1) Low carbon refers to reducing energy consumption, pollution and emissions through lifestyle changes and economic policies. 2) Pursuing low carbon is important to protect the environment and address issues like air, water and chemical pollution caused by unchecked development. 3) If no action is taken, global temperatures are projected to rise between 0.8-2°C by 2050, increasing risks like heavier rainfall, droughts, and rising sea levels that threaten human health and safety.

1. lOW CARBON

2. Outline prolegomenon what is low carbon why should we do for low carbon how can we do in low carbon expectation

3. prolegomenon LOW CARBON

4. what is low carbon ?

5. Low Carbon contents

6. Low-carbon life means a kind of lifestyle in which people do their best to reduce energy consumption and carbon greenhouse gas emissions Low-carbon economy is an economy model based on low energy consumption, low pollution and low emission. What is Low Carbon Economy? What is Low Carbon Life? why should we pursue low carbon？

7. The reasons for low-carbon life As we all know, there are more and more air pollution ， water pollution ， chemical pollution and so on, which results in a worse and worse living environment. Therefore, we should protect our earth which is the only way t o provide the living environment for human. So , living a low-carbon l ife is very necessary .

8. pollution of the world

9. global and continental temperature change

10. change in temperature sea level and northern hemisphere snow cover

11. geographical pattern of surface warming

12. This is not just a scenery!

14. what will happend? average temperature in the 2050s will have increased by between 0.8℃ and 2℃ winter rainfall in the 2050s will have increased by between 6% and 14% summer rainfall may be reduced by up to 10% by the 2050s sea level wil by between 12cm and 67cm by 2050s

15. With the development of the world industrial economy, the fast increase of population, the unlimited increase of the human desire and the unrestrained production and lifestyle, the human living environment, health and safety are becoming more and more worse what cause these?

16. WHAT cause these? OUR DEVELOPMENT MODE Cheap Fossil Fuel Low Energy Efficien Vul To high oil price High Fossil Fuel Depend Vul to Climate Change Economivulner- ability Ecologic vulner ability MDG in danger Unsustainable Growth

17. So, we can say, the high-consumption and high-pollution economy model and life style is becoming the killer of the earth and human beings. HOW TO CHANGE IT?

18. change Growth Pattern Green Growth Quality of Growth Eco-efficiency Quantity of Growth Grow First, Clean Up Later Market Cost Efficiency

19. one stone two birds

20. low-carbon life is needed by man's own health, harmony between human beings and nature and the development of mankind .

21. what we can do?

22. Firstly, we should recognize that low-carbon life is not only a kind of lifestyle but also life attitude. Each of us is responsible for the greenhouse gases we emit in our daily actions. what we can do?

23. Secondly, we should develop good habits in our daily lives.

24. such as: Using energy-saving bulb Recycling the old battery Turning off the power socket t imely Choosing the bicycles ， bus, and subway instead of car

25. We can select products with longer shelf life when we shop Each week, choose one day when you don't eat meat. We should try not to use papaer cup. how can we live a low-carbon life?

26. print things out only when necessary, and print double-sided and reduce the margins. Only turn the water heater on when necessary, and adjust temperature controls to avoid overheating.

27. We should use efficient light bulbs which use about one-third of the energy of normal bulbs and last 10 times as long. Take showers rather than baths and reduce your shower time .

28. Don't purchase unnecessary clothes, and be careful about the materials you buy. Buses and trains are better than cars, but walking or cycling is better still.

29. Low-carbon life can be summarized as moderate food, house, transportation, more sports and not wasting.

30. All the things above are not difficult for everyone.if any of us aware of the things and just do it.The future of our earth will sure be more beautiful......

32. Thanks!
