The document discusses the topic of climate change and its health impacts. It defines climate change as long-term changes in weather patterns that can be caused by natural or human factors. Human causes like fossil fuel burning, deforestation and air pollution are the main drivers of increased global temperatures. Rising temperatures are expected to worsen health issues like malnutrition, infectious diseases, and conditions related to extreme weather events. Groups most vulnerable to health effects from climate change include children, the elderly, the poor, and those with pre-existing illnesses. The presentation calls for individual and collective actions to adopt more sustainable lifestyles and switch to renewable energy sources in order to mitigate climate change impacts on human health.
Presentation from a Cary Institute of Ecosystems Studies public forum on climate change by Perry Sheffield, Professor of Pediatrics and Preventative Medicine, Mount Sinai
Climate change is both a development issue and an environmental issue. Developing countries are more vulnerable to climate change than rich countries. CC may be limited to a specific region, or it may occur across the whole Earth.
It can be caused by recurring and cyclical climate patterns.
The causes of climate change are many. There is a need to understand these factors for reducing the effects.

“Change is the Law of Nature”.Climate Change is a reality. It has changed in Past, is changing in Present and will change in Future. The variation and shifts in weather conditions over space and time of different scales and magnitude resulting into
changes of Climatic Type is defined as Climate Change.
The factor that affect climate are,Continental drift,Variation in the earth’s orbit,Plate tectonics,Volcanic activity,Ocean currents,Greenhouse Gases,Atmospheric Aerosols etc. It effect climate in different ways such as Higher Temperatures,Changing Landscapes,Wildlife/Ecosystem at Risk,Ocean acidification /Rising Seas level,Increased Risk of Drought, Fire and Floods,Intensified Storms and Increased Storm Damages,Illness and Disease,Economic Losses,Agriculture Productivity/Food Security etc.

Issues and approaches for Climate Change Adaptation to protect Human Health in Bangladesh. Presented at CBA5 by Dr. Iqbal Kabir Climate Change & Health Protection Unit, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare - Bangladesh
An introduction to some of the health risks associated with climate change. This presentation was part of the provincial researcher workshops conducted as part of the Adapting to Climate Change in China II project.
Contemporary climate change includes both global warming and its impacts on Earth's weather patterns. There have been previous periods of climate change, but the current rise in global average temperature is more rapid and is primarily caused by humans. Burning fossil fuels adds greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, most importantly carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane. Smaller contributions come from agriculture, industrial processes, and forest loss. Greenhouse gases warm the air by absorbing heat radiated by the Earth, trapping the heat near the surface. Greenhouse gas emissions amplify this effect, causing the Earth to take in more energy from sunlight than it can radiate back into space.
Due to climate change, deserts are expanding, while heat waves and wildfires are becoming more common. Increased warming in the Arctic has contributed to melting permafrost, glacial retreat and sea ice loss. Higher temperatures are also causing more intense storms, droughts, and other weather extremes. Rapid environmental change in mountains, coral reefs, and the Arctic is forcing many species to relocate or become extinct. Climate change threatens people with food and water scarcity, increased flooding, extreme heat, more disease, and economic loss. Human migration and conflict can also be a result. The World Health Organization (WHO) calls climate change the greatest threat to global health in the 21st century. Even if efforts to minimise future warming are successful, some effects will continue for centuries. These include sea level rise, and warmer, more acidic oceans.
Many of these impacts are already felt at the current 1.2 °C (2.2 °F) level of warming. Additional warming will increase these impacts and may trigger tipping points, such as the melting of the Greenland ice sheet. Under the 2015 Paris Agreement, nations collectively agreed to keep warming "well under 2 °C". However, with pledges made under the Agreement, global warming would still reach about 2.7 °C (4.9 °F) by the end of the century. Limiting warming to 1.5 °C will require halving emissions by 2030 and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.

0x01 - Newton's Third Law: Static vs. Dynamic AbusersOWASP Beja
f you offer a service on the web, odds are that someone will abuse it. Be it an API, a SaaS, a PaaS, or even a static website, someone somewhere will try to figure out a way to use it to their own needs. In this talk we'll compare measures that are effective against static attackers and how to battle a dynamic attacker who adapts to your counter-measures.

3. What is Climate Change?
o Climate change is the result of long-term
significant changes in our weather patterns.
o In understanding global climate changes it is
necessary to combine many disciplines, including
oceanography, meteorology, geomorphology,
geology and paleoclimatology.
o Climate change can be natural or caused by
changes people have made to the land or
atmosphere.

5. Causes of Climate Interruption
• Major cause of climate change.
• 97% of climate scientists agree
that climate-warming trends over
the past century are very likely
due to human activities.
• Deforestation, Burning of Fossil
Fuels, Air Pollution are the main
results of global warming caused
by humans which eventually
changes the climate.

14. Facts… Urban air
pollution
causes about
1.2 million
deaths every
year.
Rising temperatures and variable
precipitation are likely to decrease the
production of staple foods in many of
the poorest regions – by up to 50% by
2020 in some African countries.This will
increase the prevalence of malnutrition,
which currently cause 3.5 million deaths
every year.
15. Facts…
Studies suggest
that climate
change could
expose an
additional 2
billion people to
dengue
transmission by
the 2080
the modest
warming that
has occurred
since the
1970s was
already causing
over 140 000
excess deaths
annually by the
year 2004
16. What Can We Do?
Think & Share ideas !
Try something on your own !
Reduce, Reuse & Recycle!
Live a Eco-Friendly Life !
17. Use local bus or
bicycle for
movement or
you can even
walk in short
journeys!!
Some Eco-Friendly Examples!
Tropospheric Ozone, or Ground Level ozone, or Bad Ozone-This gas is found in the troposphere, the layer that forms the immediate atmosphere. Bad Ozone does not exist naturally. Human actions (global warming) cause chemical reactions between oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOC) in presence of sunlight which produces it.
This is the effective poster (left side) designed by Fabrica on behalf of the World Health Organization for deployment at the Conference on Climate Change.
Reduce- use of “Green-House Gases”, Polythenes.
Reuse - reuse products like papers, bottles, bags, clothes etc.Recycle- reprocesses & reproduction of products.
Buying from local shops will reduce the use of fuel & keep the environment pollution free.
Cycling not only helps environment but also helps to keep human healthy & reduces the time in traffic
