3. WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
Climate change refers to changes in the Earth’s climates, at local,
regional, or global scales, and is most commonly used to describe
anthropogenic caused.
These changes may be natural but human activities have been
the main driver of climate change, primarily due to the burning
of fossil fuels (like coal, oil, and gas) increasing heat-trapping
greenhouse gas levels in the Earth’s atmosphere.

4.  Weather: refers to short term of atmospheric
condition, variations in temperature, pressure,
precipitation(Weather like hot, cold, rainy,
sunny, cloudy weather etc.
 Climate: refers to averaging weather pattern
over a long period of time of 30 years.
( like tropical climate, temperate climate, polar
climate)

2) Methane (CH4)
3) Nitrous oxide (N2O)
4) Water vapors
5) Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs)
6) Perfluorocarbons (PFCs)
7) Sulphur hexafluoride (SF6)
8) Nitrogen trifluoride (NF3)

9. 1) Reflectivity or Absorption of the Sun's Energy
2) Changes in the Earth's Orbit and Rotation
3) Variations in Solar Activity
4) Changes in the Earth's Reflectivity
5) Volcanic Activity
6) Others etc.

14.  Global warming of 1°C or 1.5°C
represents an average across the
planet – many places will warm faster,
and see far greater temperature
increases.
For example, the Arctic is warming 2-3
times faster than any other place on
Earth. The effects of global heating are
far-reaching, including rising sea levels,
glacier retreat, changes in the timing of

15.  Because the Earth is a system, where everything is
connected, changes in one area often influence changes
in all others.
 The consequences of climate change now include:
 Natural disasters
1) intense droughts
2) water scarcity
3) severe fires
4) rising sea levels
5) flooding
6) melting polar ice
7) catastrophic storms
8) declining biodiversity

17. 1) Air pollution,
2) Water pollution,
3) Diseases,
4) Extreme weather events,
5) Forced displacement,
6) Pressures on mental health,
7) Increased hunger and poor nutrition in places where
people cannot grow sufficient food.

damaged 1.1 M houses, destroyed 33M trees ,and
causing 13 billion USD, India and china (2013)

people and causing 114 Million USD in the country

25.  Nov 30, 2023 to 13 Dec, 2023, the 28th meeting of the
Conference of the Parties mostly known as (COP28) or the United
Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)
will be held at Expo City, Dubai in the United Arab Emirates
(UAE).
 The UAE has outlined four themes for COP28: technology and
innovation, inclusion, frontline communities, and finance.
 The Incoming Presidency of COP28 has outlined four key areas of
focus on during the conference: Fast-tracking the energy transition
and reducing emissions before 2030.

26.  Ramsar Convention. It is called the
Convention onWetlands
 Stockholm Convention. It is a convention on
Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs)
 Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD)
 Bonn Convention
 ViennaConvention
 Montreal Protocol
 Kyoto Protocol

27.  The current solutions being
offered to handle climate change
tend to be scientific, economic
and political.
 Develop new technologies,
employ new business and

28.  Switching to sustainable transport
 Improving farming and encourage vegan diets
 Restoring nature ( Forestation) to absorb more carbon
 Protecting forests like the Amazon
 Protecting the oceans
 Reducing plastic
 Global partnership to obey climate laws
