Economic perspectives on the impact of climate change on agricultureharrison manyumwa
The world's climate is changing, and the growing evidence is that the major drivers are anthropogenic, i.e. caused by humans. While humans are contributing to the changing climates the impacts of climate change on other humans range from minor to severe depending on the region one is located. As such, climate change has been viewed as a problem with a negative exernality. The diverse distributionl impacts have resulted in "winners" and "losers". But what is the way forward. I argue that "winners" should support and help the "losers" regain a normal life, by helping them to be resilient. Enjoy.
This chapter discusses management, the environment, and organizational culture. It covers conducting environmental scans of the external environment, which includes economic, legal, technological, social and integrity factors, as well as the task environment including customers, suppliers, competitors and regulators. It also discusses scanning the internal environment including owners, employees and resources. The chapter examines different types of organizational culture, including hierarchy, market, clan and adhocracy cultures, and factors that influence a company's culture.
Impact of climate change on agriculture & allied sectorsPradipa Chinnasamy
Climate change will significantly impact agriculture and food security in India. Rising temperatures, changing rainfall patterns, and more frequent extreme weather events will affect crop yields, livestock, and fisheries. Higher temperatures can reduce yields of major crops like rice, wheat and soybean. Pests, diseases and weeds will also spread to new areas, posing additional threats. Livestock will face heat stress and lower milk production. Fisheries may see increased catches but ocean acidification could damage shells of shellfish. To ensure food security, India needs strategies like switching crops, establishing food reserves, and developing climate-resilient varieties.
The document outlines environmental management challenges in Dubai. It begins with a brief history of Dubai's environmental department and outlines its responsibilities which include waste management, air and water quality monitoring, and inspections. It then discusses some key environmental challenges such as excessive coastal development damaging marine habitat, lack of recycling and conservation, limited landfill space, high ozone and noise levels, and poor air quality. Potential solutions are provided such as waste-to-energy systems, regulations, increased green space, and public education programs. The conclusion notes challenges of limited institutional capacity and civic engagement to address these environmental issues.

An environmental management system (EMS) is a set of processes and methods that help align corporate strategies with environmental protection. An EMS identifies environmental impacts and establishes rules to help an organization minimize harm. Travis Perkins, a building materials supplier, implemented an EMS based on ISO 14001 standards to reduce costs, comply with regulations, and improve its environmental performance and reputation. Key elements of Travis Perkins' EMS include setting targets in its environmental policy and improvement plan, assigning responsibilities, and tracking performance indicators to monitor progress.
Climate change, its impact on agriculture and mitigation strategiesVasu Dev Meena
This document summarizes the impacts of climate change on agriculture in India and strategies to mitigate these impacts. It notes that agriculture is highly vulnerable to climate change due to factors like rainfall dependency and degradation of soils. Key impacts include reduced yields of crops like sorghum, maize and groundnut due to increased temperatures and changed rainfall patterns. Adaptation strategies discussed include using drought and heat tolerant crop varieties, conservation agriculture techniques like mulching, and watershed management.
This document discusses various types and causes of environmental pollution in India. It notes that Mahatma Gandhi warned about satisfying man's greed leading to environmental issues. It then discusses different types of pollution affecting India - air pollution from vehicles and industry causing health issues, noise pollution mainly from vehicles, water pollution from untreated wastewater causing deaths, and soil pollution from agricultural chemicals. Specific polluted areas in India are also named. Suggestions to address pollution include projects to protect historic monuments from pollution and cooperation between India and the World Bank on green initiatives.
Plenary 2 - Social Impacts of Global Climate Changerbulalakaw
The document discusses the social impacts of climate change. It notes that climate change threatens development and exacerbates existing inequalities. Developing nations and vulnerable groups like women, farmers, fisherfolk and the urban poor will be most heavily impacted. Key effects include increased extreme weather events, rising sea levels, droughts and food insecurity. This poses severe risks to livelihoods, health, and human security. Adaptation is necessary but challenging due to factors like weak institutions and limited resources. Empowering women and addressing gender inequalities are important for effective adaptation.
Strategies to overcome climate change effect on fruitParshant Bakshi
This document discusses strategies for mitigating the impacts of climate change on subtropical fruits. It provides evidence that human activities are changing the climate through greenhouse gas emissions. The key impacts of climate change on horticulture that are predicted by 2050 include increased CO2, sea level rise, higher temperatures, changes in precipitation patterns, and increased storminess. These climate changes will affect fruit crops like citrus, grapes, mangoes, and guavas through issues like increased disease pressure, reduced yields, and decreased fruit quality. The document recommends strategies for fruit crops to adapt to or mitigate the effects of climate change.
An environmental management system (EMS) is a set of processes and practices that enable an organization to reduce environmental impacts and increase operating efficiency. It includes organizational structure, planning, and resources for developing, implementing, and maintaining environmental protection policies. The main goals of an EMS are continual improvement of the system and providing a systematic way to manage an organization's environmental affairs. Key elements of an EMS include environmental policy, planning, implementation, checking, and management review.
This document discusses environmental management and various aspects of the environment. It defines the environment as encompassing both physical and biological factors that surround organisms. It outlines fundamental principles for protecting the environment like maintaining biodiversity and ecological balance. The document then describes different segments of the environment, including the natural environment consisting of abiotic and biotic factors, man-made environments, and the social environment. It provides details on layers of the atmosphere, oceans, land, and the interior of the Earth. The last section discusses intensive agriculture and its benefits of high yields and cheaper food but also problems like pollution, disease, and damage to the environment.

Climate change requires a new narrative. Professor Jeremy Williams argues that our primary concern now should not be whether climate change is human-induced, but what we are going to do about it in order that societies might protect themselves from the effects of climate change.
Environmental management aims to control human impact on the environment to preserve natural resources and improve human welfare. It focuses on developing and implementing environmental policy. Sustainable development meets present needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs. India faces many environmental issues like pollution, degradation of land and forests, and loss of biodiversity due to factors like population growth, urbanization, and industrialization. The national environmental policy aims to mainstream environmental concerns in development and achieve conservation, equity, and sustainability.
