by nearly 200 countries in December 2015, which came
into force on 4 November 2016.
•It commits to keep global warming below 2C, for safety by
scientists, and pursuing a tougher target of 1.5C.
•The carbon emission curbs put forward by countries under Paris
are not legally-binding but the framework of the accord, which
includes a mechanism for periodically cranking those pledges up,
is binding.
•It has long-term goal for net zero emissions which would
effectively phase out fossil fuels.
Additional Information

20. •Fossil fuel industries see continued opportunities for development
within a low-carbon world..
•we need to support those countries [that are committed to lower
emission coal technology, such as high-efficiency plants]
•The Paris agreement sends a much-needed signal to politicians and
industry that we have to build a new world, and this has to start now.
However, the deal is not enough to keep people and the planet safe.
•Countries have put forward commitments on curbing carbon
emissions under the agreement, but a report on Thursday found
those pledges would see temperature rises significantly overshoot
the threshold, with 3C of warming.
Outcome of Agreement

21. National Green Tribunal
• On 18th October 2010, Justice Lokeshwar Singh Panta became its first
Chairman. Currently it is chaired by Justice Swatanter Kumar since 20th Dec
2012.
• Date enacted 5th May 2010 & date assented to 2nd June 2010.
• India is the 3rd country following Australia and New Zealand to have a Green
Tribunal.
• Functions with an objective of deposing within 6 months of filing.
• New Delhi is the principle place of NGT.
• Strength of the Tribunal is 10 expert members and 10 judicial members.

22. National Green Tribunal Passed Interim
• The National Green Tribunal Pune bench on Tuesday directed all collectors
and police commissioners in the coastal areas of Maharashtra, Gujarat and Goa
to henceforth strictly prohibit and monitor the rampant and illegal sand mining
on their beaches.
• Yamuna Conservation Zone on April 2014, The NGT recommended the
Government to declare a 52km stretch of Yamuna in Delhi &Uttar Pradesh as a
conservation zone.
• Ban on old diesel vehicle as an attempt to minimize air pollution in Delhi &
NCR PM 2.5 particles have reached alarming level. As per this order 10 years
old vehicle aren’t allowed to ply.
• NGT passed an interim order stopping mining and transportation of coal in the
state. Where as on 9th may it was implemented.
