This document summarizes factors that make Zambia vulnerable to climate change according to a group presentation. It defines key terms like climate change and vulnerability. The main factors discussed are atmospheric emissions from fossil fuel combustion, land degradation through deforestation and unsustainable farming, and fertilizer use. Deforestation increases carbon dioxide and land degradation alters ecosystems and vegetation, releasing more greenhouse gases. These activities are accelerating climate change impacts on Zambia's agriculture and environment.
Out of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, Goal-13 targets Climate Action, raising awareness on the everyday rise of global temperature along with increased Air Pollution, which in return becomes the leading cause of acid rains, and ways to tackle it. Also, it targets reducing annual plastic waste , deforestation, annual floods and to control industrialization.

Did you know? A lot of evidence indicates that we are destroying the foundations of human life in our quest for prosperity. Yes, it’s true that we have become masters of the planet, but at the same time we have become the terror of the ecosystem. In fact, over the past few hundred years, we have been disturbing the ecological equilibrium of the planet to such an extent that the ability of the planet’s ecosystem to sustain future generations can no longer be taken for granted.
Maybe it's time to remember a fact that is so obvious it's easy to forget. We all depend on the natural resources of this planet for our livelihoods. The food we eat, the water we drink, the air we breath, the fuel we use, the timber in our house, the fibers in our cloth, are all products of Earths natural ecosystems. Honouring these systems will ensure our continued prosperity and well being. It's simple as this: if we look after nature, it will look after us.

Climate Change is the defining issue of our time. From shifting weather patterns that threaten food production, to rising sea levels that increase the risk of catastrophic flooding, the impacts of climate change are global in scope and unprecedented in scale. Without drastic action today, adapting to these impacts in the future will be more difficult and costly (United Nations).

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.

Diabetes is a rapidly and serious health problem in Pakistan. This chronic condition is associated with serious long-term complications, including higher risk of heart disease and stroke. Aggressive treatment of hypertension and hyperlipideamia can result in a substantial reduction in cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes 1. Consequently pharmacist-led diabetes cardiovascular risk (DCVR) clinics have been established in both primary and secondary care sites in NHS Lothian during the past five years. An audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery at the clinics was conducted in order to evaluate practice and to standardize the pharmacists’ documentation of outcomes. Pharmaceutical care issues (PCI) and patient details were collected both prospectively and retrospectively from three DCVR clinics. The PCI`s were categorized according to a triangularised system consisting of multiple categories. These were ‘checks’, ‘changes’ (‘change in drug therapy process’ and ‘change in drug therapy’), ‘drug therapy problems’ and ‘quality assurance descriptors’ (‘timer perspective’ and ‘degree of change’). A verified medication assessment tool (MAT) for patients with chronic cardiovascular disease was applied to the patients from one of the clinics. The tool was used to quantify PCI`s and pharmacist actions that were centered on implementing or enforcing clinical guideline standards. A database was developed to be used as an assessment tool and to standardize the documentation of achievement of outcomes. Feedback on the audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery and the database was received from the DCVR clinic pharmacist at a focus group meeting.
UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

3. Climate change can be argued to be the most pervasive
and far-reaching environmental issue ever dealt with by
the international community
The last decade of the 20th Century and the beginning of
the 21st century have been the warmest periods in the
entire global instrumental temperature record (IPCC
2013).
Current climatic variation has significant impacts on the
social, economic and environment of nations (Tom T. and
Lynne L. 2016)

4. Current climatic variation has significant impacts on the
following:
Agricultural production
Constraining agricultural income and
The risks of future climatic changes such as:
higher temperatures,
changes in precipitation and
increased climate variability
can result in significant impacts on agriculture and rural
livelihoods.
4
5. Climate change: A change in either the mean state of the
climate or in its variability persisting for several decades or
longer (1PCC, 2013) and is directly or indirectly linked to
human activity (UNFCCC 1992).
Vulnerability: Degree to which a system is susceptible to,
or unable to cope with, adverse effects of climate change,
including climate variability and extremes” (IPCC 2013)

6. According to Zambia’s Environmental Outlook (2008),the
main factors contributing to making Zambia’s vulnerable to
Climate change are -
I. Atmospheric Emissions &
II. Land degradation

C I F O R
7. The burning of fossil fuels is the major contributor to human-
caused climate change in Zambia (ZEO 2008).
Diesel power generation stations. E,g Mwinilunga &
Kabompo (ERB, 2010)
SO2 emissions: mine & industrial processes and
NH3 emission: Agriculture activities
CO2 emissions lead to an increase in the normal atmospheric
CO2 which also leads to an increase in other GHGs
7
8. 2.1 Deforestation
Deforestation increases the amount CO2 in the atmosphere due
to loss in trees to absorb CO2.
Deforestation has been accelerated due to the demand for:
Fuel wood
Timber for construction and
Unsustainable farming

9. NOx is emitted as humans use fertilizers
In Zambia both smallholder and commercial (esp.) farmers
use huge amounts fertilizers to produce their crops.
There’s an increase in the use of fertiliser along the line of
rail
This increases the percentage of GHGs in the atmosphere
and makes Zambia more vulnerable to climate change
9
2. Land degradation (2)
11. • Quarrying,
• waste disposal
• Communal ownership of land.
• Settlements
• Severe or late fires are destructive to forests.
When ecosystems are altered and vegetation is either
burned or removed, the carbon stored in them is
released to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.
11
12. Anthropogenic activities result in emissions of four
principal greenhouse gases:
Carbon dioxide, Methane and nitrous oxide
The halocarbons (a group of gases containing fluorine,
chlorine and bromine)
These gases accumulate in the atmosphere, causing
concentrations increase with time.
In turn these gases make the earth warmer than it would
normally be leading to Global warming
