The document discusses global climate change and the impact of human activity. It notes that the world population grew from 1 billion in 1804 to 7 billion in 2011. It then explains that our industrial economy relies on burning fossil fuels for electricity production, manufacturing, and transportation, which is warming the planet. As more people adopt Western lifestyles, such as increased car ownership in China, it will exacerbate climate change effects like rising sea levels, stronger storms, droughts and wildfires. The document warns that transitioning away from fossil fuels to address this issue will be very challenging and require global cooperation.

Learning Event No. 1, Session 4: Phalan - Assessing Land-Use Strategies. ARDD...CCAFS | CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security
This document summarizes a presentation about assessing land-use strategies for food production and biodiversity conservation in India and Ghana. It discusses the land-use cascade as agricultural development accelerates the conversion of natural habitats to more intensive uses. Biodiversity conservation aims to slow this process down. The presentation examines measuring food yields versus the number of species supported to understand trade-offs between land sparing and land sharing approaches. It concludes that no single land use can achieve all goals and better understanding is needed of how approaches could be combined, as well as risks and how land sparing may work in practice.What High School Students Can Do about Climate Change
This document provides information about global warming in California and actions high school students can take to address it. It discusses how most of the world's glaciers are shrinking and climate change is impacting California through higher temperatures, especially in agricultural regions, and rising sea levels that could flood coastal cities. The document emphasizes that the impacts of climate change are already being felt and that further changes may become irreversible. It identifies some of the main contributors to an individual's carbon footprint and suggests actions students can take to reduce their footprint, such as using less energy at home and starting related service projects.
climate change Effects of on education
Climate change is affecting education in several ways. Infrastructure like schools and bridges are being destroyed by heavy rains and flooding. Droughts are causing agricultural failure and food shortages, limiting families' ability to pay school fees. High temperatures make it difficult for students and teachers to concentrate. Energy deficits from drought-reduced hydroelectric power cause school blackouts. Rising diseases like malaria pose health threats. Climate change is also leading to changes in geographic and climatic concepts taught in schools.

Climate change
The document discusses the impacts of climate change on fruit production of the Rosaceae family. It begins with introducing climate change and its causes. It then examines how various climatic factors like temperature, rainfall, humidity, wind and frost affect fruit production. Increased temperatures can inhibit growth and development or promote pest and disease incidence. Changes in rainfall patterns also impact fruit crops. The document analyzes specific impacts like shifts in suitable cropping areas and changes in apple production and diversity in the Kullu valley of India. It provides evidence that temperature and rainfall trends have negatively impacted apple crops in the region. Finally, it discusses results of a study on fruit set and yield of apricot cultivars in Turkey's changing subtropical climate.

47004 global issues_presentation_1
Climate change is a major issue in Egypt that threatens the country's livelihood and economy. The majority of Egypt's population lives in high density areas along the Nile River, leading to high levels of pollution. Rising sea levels could flood large areas of farmland and displace many villages. While the Egyptian government attends international climate summits, it lacks a national policy to prevent climate change. Individual actions like conserving energy and reducing car usage can help lower carbon footprints and mitigate the threats from climate change.

International Waste Management; Crisis and Opportunity by David Brown
A slow motion but relentless environmental economic crisis is underway in many countries as vast quantities of natural resources are transformed into industrial and consumer products with short life spans, no clear pathway for reuse or recycling once discarded and a high likelihood of causing environmental harm when sent for disposal.
In this talk I examine how in some developing countries the speed of industrialisation and rise of consumption has out-stripped the ability or willingness of authorities to manage the surge in waste that accompanies this break-neck change.
I’ll give specific examples and disturbing photographs will highlight the scale of the challenge facing some governments and communities and attention will need to be paid to the aggregate impact on the world’s oceans which often represent the ultimate sink for our unwanted wastes.
By looking at the correlation between income and waste production per head the rapid trend to an even more wasteful and unsustainable global economic system can be explored.
Realisation of the risks posed by ineffective waste management is now recognised by more governments and all around the world there are examples of increasingly educated communities challenging their governments to act or taking direct constructive action themselves. It is hoped that rising environmental awareness from citizens, the economic imperatives of business and the impact of pressure and local community action groups will cumulatively result in future improvements. The empowerment of populations caused by the spread of modern communications, better access to education and tools such as social media can cumulatively drive the management of wastes on to a more sustainable footing across ever greater areas of the world.
We all need to know how we can contribute. I’ll give examples of progress in Derbyshire will be s well as examples of the benefits that can result from often simple changes in consumer choices and behaviour here in the UK.
I can’t remember when I haven’t been obsessed with waste. When I was five or six I drew a dump of tea in my art lesson and there has been no looking back since then. I spent many a (not so) pleasurable hour in a past job walking around land fill sites. Consequently, with colleagues, I now run a Recycling Road Show in Derbyshire, an initiative of Derbyshire County Council. I do have a life beyond waste, I really do; this is my waste related biography.

policy speech outline
I. Krissy Waterman gave a speech about how littering is a serious problem in Indiana and proposed solutions to address it. Indiana ranks as the third dirtiest state and littering harms wildlife and costs taxpayers money.
II. Krissy proposed two solutions - making household cleanups of a one mile radius mandatory once a year and allowing inmates to participate in litter cleanup. Both would reduce costs and increase responsibility and environmental health.
III. A cleaner environment would benefit the economy, wildlife, and quality of life. Individual actions like not littering and community cleanups can make a significant impact on reducing trash.
Energy Conservation.ppt
The document discusses the issue of energy conservation and proposes several recommendations. It notes that Tom woke up cold without heat due to a lack of coal, natural gas, and electricity. Shortages can negatively impact transportation, education, and the economy. The rising costs of resources like gas and the effects of global warming underscore the need for individuals and society to make concerted efforts to conserve energy through various means like living closer to work, taking environmental education classes, and implementing school programs to teach children about conservation.
Protecting The Environment Widescreen
The document discusses various aspects of environmental protection and sustainability. It begins by outlining how the modern consumer economy functions through extraction of natural resources, production, distribution and waste. This linear system ignores environmental costs. It then describes how products have short designed lifecycles which maximize consumption and waste. This global system has led to toxic pollution and climate change. The document concludes by proposing solutions like renewable energy, zero waste initiatives, take-back laws for recycling, local economies and corporate social responsibility.
Forward Green Drinks Presso
This presentation discusses energy and its global implications, as well as challenges and opportunities for Singapore.
Age of Sustainable Development
The document discusses sustainable development and the challenges facing the world. It notes that the world population has grown 7-fold since the industrial revolution to over 7 billion currently and is still rising. It defines sustainable development as understanding how economic, social, environmental and political factors intersect to achieve prosperity, equality, and environmental sustainability. It outlines two paths - continuing on the current path risks crossing environmental boundaries, while sustainable development aims to meet needs within planetary limitations through solutions like smart cities, clean energy, and sustainable agriculture.

- 2. Lesson #1: 1 billion 1804 There are a lot of people and we got here fast! 2 billion 1927 3 billion 1960 4 billion 1974 5 billion 1988 6 billion 1999 7 billion 2011
- 3. Lesson #2: Our Industrial Economy is warming the planet! • In the US, we generate most of our electricity from burning fossil fuels • Factories burn fossil fuels to make our stuff • We use fossil fuels in cars, trucks, ships, trains and planes to move ourselves around and to deliver our stuff What human activity is most responsible for warming the planet?
- 4. Lesson #3: Remember all of those people from lesson #1? More and more of them are adopting our lifestyle! Here’s one example: How many cars have been added to China’s streets since 1990? In the US, there are 78 cars per 100 people. In China today, there are less than 7 but growing!
- 5. Lesson #4: What are the consequences of Climate Change? Watch this clip, and see if you can catch the FIVE consequences of climate change that are mentioned.
- 6. Lesson #5: Here are three scary numbers! Watch this clip from the same video, and see if you can explain these 3 scary numbers.
- 7. Lesson #6: Yikes – there’s no easy way out! • Can you see why these numbers are scary? • It will take working together, determination, …it will take a movement! The message of the film is that it is time to totally change our fossil-fuel- based economy which will take all of us to force the government and corporations to act.
