5. topic 1
The animal kingdom
Global Information System is a computer-based information system that
performs the activities of capturing, storing, manipulating,
analyzing and displaying both spatial and non-spatial data in order to
solve complex research, planning and management problems. It is a
system of hardware and software that performs the above-mentioned
activities on the information about the areas of the earth.

6. topic 2
Remote Sensing
course title
Remote sensing is the acquiring of information from a
distance. NASA observes Earth and other planetary bodies via
remote sensors on satellites and aircraft that detect and
record reflected or emitted energy. Remote sensors, which
provide a global perspective and a wealth of data about Earth
systems, enable data-informed decision making based on the
current and future state of our planet.

7. topic 3
The role of Science and Technology in Climate Change
course title 07
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) using satellite technology can be used
for developing early warning and forecasting systems to reduce and manage
climate-related disaster risk like preparing better prediction of cyclone and
flood tracks, drought events, fire occurrence, as well as helping to be
prepared for actions.
Remote sensing technology can be also useful for post-disaster damage
detection, based on comparative analysis of before and post disaster images.
Remote sensing data and information are also useful for emergency workers.

8. topic 4
Over the past few years, substantial improvements in the
integrated approach to the problem of natural disasters have
been made possible by advancements in the science and
technology of natural hazards and related coping mechanisms.
With the aid of science and technology, we can better
comprehend the workings of natural disasters that have
atmospheric, geological, hydrological, or biological causes. A
systematic system of facts that have been learned through study,
experiments, and observations of floods, severe storms,
earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis, as well
as their effects on humankind and his creations, makes up
scientific knowledge of the violent forces of nature. The basic and
engineering sciences, natural, social, and behavioral sciences are
among the scientific and technology disciplines that are involved.

11. Disaster informatics is the study of the design, development and use of information
and communication technologies by people and organizations to generate, gather,
process, store, and distribute the information required for improving decisions and
actions in the preparation, mitigation, response, and recovery phases
course title 11

12. Informatics
course title
Utilizing the potential and power of
digital technology, informatics
transforms data and information into
knowledge that is used by people
every day. The greatest and most
effective ways for individuals to
interact with technology are made
possible by the heavy emphasis on
how humans utilize computing.

15. Engineering
and Climate
Change
Engineering has
contributed to the
emergency
management field in
two important ways: in
the setting of design
and safety standards,
and the actual design
and construction of
infrastructure used to
prevent damage and
losses caused by
hazards.

16. With strong building
foundation, the risk of
collapsing of any building can
be easily prevented. A
geotechnical engineer is
responsible for the
construction of such high
earthquake resistant
buildings enhancing the
infrastructure.

and Climate
Change
• For the flood control and
destruction of dams, the
hydraulic engineer provides
all the required information
about the various bridges
and dams and advanced
designs for prevention.
• City planners and project
managers study the
vulnerabilities providing
proper guidelines required
for provides rough and
tough infrastructure
withstanding any outer
force.

18. Engineering
and Climate
Change
Role of
Mechanical
Engineers
•Contractors work along with the
structural engineers to produce
shockproof infrastructure right before
the construction of the building.
•The planning of raw steel used in
bridges, tracks, buildings, which kind
of cement to be used is done by the
mechanical engineers.
•Mechanical Quality inspectors are
very important who mainly approve
the work of civil engineers at
construction sites.
•Entire piping and ductwork are
executed by mechanical engineers
which are the critical part in the
erection of infrastructures.

20. ROLES OF ACADEME IN
CLIMATE CHANGE
Universities globally are
increasingly recognizing their
responsibility to prepare
students and society to actively
contribute to the mitigation of
and adaptation to climate
change. This role sees
universities adopting and
promoting carbon neutral
goals and practices

21. ROLES OF ACADEME IN
CLIMATE CHANGE
universities are developing
curricula and pedagogical
approaches to educate
students and by extension
society about the
imperatives of carbon
neutrality and climate
change mitigation and
adaptation.

22. ROLES OF ACADEME IN
CLIMATE CHANGE
HE providers have a vital role
to play in educating future
environmental auditors,
community organizers,
corporate managers,
engineers, practitioners,
technical professionals,
policymakers and, most
significantly, the community
about actions that can be
taken to mitigate and adapt
to climate change, while
concurrently propagating

23. ROLES OF BASIC
EDUCATION IN CLIMATE
CHANGE
Education is an essential
factor in the ever more
urgent global fight against
climate change. Knowledge
regarding this phenomenon
helps young people to
understand and tackle the
consequences of global
warming, encourages them
to change their behavior and
helps them to adapt to what
is already a global
emergency.

25. Build schools that
reflect environmental
principles
Facilities must set an example
and use energy efficiently, by,
for example, using energy from
renewable sources. They must
also promote efficient use of
water and offer opportunities to
interact with the environment.
And they must be robust
enough to withstand extreme
weather events.
