This document discusses the relationship between the environment and economic development. It covers topics such as sustainable development, environmental accounting, the impact of population growth and poverty on resources, and the tradeoffs between economic growth and environmental degradation. The key issues addressed are how to increase development in developing countries while preserving environmental capital and ensuring patterns of production and consumption are sustainable.
This document summarizes a project implemented in Nyando River Basin in Kenya by VIRED International and CARE Kenya to address flooding issues. The project organized flood control teams, identified vulnerable areas, and implemented both structural measures like drainage canals and non-structural measures like agricultural practices. This reduced displacements by 25% and allowed reclamation of flood plains for agriculture. New crops were successfully grown, demonstrating the project's achievement of its goals. Challenges included political interference and disputes, while successes included community capacity building and linking farmers to markets.
The Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climateipcc-media
The document summarizes key findings from the IPCC Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate. It finds that the ocean and cryosphere have absorbed much of the increased heat from climate change, with consequences including sea level rise, shrinking glaciers and ice sheets, and changes in marine life. These changes threaten coastal communities, water resources, and cultural heritage. Urgent action is needed to address these impacts and transition societies in a sustainable way. Limiting warming to 1.5C would help societies better adapt to inevitable changes.

This document discusses the environmental impacts of flooding on Kosofe Local Government Area of Lagos State, Nigeria. It finds that flooding in the area is caused by factors like poor drainage systems, unapproved development on marginal lands, and blockage of water channels. The flooding has negative effects on the physical, social, and economic conditions of the area. It destroys buildings and infrastructure, disrupts lives and economic activities, and spreads diseases. The study uses remote sensing and geospatial analysis, alongside surveys, to assess the impacts and recommends public awareness programs to address the causes and impacts of flooding in the area.
This document discusses the predicted impacts of climate change on the biodiversity of the Wild Coast region. It is expected that many species will shift their ranges upward in elevation and eastward. Grasslands will be most affected through invasion by savanna tree species and increased bush encroachment, resulting in loss of rangelands. Invasive alien plant species will also spread more due to increased carbon dioxide levels. Forests may expand in some areas but will mostly shrink due to greater fire frequency and human population pressure. Many small mangrove forests will disappear as estuary mouths close off. Climate change will exacerbate existing threats to biodiversity from invasive species, land degradation, deforestation, and unsustainable resource use.

Impacts of Climate Change in Coastal Aquaculture in Bangladeshihn FreeStyle Corp.
Climate change is a change in the statistical distribution of weather over periods of time that range from decades to millions of years. It can be a change in the average weather or a change in the distribution of weather events around an average. Climate change may be limited to a specific region, or may occur across the whole Earth. Climate change may be qualified as anthropogenic climate change, more generally known as "global warming" or "anthropogenic global warming”. Climate change has both direct and indirect impacts on fish stocks which are exploited commercially. Direct effects act on physiology and behavior and alter growth, reproductive capacity, mortality and distribution. Indirect effects alter the productivity, structure and composition of the marine ecosystems on which fish depend for food. However, even though the year-on-year rate of anthropogenic climate change may seem slow, this is very rapid compared with previous natural change and the accumulative value produces a significant difference from the "natural" state quite quickly. Climate change impacts such as more frequent and severe floods and droughts will affect the food and water security of many people.
Bangladesh is thought to be one of the most vulnerable countries of the world to climate change and sea level rise (CCSLR). IPCC estimates predict that due to the impact of climate change, sea level in Bangladesh may rise by 14 cm by 2025, 32cm by 2050 and 88 cm by 2100. There are a number of environmental issues and problems that are hindering development of Bangladesh. Salinity is a current problem, which is expected to exacerbate by climate change and sea level rise. Salinity intrusion due to reduction of freshwater flow from upstream, salinization of groundwater and fluctuation of soil salinity are major concern of Bangladesh. Cyclones and tidal surge is adding to the problem. Tidal surge brings in saline water inside the polders in the coastal area. Due to drainage congestion, the area remains waterlogged, increasing the salinity (Abedin, 2010).
Bangladesh in general is highly vulnerable to predicted climate changes that are already occurring and are expected to continue over the next century. Bangladesh is recognized worldwide as one of the most vulnerable to the impact of global warming and climate change.

Floods can have both advantages and disadvantages. While floods can replenish topsoil and spread plant seeds, they can also be destructive by damaging infrastructure, drowning people and animals, and stranding people. The 2010 floods in Pakistan were some of the worst in the country's history, affecting over 16 million people across four provinces. Causes included heavy monsoon rains, snowmelt, improper drainage systems, and inadequate dam capacity. The floods caused over $10 billion in damages by destroying crops, roads, power infrastructure, and irrigation systems. An integrated flood management plan is needed that combines approaches like constructing dams and reservoirs, improving forecasting systems, regulating development in flood-prone areas, and educating communities.

Small island developing states face significant challenges to managing natural resources and ensuring food security due to climate change impacts like sea level rise, increased temperatures, and more extreme weather. This threatens agriculture, fisheries, and livelihoods. SIDS also struggle with import-reliance, limited land, and competition over land use. To address these issues, SIDS are prioritizing disaster risk reduction, building climate resilience, establishing coordination frameworks, and developing financial mechanisms to support recovery efforts. Partnerships across agencies and internationally are also key to supporting adaptation efforts.

Floods are a common natural disaster in India that occur annually, causing widespread damage to lives and property. Some key points about floods and their management in India include:
- The major flood-prone states are Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Assam, and West Bengal.
- Floods are caused by heavy rainfall, river overflow, coastal flooding, and sometimes dam/reservoir failures. They impact lives, infrastructure, agriculture, and the economy.
- Flood management involves forecasting, structural measures like dams and levees, and non-structural plans to minimize damage and warn communities. Zoning also directs development away from high risk flood areas.

A “drought” is an extended period of deficient rainfall relative to the statistical multi-year average for a region. But because of the various ways it is measured, an objective drought definition has yet to be produced upon which everyone can agree.
The four types are: meteorological (lack of precipitation), agricultural, (lack of moisture in the soil where crops grow), hydrological (low levels of water in lakes and reservoirs), and socioeconomic (water shortages in drinking and running water).
Only .003% of water on Earth is freshwater available for human consumption. Save water by challenging friends to only use 13 gallons of water in a day. (It’s harder than it sounds!) Sign up for 13 Gallon Challenge.
Meteorologists predict drought based on precipitation patterns, stream flow, and moisture of soil over long periods of time.
In the United States, droughts are most likely to occur in the Midwest and the South.

This document discusses natural hazards and focuses on flooding. It defines flooding and describes the different types. The key causes of floods are then explained, including heavy rainfall, snowmelt, and dam failures. The impacts of floods on lives, property, agriculture, and infrastructure are highlighted through several examples. People's perceptions and responses to floods are also examined, ranging from denial and acceptance to attempts to control hazards and their effects. The influences on perception, such as past experiences and socioeconomic factors, are outlined. Prevention methods like forest planting and land use zoning are also mentioned.
This document reports on a project studying sustainable urban planning and global warming. It discusses several issues related to climate change: rising sea levels are causing problems for coastal cities; climate change is increasing both natural disasters like storms as well as temperatures and climate change impacts. Human activities like fossil fuel use are the main driver of increased greenhouse gases, trapping more heat and warming the planet. Higher temperatures and sea levels will significantly impact coastal areas through increased flooding, erosion, damage to infrastructure and intrusion of saltwater into freshwater supplies.

Structural measures like dams and non-structural measures like insurance and education are discussed.
Presentation: Potential Impact of Climate Change on the EconomyBosco Hitimana
Climate change is expected to have significant negative economic impacts in Africa through effects on key sectors like agriculture, infrastructure, health and tourism. Agriculture will be affected by changes in rainfall patterns, rising temperatures, and more extreme weather events, leading to lower crop yields and food insecurity. Infrastructure like roads, ports and buildings will face greater damage from sea level rise, flooding and storms. Health risks will increase as vector-borne diseases spread to new areas. Tourism may decline due to habitat loss and changes in attractions. These impacts will be exacerbated by factors like poverty and population growth. The costs of climate change for Africa could exceed $40 million annually for Rwanda alone. Building resilience through adaptation measures in sectors like early warning systems,
This document provides information about floods, including what causes floods, types of floods, and cities that are prone to flooding. It discusses that floods are large amounts of water overflowing onto dry land. They can be caused by heavy rainfall, snowmelt, storm surge, or the failure of man-made structures like dams and levees. Cities located in low-lying areas, near water bodies, or with low permeability surfaces are more at risk of flooding. The document also examines flash floods, river floods, and coastal floods in more detail.
Flooding occurs somewhere in the world approximately 10,000 times every day as the consequences of a locale having more water than the local water cycle can process within its physical limits. Floods occur as the result of: extreme levels of , precipitation in thunderstorms, tropical storms, typhoons, hurricanes, and cyclones; in storm surges, and in tsunami wave run up. What have we learned from recent floods to increase survivability and decrease socioeconomic losses? First of all, the timing of anticipatory actions is vital. People who know: 1) what to expect (e.g., inundation from extreme precipitation, storm surge, tsunami wave run up), 2) where and when impacts will happen, and 3) what they should (and should not) do to prepare for them will survive. Secondly, timely, realistic disaster scenarios save lives. The people who have timely, realistic, advance information that facilitates reduction of vulnerabilities, and hence the risks will survive. Thirdly, Emergency preparedness and response saves lives. The timing of emergency response operations, especially the search and rescue operations that are limited to “the golden 48 hours" will increase the likelihood of survival. The local community’s capacity for emergency health care (i,e., coping with damaged hospitals and medical facilities, lack of clean drinking water, food, and medicine to treat water borne diseases, and high levels of morbidity and mortality) is vital for survival. The local community’s capacity for emergency health care (i,e., coping with damaged hospitals and medical facilities, lack of clean drinking water, food, and medicine, and high levels of morbidity and mortality) is vital for survival. And finally, engineered infrastructure save lives. Infrastructure engineered to withstand the risks from floods (e.g., damage, failure, and loss of function), is vital for survival. We continue to operate with a flawed premise: knowledge from flood disasters, which occur every day somewhere in the world in association with rain, severe windstorms, and tsunamis, is enough to make any nation adopt and implement policies to facilitate disaster resilience. Unfortunately, the fact of the matter is, global construction in the flood plain of rivers and along coastal areas is extensive; the associated political controversy causes most nations to be slow to adopt and implement policies for flood disaster resilience.

The document summarizes the causes and impacts of flooding in Bangladesh. It discusses both human and physical factors that contribute to floods, including deforestation, urbanization, and geography as the country is located in a huge delta with many rivers. Major floods in 1998 had devastating impacts, displacing many people and damaging homes and infrastructure. In response, the Bangladeshi government and other countries provided emergency relief while aid organizations addressed health and sanitation needs. Long-term solutions to better manage floods are still a challenge.
Climate change is affecting Small Island Developing States through rising sea levels, stronger storms, changes to agriculture and fisheries, and damage to infrastructure.

The document outlines the syllabus for the course CS-1122 – Environmental Studies. It includes 5 units covering topics like natural resources, ecosystems, environmental pollution, social issues, and human population. It also lists 6 recommended textbooks. A sample unit on introduction to environmental studies is then presented, discussing the global environmental crisis, sustainable development, and the scope of environmental studies. Two case studies from India illustrate the impacts of environmental degradation - the vanishing islands in Sundarbans due to climate change, and the transformation of Kalahandi district from forests to famine. Exponential growth curves are used to show how population, consumption, CO2 levels, and extinction rates are increasing unsustainably and threatening the environment.
Environment means the surroundings or conditions of life, may be social, political, economic, cultural, natural etc.
Natural resources are used with other man made resources in order to produce goods in agriculture, industry or other spheres of economic activity.
This document discusses connecting people with nature on World Environment Day 2017. It begins by defining nature and explaining why connecting people to nature is important to maintain ecological balance and prevent issues like habitat loss, species extinction, and rising costs of living. It then discusses who needs to connect with nature, namely the global human population, and how this can be done through education, protected area systems, zoos, and ecotourism. The document also addresses threats to nature from human activities like pollution, climate change, and modern biotechnology, and the need for policies and regulations to promote biodiversity conservation.

UNICEF is observing impacts of climate change in East Asia and the Pacific region. Temperatures have risen 0.74°C in the past century and are projected to increase further. Evidence also shows rising sea levels, changes in sea ice and arctic temperatures. Countries like Mongolia, Indonesia, the Philippines and Pacific Islands are experiencing effects like declines in grasslands and forests, changes in rainfall patterns, rising sea levels and temperatures. If emissions continue, the region will likely see more frequent heavy rainfall, heat waves and sea level rise. This poses risks to natural resources, infrastructure and access to water and sanitation. UNICEF is working with countries to assess impacts, strengthen policies and build resilience in the water, san
Global environmental and social problems are symptoms of unsustainable human lifestyles and population growth. The document discusses the current global crisis in terms of climate change due to greenhouse gas emissions. It proposes addressing this at the individual level through adopting a simple, sustainable lifestyle as taught by Buddha - moderate views and actions that avoid extremes. Living according to Buddhist principles like the Noble Eightfold Path can help create a more just and harmonious world for all.
1) The document discusses the effect of climate change on water related disasters in Indonesia. It notes that climate change has led to increasing temperatures, more intense rainfall, rising sea levels and more extreme conditions like flooding and drought.
2) It outlines Indonesia's water resources law and the government's holistic approach to integrated water resources management that includes conservation, utilization and disaster control.
3) The document proposes strategies for mitigating and adapting to climate change impacts like improving water infrastructure, reforestation, and water management.
The document discusses the relationship between climate change and the ocean. It notes that the ocean absorbs over 30% of carbon dioxide emissions, which is causing the ocean to warm and become more acidic. This is negatively impacting ocean ecosystems and species. Species are migrating to new areas as the climate changes, which could create international issues. Addressing climate change will require significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions globally through policies like the Paris Agreement. Protecting coastal ecosystems like mangroves and seagrasses can also help mitigate climate change by storing carbon.

The document discusses several ways that climate change is negatively impacting the oceans, including increasing ocean temperatures, acidification, sea level rise, and changes to ocean circulation patterns. These changes are disrupting ecosystems and threatening coral reefs and coastal communities. The oceans have absorbed over 90% of the increased atmospheric heat from climate change and are experiencing impacts that range from rising sea levels and stronger storms to changing ocean circulation currents and increasing acidification levels. If greenhouse gas emissions continue at their current rate, we risk losing coral reefs entirely within the next 20-30 years.
The Climate Change Action Plan in Bangladesh is built around six pillars to help the country adapt to climate change impacts. The pillars include ensuring food security and health care for vulnerable groups; strengthening disaster management; building and maintaining infrastructure like embankments; increasing research and knowledge sharing; promoting low-carbon development; and building institutional capacity across government, civil society and the private sector. Some examples of adaptation measures Bangladesh is taking include helping people increase income through alternative livelihoods like household vegetable farming and developing rice species that are tolerant of saltwater intrusion.

The document discusses the impacts of climate change on coastal systems and communities. It notes that sea level rise, increased storm intensity, and changes in weather patterns will exacerbate erosion, damage infrastructure, and displace coastal plant and animal communities. Vulnerable areas include densely populated mega deltas, coral reefs, and small islands. Adaptation strategies discussed include protecting coastal zones, accommodating rising seas through land use planning, and developing financial protections like insurance. The document emphasizes the need for coordinated global action to mitigate further climate change through measures like reducing greenhouse gas emissions and transitioning to renewable energy sources.
The presentation analyses the causative factors, phenomenon and effects of global warming and tries to find answers to this perplexing problem facing mankind
Marine pollution threatens ocean ecosystems and human uses of the ocean. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Marine Debris Program aims to investigate, solve problems, and protect marine environments from debris. Major sources of marine pollution include debris from the 2011 Japan tsunami and polluted urban runoff. Solutions involve cleanups, education, improved waste management, and recycling programs like Fishing for Energy that convert discarded fishing nets into energy. Preventing marine pollution benefits ocean life, coastal communities, and continues human enjoyment of ocean resources.
Natural disasters have been increasing globally, causing tens of thousands of deaths and billions in losses annually. Climate change is expected to exacerbate some natural hazards through interactions like rising sea levels and changes in weather patterns from global warming. The number of recorded natural disasters has risen from fewer than 100 in 1975 to over 400 in 2005. Upcoming effects may include more intense tropical storms interacting with coastal development, and agricultural areas becoming more susceptible to drought or floods due to pressure from urbanization and climate alteration.

The petitioner owns a landed property in Nadama Village comprised of resurvey number 46. After a resurvey, the actual extent of the property was found to be 11.56 acres rather than the previously recorded 8.39 acres. However, the petitioner is only being charged basic tax on 8.39 acres. Relying on reports from the Village Officer and puramboke register, the petitioner argued the entire 11.56 acres should be recognized as her property. The court directed the revenue authorities to accept basic tax on the full 11.56 acres and update relevant records accordingly.

Mitigation Methods
Soil Slope Stabilization
Stability increases when ground water is prevented from rising in the slide mass bydirecting
surface water away from the landslide, Draining ground water away from the landslide to
reduce the potential for a rise in ground-water level, Covering the landslide with an
impermeable membrane, and (or) minimizing surface irrigation. Slope stability is also increased
when weight or retaining structures are placed at the toe of the landslide or when mass
(weight) is removed from the head of the slope.

Wetlands & Climate Change
Wetlands are at risk of rapidly declining in quantity and quality due
to impacts associated with climate change. However, wetlands also
provide an effective strategy for mitigating and adapting to the
impacts of climate change. Sea level rise, carbon sequestration, and
invasive species are among the many topics in recent discussions
about wetlands and climate change.
The role of wetlands in sequestering and releasing greenhouse
gases is complex. Wetlands are huge repositories of carbon
worldwide an estimated 500-700 GT globally which is similar in
magnitude to the total amount of atmospheric carbon.
