Climate change & global warming consequensesVreshgouda Vru
Global warming is caused by increased greenhouse gas concentrations, especially CO2, trapping heat in the lower atmosphere. The main greenhouse gases are CO2, methane, nitrous oxide, CFCs, HFCs, PFCs and sulfur hexafluoride. GHG concentrations have increased substantially since the industrial revolution due to human activities like fossil fuel burning. If emissions continue rising, global temperatures are projected to increase 1-2°C by 2050, causing sea level rise, more extreme weather, and effects on ecosystems, agriculture, human health and settlements worldwide and in India.
The document discusses the difference between global warming and the greenhouse effect. Global warming refers to a rise in the earth's surface temperature, while the greenhouse effect is the process by which heat is trapped in the lower atmosphere by greenhouse gases. It then lists the major human-caused greenhouse gases and their sources, and notes that concentrations of these gases have increased significantly since the industrial revolution due to human activities like burning fossil fuels. The effects of this climate change are described as threats to health, water resources, polar regions, forests and more.

This document summarizes a presentation on climate change science given in Almaty, Kazakhstan in August 2019. It introduces global climate change as significant long-term changes in climate parameters like temperature and weather events. A changing climate leads to more extreme weather and rapid melting of ice. Limiting climate change requires substantial reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. Graphs and maps show warming trends across global temperatures, the Northern Hemisphere, and Central Asian countries from 1901-2018. Climate change is a global challenge that affects all countries through interconnected weather systems.
Global warming is caused by the greenhouse effect trapping heat in the atmosphere due to increasing levels of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide from human activities since the Industrial Revolution. This has led to a rise in global temperatures and is causing severe consequences like sea level rise, more extreme weather events, and effects on ecosystems. While developing countries contribute less greenhouse gas emissions, they are often the most severely impacted. Recommendations to mitigate global warming include reducing fossil fuel usage, transitioning to renewable energy, and developing new technologies.
This document discusses global warming, including its causes, effects, and projections. It begins by defining global warming and the greenhouse effect. It then outlines both natural causes like methane release and man-made causes such as burning fossil fuels. Effects already observed include rising sea levels and impacts on plants and animals. Future predictions include increased temperatures, sea level rise, and species extinction. The document concludes by suggesting precautions like using more efficient vehicles and planting trees to help prevent further global warming.
Urban Heat Island Effect occurs when urban areas become significantly warmer than surrounding rural areas due to human activities and infrastructure that replace open land and vegetation. Impervious surfaces like concrete and asphalt absorb and re-emit more solar radiation than natural landscapes, causing surface and ambient air temperatures to increase in cities. Additional factors like reduced evapotranspiration from plants, waste heat from energy usage, and decreased wind speed between buildings exacerbate the higher temperatures. As temperatures rise, greater air conditioning usage produces more waste heat in a self-perpetuating cycle of increasing the Urban Heat Island Effect.
This document discusses drought, including its causes, types, regions affected, and methods of protection and relief. A drought is defined as an extended period of deficient water supply, either from surface or underground sources. It can last months or years and is caused by consistently low precipitation.

Renewable Energy industry in india – a Path towards SustainabilityDr. Roger Achkar
India has traditionally relied heavily on non-renewable energy sources like coal, but is now shifting towards renewable sources to reduce emissions and tackle climate change. The government has set a target of installing 175 GW of renewable capacity by 2022, including 100 GW of solar and 60 GW of wind. Between 2010-2020, renewable energy consumption grew at a CAGR of 7.96% in India. While non-renewables still dominate energy consumption, the share of renewables has increased from 5.94% to 9.12% in the past decade. As of May 2021, India's total installed renewable capacity was 141.9 GW, with solar and wind being the largest components.
This presentation explores how climate change alters the pursuit of economic development: the transformation of poor economies and their people into prosperous ones.
This is hardly the first attempt to reconcile the climate agenda with that of economic development. The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals are significant for defining a dual agenda where development targets for people and planet sit alongside each other in a unifying framework.1 Much commentary focuses on the compatibility of the two agendas. A radical and specious view pits progress on climate change and economic development as strict substitutes and calls for no less than the unravelling of economic development to save the planet.2 Cooler heads point instead to their complementarity: the critical role of economic development in supporting adaptation and the recognition that investments in the green transition will propel economies rather than sacrifice living standards.3
In contrast, this essay takes as its starting point that the goals and salience of economic development are immutable. The question posed here is how the quest for economic development changes in a world gripped by a changing climate. The essay argues that climate change will force three major changes: a reappraisal of the causes of and prospects for development, the rebirth of the economics of transition, and a reformulation of the problem development is trying to solve. In a final section, it asks what these changes could mean for international security and for the community of national and global actors who set policy and strategy in this field.

The document discusses transitioning to low-emission development. It summarizes that international climate change negotiations aim to establish a new global agreement by 2015 to reduce emissions starting in 2020. Many countries have already developed low-emission development strategies and climate action plans. Transitioning to low-emission development will require significant emission reductions through policies like carbon pricing, clean technology development, reducing deforestation, and changing consumption behaviors. Governments are also promoting energy savings through initiatives like efficiency standards, consumer information programs, and incentives. Rapid urbanization presents both challenges and opportunities for reducing emissions through more sustainable city development.

What Are The Plans of Indonesia to Reduce The Carbon Footprint in The Energy ...Dimas Naufal Al Ghifari
An analysis of Indonesia's readiness in embracing the development of its renewable energy sources in a form of consulting slides. An overview analysis of the present energy situation is established followed by the highlights of the current key renewables-related policies and regulations. Numerous remarks and recommendations are presented at the end.
The COVID-19 lockdown has significantly reduced electricity demand in India, with peak demand down 40% from typical levels. This has led utilities to generate less power, especially from coal plants, resulting in plant load factors decreasing further. The reduced demand and generation is expected to financially impact power distribution companies and coal plant operators due to lost revenue. Other countries like Italy, Australia, and Canada have also seen declines in electricity usage, coal demand and prices during lockdown periods. Global carbon emissions are forecasted to decline 8% in 2020 as energy consumption falls, which would be the largest annual decrease on record.
The document summarizes the key points of the World Energy Outlook 2016 executive summary published by the International Energy Agency.

It then focuses on India's current energy challenges around access, reliance on coal, and emissions. Key actions needed in India are outlined to increase renewable energy capacity and generation from 15 GW currently to 40 GW by 2022 through ambitious government targets. Significant financing challenges are discussed around the high costs of developing India's renewable energy potential given existing conditions.
This document summarizes a research article about strategies for involving small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in energy efficiency programs in Mexico. It finds that while Mexico has existing energy efficiency programs, SME participation is weak due to lack of information, financial support, management skills, and incentives. The document proposes a strategy to better engage SMEs in energy efficiency programs through initial consultations to diagnose opportunities, identify potential savings, and develop customized action plans. The goal is to minimize costs for SMEs and maximize savings from adopting energy efficient practices.

The document discusses money and capital markets. It defines money markets as trading highly liquid short-term products with safety and low returns. Capital markets refer to venues where funds are exchanged between those seeking capital and suppliers of capital like businesses and investors. Capital markets are divided into primary markets where new stocks/bonds are issued, and secondary markets where previously issued securities are traded. The main components of capital markets are the equity market for stocks, debt market for bonds, and derivatives market for financial contracts deriving value from underlying assets. Common capital market instruments include equities like shares, debt securities like bonds and debentures, derivatives like futures and options, and exchange-traded funds.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise stimulates the production of endorphins in the brain which elevate mood and reduce stress levels.
The document summarizes issues with the quality of engineering education in India. It notes that while the number of approved institutions is twice the number of engineering aspirants, ensuring access to affordable, quality education remains a challenge. Of the over 5,900 approved institutions, only 1,249 participated in national rankings, suggesting a dearth of quality programs. To meet the needs and aspirations of students and support national development, the article argues that improving overall education quality across institutions is needed rather than focusing only on increasing seat numbers or intake at existing schools.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

2. • It is evident that the temperature changes are increasing disparities
amongst countries and have economic implications.
• Even though there is an enormous variance in the level of economic
impact that climate change could have, depending on the geography
and the kind of sectors that contribute to the GDP of a country, there
usually are a few kinds of economic costs that are clearly visible:
• Firstly, the long term impact, where climate change could reduce the
productivity/crop yield of any region, which is usually irreversible
• Secondly, the temporary damage done to infrastructure (in case of
floods, cyclones, hurricanes) which has huge costs for reconstruction
• Thirdly, rebuilding power grids that can’t sustain the extreme weather
events (However, this could lead to positive impact in the long run as
the focus shifts to increasing efficiency or finding alternative sources of
energy). These examples showcase the varying degress of the effects
climate change could possibly have.
• According to another study32, the effects of global warming might vary
from time, region, and economic sectors but overall tend to increase.
They are relatively higher for poor African and Asian nations with low
GDP.

Impact of Climate change on sectors of Indian economy
• Agriculture
• Energy
• Insurance
• Tourism
• Human health
• Infrastructure
• ecosystem
• Productivity
• Data , fact & figures
4. IMPACT ON AGRICULTURE
• Agriculture in India accounts for a substantial share in GDP (14%), and an
even larger share in employment (42%). The criticality of the sector can
be judged from the fact that it has a direct bearing on the lives of 1.38
billion people.
• According to the 2011 census, 69% of the population remains rural and
intimately connected to agriculture sector, which provides forward and
backward linkage economy.
• The share of agriculture in overall employment dropped to 42% in 2016
from 70% in 1981.
• The sector’s contribution has had drastic impacts for the past few years
majorly due to unusual rains and frequent droughts. India has experienced
24 large scale droughts from 1891 to 2012 and the frequency has
been ever since increasing.
• Higher temperatures tend to reduce crop yields and favour weed and pest
proliferation. Water is the most critical agricultural input but more than 50%
of the total cultivated areas do not have proper irrigation facilities in
place.
• The negative effects of climate change impact the irrigated crop
yields across agro ecological regions both due to high temperature
and changes in water availability.
5. IMPACT ON AGRICULTURE
• India is the 4th largest emitter of GHG in the world after China, European Union and the
United States.
• The energy sector is by far the largest contributor of GHG emissions, accounting for
about two-thirds of the total emissions.
• There exists a delicate balance between mitigating the harmful emissions produced and
providing access to energy. If coal continues to be the dominant source of power, the
emissions are bound to increase.
• To maintain this delicate balance, India relies on 2 core pillars – Increasing energy efficiency
on both demand and supply side, and promotion of low carbon energy sources such as solar
and wind power. The Government of India has set a target of installing 175 GW of
renewable energy capacity by the year 2022, with 100 GW from solar, 60 GW from
wind, 10 GW from bio-power and 5 GW from small hydro-power, and overall 450 GW
by 2030.
• The amount collected from this tax is deposited in the National Clean Energy Fund. This fund
is to be used to finance and promote clean energy initiatives.
• Further, all new Ultra Mega Power Plants – Plants with more than 4 GW capacity – have
to adopt High Efficiency Low Emission (HELE) technologies. The aim is to have 50%
all Indian coal based fire plants adopt HELE technologies by 2030.
• There is also a trend of thermal power companies also getting involved in the renewable
energy field, such as the TATAs, NTPC and Adani Power about the typical weather
patterns in your country throughout the calendar year.
6. IMPACT ON ENERGY
• India is the 4th largest emitter of GHG in the world after China,
European Union and the United States.
• The energy sector is by far the largest contributor of GHG emissions,
accounting for about two-thirds of the total emissions.
• There exists a delicate balance between mitigating the harmful
emissions produced and providing access to energy.
• If coal continues to be the dominant source of power, the emissions
are bound to increase.
• To maintain this delicate balance, India relies on 2 core pillars –
Increasing energy efficiency on both demand and supply side, and
promotion of low carbon energy sources such as solar and wind
power
• Currently, there are two major drivers of mitigation, one being the ma.
rket forces which are increasingly incentivizing move towards energy
efficiency like the Perform, Achieve and Trade (PAT) which aims to
improve energy efficiency by 1-2% per year for very large energy
intensive industries.
• The second factor is the push to meet India’s NDCs, and the energy
targets adopted. The Government of India has set a target of
installing 175 GW of renewable energy capacity by the year 2022,
with 100 GW from solar, 60 GW from wind, 10 GW from bio-power
and 5 GW from small hydro-power, and overall 450 GW by 2030.
7. IMPACT ON TOURISM
According to World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC), travel and tourism
contributed 9.6% to India’s GDP in 2018 and ranked 7th in the world in terms of
contribution to the GDP.
In 2019, the travel and tourism industry in India contributed around USD 268 billion to
the GDP and roughly 4.2 crore jobs were created in this sector, which accounts for
8.1% of the total employment in the country.
Looking at the growth in this sector, the total contribution by travel and tourism sector
to India’s GDP is expected to increase from INR 15.24 lakh crore (USD 234.03 billion)
in 2017 to INR 32.05 lakh crore (USD 492.21 billion) in 2028.
In 2019, India recorded over 10.89 million foreign tourist arrivals, indicating a 3.2%
growth rate from 201854.
To boost the growth in the Hotel and Tourism sector, cumulative FDI inflow of USD
15.28 billion were received between April 2000 and March 202052 and 100% Foreign
Direct Investment (FDI) is allowed through the automatic route.
In addition to this, a five-year tax holiday has been offered for 2, 3 and 4-star category
hotels located around UNESCO World Heritage sites
India, being a geographically diverse country, has multiple offering for tourists.
However, the sector is highly susceptible to extreme weather events that are caused
due to increasing climate change, with massive impact on infrastructure, requiring
emergency preparedness measures, increasing maintenance costs, and disrupted
commercial activity.
8. CONT..
• The transportation of tourists exposes the industry to the challenge of
finding mechanisms to reduce environmental impacts and carbon dioxide
(CO2) emissions.
• Reductions in seasons (spring and summer) causes losses for certain
types of tourism, especially coastal (sea rise, bleaching and mortality of
coral reefs) destinations.
• On the other hand, loss to mountains (snow melting) is detrimental to the
winter tourism sector.
• Various tourist activities depend on meteorology and climatology and
therefore unfavourable conditions can affect the tourist’s activities,
operations, comforts, and flow of tourist to a large extent.
• The impact worsens due to flight delays, cancellations and re-routing,
affecting tourist movement.
• In terms of radiative forcing, tourism contributes to 4.6% of global
warming. The transport sector, including air, car and rail, generates the
largest proportion, with 75% of all emissions.
• Air travel is responsible for 40% of the total carbon emissions caused by
this sector, and 54-75% of radiative forcing. The accommodation sector
accounts for 20% of emissions through heating, air-conditioning and the
maintenance of accommodation infrastructure. Museums, theme parks,
events or shopping also contribute to roughly 3% of emissions
9. IMPACT ON INSURANCE
• Extreme weather events have become more frequent in
recent years on account of climate change, which results in
losses of billions of dollars.
• For instance, the Kerala floods of 2018 led to about USD 5.6
billion worth of damage.
• Unpredictable weather patterns, with short, intense
monsoons have led to disruption in agriculture. According to
global climate risk index 2020, India suffered an economic
loss of USD 37 billion in 2018 due to climate change.
• Such huge quantum of losses puts substantial pressure on
the insurance sector. While climate change poses a risk for
the sector, it also provides opportunity to reorient the flow of
capital towards climate-resilient investments, thereby making
insurance a potential tool to address climate change issues.
• Innovative insurance products are being developed by World
Bank and IFC in emerging markets.
• In order to tackle the risks of climate change, it is important
to use data analytics to better assess possible impacts of
climate change on the firm, which, in turn, will help insurers
to be better prepared.
10. • Global warming has caused the Indian economy to be 31% smaller.
• Since past, India has suffered severe socio-economic losses due to recurring floods and droughts during boreal
summer and as per IPCC7, India, like other developing nations, is likely to suffer losses in all major sectors of the
economy including energy, transport, agriculture, and tourism. There are around 700 million people residing in rural
areas, dependent on climate sensitive economic sectors like agriculture and forests, fisheries for food and
livelihoods.
• According to World Bank, central districts of India are the most susceptible to climate change damage owing to lack
of infrastructure and agrarian nature3. The report by World Bank states that 7 of the 10 severe hotspot districts are in
the Vidarbha region of Maharashtra. The rest are in Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh.
• In these severe hotspots, the GDP loss could be as high as 9.8% against the national average of 2.8%. The report
estimated the overall loss in national GDP in actual terms could be USD 1,178 billion by 2050 under the carbon-
intensive scenario. In many sectors, high temperatures can make life wretched for workers and decrease their
productivity.
• According to the International Labor Organization, the loss in productivity by 2030 because of heat stress could be
equivalent to India losing 34 million fulltime jobs (up from 15 million in 1995) - the highest among the world’s most
populous nations (ILO 2019)23. According to TERI, desertification, land degradation and drought cost around 2.5%
of GDP in 2014-15
