This document summarizes a presentation on environmental degradation. It discusses several types of environmental degradation including deforestation, desertification, emissions, and erosion. Deforestation occurs due to logging, burning of forests, and clearing of land for livestock and agriculture. Desertification is caused by overgrazing, over-cultivation, increased fires, water impoundment, and deforestation. Emissions release chemicals into the air from both natural processes like volcanoes and human activities like burning forests. Erosion transports solids through wind, water, ice, gravity, and living organisms which can damage land when vegetation is removed. The document outlines causes and effects of these processes and concludes that policies need to address holistic environmental

Presentation on Environmental Degradation
Its causes and effects on the environment
Awareness of environmental Degradation
Preventive Measures for environmental degradation
Environmental Degradation
Environmental degradation is the deterioration of the environment through depletion of resources such as air, water and soil; the destruction of ecosystems; habitat destruction; the extinction of wildlife; and pollution.
ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION
Environmental degradation is a result of socio-economical, technological and institutional activities. Degradation occurs when Earth's natural resources are depleted. These resources which are affected include:
Water
Air
Soil
The degradation also impacts our:
Wildlife
Plants
Animals
Micro-organisms
The problems resulting from environmental change and its degradation, pose new challenges for traditional public health science. It is an accepted fact that, environmental degradation is contributing to human health threats worldwide. We may have several questions in our mind.
Global Warming
An increase in the average temperature of the earth's atmosphere, especially a sustained increase sufficient to cause climatic change.
Environmental Degradation
Environmental degradation is a process through which the natural environment is compromised in some way, reducing biological diversity and the general health of the environment. This process can be entirely natural in origin, or it can be accelerated or caused by human activities. Many international organizations recognize environmental degradation as one of the major threats facing the planet, since humans have only been given one Earth to work with, and if the environment becomes irreparably compromised, it could mean the end of human existence.
causes and effects of environmental degradation
Environmental degradation is caused by factors like population growth, poverty, urbanization, modern agriculture, industrialization, and transportation. It leads to issues like loss of biodiversity, ozone layer depletion, and negative economic and health impacts. Some solutions proposed are increasing environmental awareness, controlling population growth, strictly enforcing environmental laws, reducing pollution from industries and agriculture, increasing afforestation, better management of solid and liquid waste, and promoting reduce, reuse, recycle lifestyles. Governments, organizations and individuals must work together to address the risks of environmental degradation.
Deforestation
The document provides an overview of deforestation presented by Shivangi Patel. It discusses the causes of deforestation including agriculture, logging, mining, population increase, urbanization, and infrastructure development. The environmental effects include increased carbon emissions, changes to hydrological cycles, soil erosion, and loss of biodiversity. Rates of deforestation have accelerated globally since the 1850s. India has seen significant deforestation that threatens its forest cover and ecology. Potential controls discussed include reducing emissions from deforestation, payments for forest conservation, and strengthening land rights.
Great smog of london1
The Great Smog of 1952 in London was a severe air pollution event lasting from December 5-9, 1952. Cold weather and temperature inversions trapped coal and industrial emissions in the lower atmosphere, creating thick smog that reduced visibility and brought transportation to a standstill. The smog caused over 12,000 deaths from respiratory illnesses and diseases, with 4000 deaths directly attributed to the smog period. The event increased awareness of air pollution issues and led to the Clean Air Act of 1956 aimed at reducing coal burning and industrial emissions.

Environmental Justice
This document summarizes key concepts related to environmental justice. It defines environmental justice as "the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies." It notes that environmental justice stems from the intersection of civil rights and environmentalism and focuses on addressing the disproportionate environmental impacts experienced by marginalized communities. Factors like economic resources, social capital, and structural discrimination can influence exposure to environmental hazards as well as health outcomes.
Deforestation- Its Causes and Impacts
Deforestation,how it is impacting our environment, the chief causes of deforestation, the organisations that are working against it.
Global environmental issues
Environmental issues are any such issues created due to human activities and cause harm to the environment. Environmental issues are harmful effects of human activity on the biophysical environment.
They relate to the anthropogenic effects on the natural environment, which are loosely divided into causes, effects and mitigation, noting that effects are interconnected and can cause new effects.
Human effect in environment
This document discusses key concepts in ecology including ecosystems, ecological succession, biodiversity, threats to the environment, and approaches to environmental protection. It defines ecosystems as dynamic interactions between organisms and their environment. Biodiversity is declining due to threats like habitat loss, pollution, and climate change. The document advocates for sustainable development, conservation of biodiversity hotspots, and restoration ecology to protect the environment for future generations.
Environmental Impacts of Industries
Overview of environmental impacts of industries around the world. It also discusses the environmental impact of Rice industries.
Sustainable development and climate change
The document discusses sustainable development and climate change issues in India. It notes that while India has strongly accepted the science of climate change, more action is needed on multilateral agreements. It outlines key challenges like increasing population, urbanization, and growing demands on land and water resources. However, India has also made progress through policies promoting renewable energy, poverty reduction, and literacy. The document discusses international collaboration through conferences like Rio+20 and efforts to set targets and provide finance and technology to developing countries.
Impact of Poverty on the Environment
Poverty has widespread negative impacts on the environment through various mechanisms. Those in poverty are often forced to strip resources simply to survive or pay off debts, leading to environmental degradation. However, not all humans have equal responsibility for environmental problems, as the consumption patterns of the world's wealthiest contribute disproportionately. Achieving true sustainability requires addressing both environmental and social issues, including the concentration of decision-making power regarding resource allocation. Education can help alleviate poverty by empowering individuals and breaking intergenerational cycles, but poverty also restricts access to education, creating a vicious cycle.
Global environmental issues
The document discusses several major environmental problems facing the world including climate change, ozone depletion, biodiversity loss, ocean exhaustion, desertification, pollution, deforestation, and population growth. It provides details on the causes and impacts of issues like global warming, the Antarctic ozone hole, desertification, pollution of oceans, air, water and soil. Solutions proposed include sustainable development, green economy, education programs, effective policy implementation, and individual action along with government and non-government groups working together. The presentation calls for immediate intervention to address the alarming global environmental crisis.
Climate change in india
Climate change is having significant impacts on India, which is ranked as the fourth most affected country. India's greenhouse gas emissions are the third largest in the world, mainly from coal use. Rising temperatures are causing Himalayan glaciers to retreat and threatening water resources. This is exacerbating droughts and floods while also displacing coastal communities through sea level rise. Climate change poses severe risks to India's economy, agriculture, and population health by increasing heat waves and air pollution. The government is pursuing policies like boosting renewable energy and reforestation to mitigate and adapt to these climate change impacts.
Climate Change and India
Climate change is happening as the Earth is warming due to increased greenhouse gas emissions. The average global temperature has risen 0.85°C from 1880 to 2012 and is projected to exceed 2°C by 2100. Small changes in average temperature can lead to large shifts in climate and weather. Evidence shows changes in rainfall patterns, more extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and impacts on ecosystems. The document then provides details on climate change impacts expected for India, such as changes in weather patterns, sea level rise, impacts on agriculture and food security. Case studies on projected climate trends and impacts in Bhubaneswar, India are also presented, along with proposed resilience actions.
What is Deforestation
this presentation is about deforestation which means removal of forest for surface of land. in this presentation we will discuss about the deforestation, its causes and effects etc. on environment.
Environmental policies in india
The document discusses several key environmental policies and acts in India, including the Forest Conservation Act of 1980, the Environment Protection Act of 1986, the National Environmental Policy of 2006, and the Air Prevention and Control of Pollution Act of 1981. The acts were established to regulate activities that impact the environment, conserve forests, establish standards for pollution control, and advise the government on improving air quality. Violations of the acts can result in penalties such as fines or imprisonment. While the policies aim to protect the environment, pollution remains a major problem in India due to non-compliance, requiring a change in practices to minimize environmental exploitation.
Economics, Environment, and Sustainability
The document discusses economic systems and sustainability. It describes different types of economic systems like free market systems and how governments intervene. It also discusses strategies to shift economies to be more environmentally sustainable, such as full-cost pricing and reducing poverty.

carbon footprint
The document discusses carbon footprints and ways to reduce them. It defines a carbon footprint as the total greenhouse gas emissions caused by an individual, organization, or product. Carbon footprints are measured in units of carbon dioxide equivalent. The document outlines different types of carbon footprints and provides tips for calculating and reducing carbon footprints through various lifestyle and organizational changes. It also discusses ISO 14067, which establishes principles for quantifying and communicating the carbon footprint of products and services.
Economics slides
The document defines the environment as the surroundings in which an organism lives, including abiotic factors such as air, water and land, and biotic factors such as plants, animals and microbes. It also discusses several major environmental issues including global warming, ozone depletion, air pollution, land degradation, deforestation, soil erosion, biodiversity loss, and sustainable development goals. The sustainable development goals aim to meet current needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs.
Environment management - exploitation & modification of natural resources
Natural resources refer to all materials in nature that are required by humans for their well-beings. In other words, humans are totally dependent on natural resources for survival. For instance, they grow crops, catch fish, and rear livestock and poultry for food; they exploit fossil fuels for energy supply; they cut down timber, extract minerals, and collect water for various uses in industry, construction, and many aspects in daily life. Natural resources are customarily classified into renewable resources and non-renewable resources.
Renewable resources are resources that can be regenerated fairly rapidly through natural processes. Examples include oxygen, minerals in soil, wildlife, timber, fish, and fresh water. Theoretically, these resources are renewed naturally and are always available. However, if the rates of use exceed the rates of renewal, the resources will become depleted.

Threats to biodiversity
The document discusses several key threats to biodiversity: habitat alteration, invasive species, pollution, population growth, and overexploitation, known by the acronym HIPPO. It provides examples and explanations of each threat. Habitat alteration, mainly through forest clearing, agriculture and urban development, affects most organisms by changing their adapted habitat. Invasive species have become the second worst threat after being introduced internationally. Pollution harms biodiversity but to a lesser extent than other threats. Population growth exacerbates all threats by increasing resource use and consumption. Overexploitation includes overharvesting wildlife and overconsumption of resources.

Environmental Pollution and its causess
The document discusses several major environmental factors including pollution, global warming, overpopulation, natural resource depletion, and waste disposal. It provides details on each of these issues, explaining that pollution stems from industry, vehicles, and toxins in the air, water, and soil. Global warming is caused by greenhouse gas emissions which raise temperatures and melt ice caps. Overpopulation strains scarce resources like water, fuel, and food. Natural resource depletion occurs as fossil fuels are consumed and emitted, contributing to global warming. Waste disposal has become a global crisis as excess waste is produced and improperly disposed of.
Desertification
Desertification is land degradation in dryland areas caused by climatic variations and human activities. The main causes are deforestation, soil erosion, clearing land for construction, and population pressures. Deforestation removes trees that anchor soil and regulate rainfall. Soil erosion degrades and depletes soils, reducing their ability to support life. Construction activities and population growth increase pressure on limited resources. Desertification has environmental, economic and social impacts like reduced biodiversity, famine, and climate change. Combating desertification requires awareness, sustainable land management like tree planting, and community involvement. The document provides examples of desertification in regions like Africa, China, and the Mediterranean island of Malta.

Effects are wide-ranging, such as negative impacts on human health, loss of biodiversity, ozone layer depletion, reduced tourism, and high economic costs of remediation and environmental protection programs.
Desertification Assignment
The document discusses desertification, including its causes and impacts. It defines desertification as the degradation of dry lands, which can be caused by climate change or destructive land use practices. Excessive farming, overgrazing, deforestation, and poor irrigation are some of the main causes. Desertification has significant environmental, economic, and social impacts, including loss of vegetation, reduced soil fertility, decreased food production, water scarcity, and human migration. International agreements have aimed to combat desertification's effects and support sustainable development in affected regions.
Land pollution in the Philippines
The document discusses land pollution and its causes and effects. It defines land pollution as the deterioration of land surfaces directly or indirectly caused by human activities. Some key causes mentioned include deforestation, agricultural chemical use, mining activities, littering, and habitat destruction. Effects include soil pollution, changes to climate patterns, and environmental impacts such as disrupted rain cycles and global warming.
Effects of human activities on organisms
Biodiversity refers to the variety of life on Earth. It is highest in the tropics and tends to cluster in hotspots. Biodiversity is important as it provides resources for human products and activities. However, human activities like deforestation, pollution, dam construction, industries, mining, and uncontrolled resource extraction threaten biodiversity in several ways. They can destroy habitats, disrupt ecosystems, release toxins, and drive many species to extinction. Protecting biodiversity requires reducing these human impacts on the environment.
Ant312 final report
Land degradation in Bangladesh poses a serious challenge to food security. The main drivers of land degradation are population increase, which is putting pressure on limited available land, as well as climate change impacts like droughts and floods. Unsustainable agricultural practices are also contributing, such as cultivation on marginal lands without conservation measures. As a result, Bangladesh is experiencing high rates of soil erosion, salinization, and declining soil fertility. This is reducing agricultural productivity and threatening food production. Sustainable land management is needed to address land degradation and ensure future food security in Bangladesh.
