Effects of climate change
This document outlines an assignment for students to research and present on various effects of climate change. It instructs students to get into groups, each assigned to one effect of climate change such as droughts or hurricanes. They are to read an article about their assigned effect, then create a newscast answering questions about the signs, causes, concerns, related problems, and areas impacted. Finally, students will present their newscasts and take notes on each effect.
Climate Action Project video call
The document discusses climate change and its causes, effects, and impacts on humanity. It defines climate change as a significant change in weather patterns that persists over decades. The main causes are listed as rapid industrialization, deforestation, transportation, agriculture, energy use, and forest fires. The effects include rising temperatures, sea levels, extreme weather, melting glaciers, and loss of wildlife and biodiversity. Climate change creates issues like water and food insecurity, illness, loss of homes, hunger, poverty, and mental health impacts for humanity. Some ways to help address it are reducing waste, eating less meat, using less transportation, planting trees, stopping pollution, and protecting animals and plants.
Climate action project dautry-week 3- video call with the Republic of Moldova
This document outlines the third week of a climate action project between students in France and Moldova. It discusses exploring the potential impacts of 1.5-2 degree Celsius of global warming through research and reviewing sources like the IPCC report. Students are asked to consider effects on plants, animals, weather patterns, and human activity. They will then have a virtual exchange to share ideas about future impacts and actions to address climate change through icebreaker activities and discussing reasons for confidence.

Climate change is caused by greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide trapping heat in the atmosphere and warming the planet. There is a scientific consensus that human activity, like burning fossil fuels, is the leading cause of increased greenhouse gases and accelerated climate change. While some politicians disagree on the severity and causes of climate change, most countries are taking steps to transition to cleaner energy and reduce emissions. However, converting to 100% renewable energy would require massive financial investments and present technical challenges. Failing to adequately address climate change could have severe environmental and economic consequences around the world.
Introduction to HEI
This document provides an overview of the unit on human-environment interaction. It discusses how humans both positively and negatively impact the environment through three key relationships: adapting to their surroundings, depending on environmental resources, and modifying their habitat. Some examples of human impacts include clearing land for agriculture, bringing water into homes, and adjusting clothing for different climates.
Climate change activism
Young climate activists are working to address climate change through collaboration in social, scientific, political, and conservation fields. Their goal is to preserve the environment for future generations since youth are least responsible for the climate crisis but will be most impacted. Major activism events include the 2014 People's Climate March in New York and global climate strikes in 2019 led by Greta Thunberg, who has inspired a youth climate strike movement through Fridays for Future. Other young activists are campaigning against issues like deforestation, plastic pollution, and desertification around the world to hold governments accountable to the Paris Agreement as the effects of climate change like rising temperatures in Germany show it is a global problem.

Boom Or Bust Climate One (Dan Miller 11 11) 1
This document summarizes the risks of climate change and opportunities for action. It discusses how climate change poses severe risks like droughts, sea level rise, and extreme weather. While some impacts are already occurring, failing to act could lead to worse consequences like mass shortages of food and water. The document also reviews why climate change is difficult for societies to address and provides suggestions for individuals, countries, and economic policies to enact like pricing carbon and investing in renewable energy. It argues that transitioning to low-carbon energy presents major economic opportunities through new jobs and industries if societies take action within the next five years.
Confronting Hidden Threats to Sustainability
We think we understand environmental damage: pollution, water scarcity, a warming world. But these problems are just the tip of the iceberg. Deeper issues include food insecurity, financial assets drained of value by environmental damage, and a rapid rise in diseases of animal origin. These and other problems are among the underreported consequences of an unsustainable global system.
In State of the World 2015, the flagship publication of the Worldwatch Institute, experts explore hidden threats to sustainability and how to address them. Eight key issues are addressed in depth, along with the central question of how we can develop resilience to these and other shocks. With the latest edition of State of the World, the authorities at Worldwatch bring to light challenges we can no longer afford to ignore.
Global relationship by decrease in 2'c.
Representatives from countries around the world signed a treaty to reduce global temperatures by 2 degrees Celsius and shake hands in agreement to address global warming through proposals and suggestions. The goal is to minimize the dangerous greenhouse effect in the atmosphere caused by increasing amounts of gases like carbon dioxide trapping heat from the sun and causing Earth's atmosphere to gradually rise in temperature. After extensive discussions on global warming, the countries agreed to work together to address this and other global issues through cooperation instead of arguments in order to pass on a sustainable environment to future generations. The signing of the treaty shows that it is never too late to start campaigns against threats like global warming and pollution that endanger lives worldwide.
Extinction Rebellion: Talking about climate change
This document provides information and discussion prompts for a workshop on defending climate science and activism. The workshop covers:
- Understanding climate science and communicating the climate emergency effectively.
- Explaining, promoting, and defending climate activism such as Extinction Rebellion.
- Tips for discussing climate science with the public, addressing common denial arguments, and winning formal debates.
- Exercises on prioritizing human impacts of climate change over animal imagery, and analyzing factors that make for good and bad climate conversations.
Global warming
Global warming is caused by increased levels of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide that are released through human activities such as deforestation, industrialization, and the use of fertilizers. This traps heat in the atmosphere and warms the planet, leading to rising sea levels, changes in rainfall patterns, and melting ice peaks. To address global warming, actions need to be taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through practices like using renewable fuels and energy efficient appliances, as well as increasing awareness about the problem. Unless immediate steps are taken, the effects of global warming will likely continue causing major problems.
Global warming
Global warming is a serious environmental crisis that requires international cooperation and a transition to cleaner energy sources to address. Political differences have undermined efforts to curb global warming, but reconciling these factions and working together is urgently needed. Greenhouse gas emissions from power plants are major contributors that must be reduced through alternative energy in order to slow the rise in global temperatures caused by this global issue.
Extinction Rebellion Climate Science Saddleworth Presentation
The presentation covers the climate emergency, the threats posed by climate change including mass extinction, the solutions available to address it, and the work of Extinction Rebellion.

Richard Odingo template
Professor Richard S. Odingo discusses several issues related to climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts. He notes that while adaptation is seen as a solution, governments struggle with conceptualizing adaptation in a changing climate. For mitigation, science and politics often clash, with politics taking precedence. Capacity building to train climate scientists is important but cannot be rushed, as it takes time to become an expert in the interdisciplinary field of climate change. The United States in particular has been a stumbling block due to some senators being blinded by national interests rather than listening to the global community.
Climate change e-learning tool - from Mercy Corps
This document summarizes a training module on climate change for Mercy Corps staff. It begins by stating that 300 million people will migrate and 2 billion will face water shortages by 2020 due to climate change. It then provides an introduction to the training, which aims to enhance understanding of climate change and how it affects Mercy Corps' work. The training covers topics like the impacts of sea level rise, tropical storms, and drought on communities worldwide. It discusses how Mercy Corps is helping communities prepare for and adapt to the effects of climate change through initiatives like disaster risk reduction and promoting renewable energy.

Global Climate Change
The document discusses global climate change and initiatives by the U.S. government and other organizations to address it. It notes that in 2001 the U.S. President committed to developing a science-based climate change policy and funding research on technologies to meet the climate challenge. The President also created the Climate Change Research Initiative to study uncertainties and identify investments that could make a difference. Additional sections discuss definitions of climate change, its causes, the role of states and citizens in meeting reduction goals, and calls to action to address it through both domestic and international policies.
Policymakers - key messages on climate change: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulner...
This document summarizes key findings from the IPCC's Fifth Assessment Report regarding impacts, adaptation and vulnerability to climate change. It finds that climate change is already causing widespread impacts on natural and human systems across all continents. While adaptation is already occurring, continued high emissions will increase risks. Vulnerability and exposure to climate change impacts differ around the world due to non-climatic factors and inequality. Many global risks are concentrated in urban areas, where over half the world's population now lives. Effective climate change adaptation requires integrated decision-making across climate adaptation, mitigation, disaster risk reduction and urban development agendas. Local governments have a key role to play in planning and implementing climate adaptation but need appropriate mandates and support.

Leah & Alexa 4
The document discusses climate change, the greenhouse effect, global warming, and their causes and impacts. It defines the greenhouse effect as the process that keeps the Earth's climate warm and habitable, consisting mainly of water vapor along with carbon dioxide, methane and other gases. Global warming refers to human-caused increases in these greenhouse gases that are raising temperatures worldwide. The document outlines how human activities like burning fossil fuels are accelerating climate change and releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Potential consequences discussed include rising sea temperatures increasing hurricane strength and the spread of diseases to new areas.

The document discusses the climate emergency based on scientific reports and data. It makes three key points:
1) Scientific reports from the UN's IPCC state that global warming must be limited to 1.5 degrees Celsius to avoid severe consequences for humanity. Current policies are insufficient to meet the UN's recommendations.
2) Scientific data shows that climate change impacts like Arctic ice melt and record high temperatures are occurring at a much faster rate than predicted. Positive climate feedback loops may be accelerating global warming.
3) Urgent action is needed to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions to near zero globally by 2040 in order to avert catastrophic effects of climate change by 2100 like widespread habitat loss and species extinction.
Major environmental problems and Issues of the world
Here one will come to know indepth knowledge of environmental issue and problems of the world with detail picture
SR15 - The physical basis of Climate Change
This document summarizes key findings from an IPCC special report on the impacts of global warming of 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. The report was authored by 91 authors from 40 countries, received input from over 6,000 studies and 42,000 public comments. It finds that human activities have already caused 1°C of warming and that further warming poses risks to natural and human systems. Limiting warming to 1.5°C compared to 2°C could reduce heat waves, extreme precipitation and sea level rise. However, 1.5°C of warming still poses severe risks to regions like small islands, Mediterranean, West Africa, and Arctic.

This document summarizes the process of parliamentary committee inquiries in Japan's Diet (parliament). It discusses how committees receive terms of reference to initiate inquiries, how they conduct investigations, and compares Japan's process to other countries. The summary finds that Japan's process lacks public reporting of inquiry findings and has low public inclusion. Party loyalty also hinders effective bipartisan work in committees, unlike other advanced democracies.
Learning how to Learn
This paper discusses three key concepts from a course on learning: procrastination, focused vs diffuse thinking modes, and mindset. It ties these concepts to Csikszentmihalyi's theory of "flow" and theories of time management to develop a strategic learning plan. The paper argues that achieving a state of flow is necessary for realizing learning potential. It then discusses strategies to address procrastination, make effective use of thinking modes, and implement spaced learning sessions as part of time management. The discussion notes potential downsides of prolonged flow states but argues that successful flow management is essential for satisfaction in learning and life.
FD Country Overview - South Sudan
This document provides an overview of South Sudan, examining factors that have influenced its adoption of a decentralized legal order and calls for a federal constitution. It discusses South Sudan's social, economic, political and legal foundations, how power is distributed, and normative dimensions that have emerged such as conflicts and calls for further decentralization or federalism. The overview diagnoses challenges South Sudan faces in balancing power sharing, resource distribution, and conflict management as it continues developing inclusive governance as the world's newest country emerging from civil war.
The characteristics needed by the Japanese Diet to help curb corruption
The document discusses characteristics needed in the Japanese Diet to help curb corruption, specifically transparency, civic participation, dynamic oversight, and enforcement/prosecution. It argues that an independent anti-corruption commission could help address issues like a lack of transparency in government documents, weak oversight powers of parliamentary committees, and the ability of high-level officials to avoid prosecution. Establishing such a commission would require cultivating civic involvement, international pressure, and political will within the Diet to reform existing weaknesses that enable corruption.
Fd country overview south sudan
This document provides an overview of South Sudan, examining factors that have influenced its adoption of a decentralized legal order and calls for a federal constitution. It discusses South Sudan's social, economic, political and legal foundations, and how power is distributed through a nominally decentralized system that has centralized in practice. It also looks at normative dimensions around decentralization and conflict, calls for a federal constitution, and potential problems with a decentralized system based on literature from other African countries that adopted similar reforms.
