2. • Climate change has led to a variety of consequences, including rising sea levels, more frequent and intense weather
events like hurricanes, floods, and droughts, changes in ecosystems, and the endangerment of wildlife. These
consequences not only threaten the natural world but also have significant impacts on human health and the global
economy.
• But why is this happening? As I mentioned earlier, the increase in greenhouse gases, primarily from burning fossil fuels,
is causing global temperatures to rise. This warming effect has far-reaching consequences for our planet's ecosystems
and weather patterns. We can also see that the human population has been growing, which means we have more
people on the planet with increasing demands for resources.
• So, what can we do about it? The most effective way to address climate change is by reducing greenhouse gas
emissions. This can be achieved by transitioning to renewable energy sources like wind and solar, implementing
energy-efficient practices in our daily lives, supporting carbon taxes, and investing in technologies that capture and
store carbon.
• Another critical aspect of addressing climate change is through policy and regulation. Governments and organizations
must work together to create and enforce laws that limit greenhouse gas emissions, incentivize sustainable practices,
and promote climate-friendly technologies.
• In conclusion, climate change is an urgent problem that requires immediate action. We all have a role to play in
addressing this issue, whether it is through changes in our daily lives, supporting policies that reduce greenhouse gas
emissions, or investing in sustainable technologies. Thank you for your attention today, and let's work together to create
a sustainable future for all.

3. Impacts of climate change
Rising sea levels: As global temperatures rise, so do sea levels. This can lead to flooding, erosion of coastlines, and the displacement of people who live in
coastal areas.
Extreme weather events: Climate change can lead to more frequent and intense weather events such as hurricanes, floods, and droughts. These events
can have devastating impacts on communities, including loss of life, property damage, and food insecurity.
Changes in ecosystems: Climate change can disrupt ecosystems, causing changes in the behavior and distribution of plant and animal species. This can
lead to biodiversity loss, food chain disruptions, and other negative impacts.
Public health impacts: Climate change can exacerbate existing health problems and create new ones. For example, rising temperatures can lead to more
cases of heat-related illnesses, while changes in rainfall patterns can lead to the spread of waterborne diseases.
Economic impacts: Climate change can have significant economic impacts, such as reduced agricultural productivity, increased costs for infrastructure
repairs, and the loss of tourism revenue in areas affected by climate-related disasters.
It's important to note that these impacts are not evenly distributed. Vulnerable communities, such as low-income neighborhoods and indigenous
communities, are often hit the hardest by the impacts of climate change. As young people, you can become advocates for change and work to support
policies that address these issues. Together, we can work towards a more sustainable future for all.

4. Introduction
• Hello and welcome to this presentation on "A Call to Action:
Empowering Students to Combat Climate Change". Today, we will
discuss the critical role of students in addressing climate change and
how they can take action to create a more sustainable future.

5. • Climate change is a complex issue that affects every living
being on our planet, and its consequences are becoming
increasingly evident. In this presentation,
• (Introduce yourself)
• I will be covering the basics of what climate change is, what
causes it, and what we can do to address it.

6. What is Climate Change?
• Firstly, let's define what climate change is. Climate change is
the long-term alteration of global temperature and typical
weather patterns, caused by human activities such as burning
fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes. The
increase in greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide,
methane, and nitrous oxide, is the primary cause of climate
change.
• Climate change is a long-term alteration in the average weather
patterns that have come to define Earth's local, regional and global
climates.

7. Insert pictures of what is stated
• It is caused primarily by human activities, including the burning of
fossil fuels and deforestation.

8. Insert pictures of effects of climate change
• Climate change is a major threat to our planet, and its effects are
being felt in many parts of the world, including rising sea levels,
extreme weather conditions, and loss of biodiversity.

9. Impact of Climate Change on the
Environment (insert pictures)
• The impact of climate change on the environment is severe. Rising
sea levels threaten to flood low-lying areas, and more frequent
natural disasters like hurricanes, typhoons, and wildfires have caused
widespread devastation. Climate change has also contributed to a
decline in biodiversity, with many species at risk of extinction.

10. Impact of Climate Change on Human Health
• Climate change not only affects the environment but also human
health. Increased air pollution and exposure to toxic chemicals have
led to respiratory problems, and the spread of diseases has become
more common. Climate change also affects mental health, causing
anxiety and depression.

11. How Students Can Combat Climate Change
• Now, let's talk about how students can combat climate change. There
are many ways in which students can make a difference. They can
start by reducing energy use, reducing waste, using public
transportation or bikes instead of cars, and supporting sustainable
products and practices.

12. Educational Programs and Resources
• Educational programs and resources are also available to help
students learn about climate change and take action. Many schools
have incorporated climate change into their curriculum, and online
resources like the EPA’s Climate Change website and NASA’s Climate
Kids are also available.

13. The Importance of Collaboration
• The importance of collaboration and collective action cannot be
overstated when it comes to combating climate change. Students can
join forces with other environmental organizations and work together
to create a larger impact.

14. Conclusion
• In conclusion, the fight against climate change is urgent, and the role
of students in this fight is critical. By taking action to reduce their
carbon footprint and advocating for sustainable practices, students
can make a real difference. With education and collaboration, we can
empower students to be agents of change in the fight against climate
change.
