Global warming refers to the increase in average temperatures of the Earth's atmosphere and oceans since the mid-20th century. According to the IPCC, global surface temperatures increased 0.74°C over the 20th century. Climate change is defined as a long-term change in weather patterns over decades to millions of years that may be natural or human-caused. The Copenhagen Climate Summit brought together 193 countries to forge an agreement to mitigate global warming but they only agreed to "take note" of the eventual accord between China, US, Brazil, India and South Africa which was deemed insufficient.

4 responses to climate change
The document outlines responses to climate change from local to global scales, including:
1) At the global scale, meetings like the Kyoto Protocol and Rio Earth Summit aimed to set emissions targets and agreements between world superpowers.
2) National and local governments, companies, NGOs, schools, and community groups all play roles in enacting climate policies and promoting sustainable practices.
3) Individual actions like "living simply" and local interest groups add up to meaningful climate responses across scales.
Global Environmental Politics
The document discusses several topics related to global environmental politics and climate change, including:
1) It provides background on climate change science and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
2) It examines the impacts of climate change such as increased hurricane intensity and risks to health, as well as potential economic costs of climate change impacts.
3) It reviews two major international agreements - the Montreal Protocol which regulated ozone depleting substances and the Kyoto Protocol which aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Key aspects of these agreements and their relative success are summarized.
Climate Change - Challenges for Development, Ethical Considerations...
The document discusses climate change and the need for climate justice from a faith perspective. It provides background on climate change, its causes, and visible consequences. It frames climate change as a moral issue that threatens the most vulnerable. Actions are needed at both individual and structural levels to mitigate further impacts and advocate for policies that limit warming and support developing countries in adapting to impacts.
Lecture4(1)
This document summarizes the key impacts of climate change, including increased flooding from sea level rise and stronger storms, more frequent and severe heat waves and droughts, threats to public health and biodiversity, and disruptions to agriculture. Coastal communities like Bangladesh are particularly at risk from sea level rise and stronger storms, which could displace millions of people. While higher CO2 levels may initially boost crop yields, warming beyond 2°C could significantly reduce global food production as extreme weather events increase. The impacts will also disproportionately affect the world's poorest populations.
Extinction Rebellion: Understanding, declaring and acting upon a climate emer...
The document discusses the climate emergency based on scientific reports and data. It makes three key points:
1) Scientific reports from the UN's IPCC state that global warming must be limited to 1.5 degrees Celsius to avoid severe consequences for humanity. Current policies are insufficient to meet the UN's recommendations.
2) Scientific data shows that climate change impacts like Arctic ice melt and record high temperatures are occurring at a much faster rate than predicted. Positive climate feedback loops may be accelerating global warming.
3) Urgent action is needed to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions to near zero globally by 2040 in order to avert catastrophic effects of climate change by 2100 like widespread habitat loss and species extinction.
Extinction Rebellion Climate Science Saddleworth Presentation
The presentation covers the climate emergency, the threats posed by climate change including mass extinction, the solutions available to address it, and the work of Extinction Rebellion. It urges action such as joining Extinction Rebellion, and provides suggestions for immediate actions individuals can take to help address the crisis.

Philstar Climate Change Mitigation Needed
World leaders are negotiating a new global treaty on climate change to reduce carbon emissions and replace the Kyoto Protocol. The Philippine government wants industrialized nations to commit to deep cuts in emissions of over 30% by 2017 and 50% by 2022 to prevent worsening effects of climate change like rising sea levels from sinking the Philippines. Already, 14 provinces in the Philippines are considered highly vulnerable to climate hazards like storms due to exposure and low adaptive capacity. On Earth Day, environmental groups criticized the Philippine government for policies they say fail to adequately address climate change and even make it worse, such as permitting large-scale logging and mining.
Cop 19
The document discusses the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). It was created in 1992 at the Rio Earth Summit to stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations and prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system. Nearly every country is party to the UNFCCC, which meets annually to assess climate change progress. The Kyoto Protocol was adopted under the UNFCCC in 1997 and established emissions reduction obligations for developed countries. The goal of the UNFCCC process is for universal participation to efficiently limit future global warming below 2.0°C through a new legally binding climate agreement.

Climate Change
Climate Change is the defining issue of our time. From shifting weather patterns that threaten food production, to rising sea levels that increase the risk of catastrophic flooding, the impacts of climate change are global in scope and unprecedented in scale. Without drastic action today, adapting to these impacts in the future will be more difficult and costly (United Nations).

Climate Basics
This presentation is linked the the WIll Steger Foundation's Our Changing Climate Curriculum Guide and presents an overview of the basics of climate change.
Diapositivas calentamiento global
Global warming refers to the observed increase in average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and oceans. Large chunks of Antarctic ice have recently broken off due to rising temperatures, reducing the size of the frozen continent. Several measures have been proposed to mitigate or adapt to climate change effects, including the Kyoto Protocol which aims to stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations. The greenhouse effect retains solar heat in the atmosphere, resulting in an average surface temperature of around 60°F and conditions suitable for life. Recommendations to reduce impacts include using fluorescent bulbs, limiting water and car use, recycling paper, and walking or taking public transit.
ARTICLE by SANYOKTA
Deforestation refers to the cutting down of trees without replanting new saplings, which is occurring at an alarming rate for various reasons. It has serious negative effects on the environment like reduced rainfall, increased temperatures and habitat loss. Some solutions include increasing public awareness, encouraging alternative energy sources to reduce dependence on forests as fuel, controlling overgrazing and shifting cultivation, large-scale afforestation programs, and considering environmental impacts in development projects. Everyone must work together to address deforestation through awareness campaigns, policy changes, and tree planting initiatives.
Copenhagen summit
The 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference, also known as the Copenhagen Summit, was held from December 7-18 at the Bella Center in Copenhagen, Denmark and brought together one of the largest gatherings of world leaders. The summit aimed to establish commitments on temperature rise limits, provide financial aid to developing nations, and increase emissions transparency but faced drawbacks as key governments did not want a binding global deal, it did not establish commitments to emissions reductions, and issues with the host government.
Climate change
Climate change refers to changes in global weather patterns caused by human activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation. This releases greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide that trap heat in the atmosphere. The Philippines has implemented several programs and passed laws to respond to climate change impacts like rising seas and more extreme weather. Programs educate people on environmental protection, promote reforestation and clean energy to reduce emissions. Laws regulate pollution, mining practices, and solid waste management to mitigate climate change impacts on health, agriculture and ecosystems in the Philippines.
Global Warming Report
Global warming poses risks to U.S. agriculture according to a report prepared for the USDA. Rising carbon dioxide levels from fossil fuel use and land exploitation are linked to climate changes that can damage crops. A temperature rise of 5 degrees over the next 30-50 years could cost the U.S. agriculture sector $15-30 billion annually in damaged crops. While some crops like wheat may benefit, other grains and livestock are expected to be harmed. The report examines the political debates around responses to climate change and outlines the human activities and gases that contribute to the greenhouse effect.

This document discusses discrete mathematical structures including groups, semigroups, monoids, and permutation groups. It provides examples and definitions of each structure. Groups are defined as sets with a binary operation that satisfy closure, associativity, identity, and inverse properties. Semigroups only require closure and associativity. Monoids additionally require an identity element. Permutation groups are the set of all bijections of a finite set.
Social networking
Social networks can be described as connections between individuals, organizations, or other entities. They involve nodes that represent people or groups linked together in some way. Social network analysis maps and measures these relationships to understand flows of information and knowledge between connected entities. Social networking technologies like email, blogs, and sites like LinkedIn and Orkut enable the creation and maintenance of online social networks, but they also present disadvantages like lack of anonymity, security risks, and the potential to become time consuming.

Global warming refers to the long-term rise in the average temperature of the Earth's climate system. According to the IPCC, the average global surface temperature increased by 0.74°C over the 20th century due to human emissions of greenhouse gases. Climate change describes long-term shifts in weather patterns caused by both natural factors and human activities like burning fossil fuels. The Copenhagen Climate Summit brought 193 countries together to forge an agreement to limit global temperature rise to 2°C through emissions reductions, but the final accord lacked enforcement mechanisms. Developing countries argue they should prioritize poverty reduction over emissions cuts, while developed nations want commitments from large emerging economies like China and India.

Climate change and Public Health in Nepal
Climate change is an acute threat to global development and efforts to end poverty. Without urgent action, climate impacts could push an additional 100 million people into poverty by 2030.
2016 was the hottest year since record-keeping began, and in November 2016 the UN announced that global temperatures have risen 1.2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
The impact of extreme natural disasters is equivalent to a $520 billion loss in annual consumption, and forces some 26 million people into poverty each year.

Introduction
Over the years, climate change has been the biggest problem the facing the world today. One of the main causes of climate change is as a result of the effects of human activities. One of the aspects that are used to measure climate change is global warming. This phenomenon, which measures the rise in global temperature levels, has already begun. Since 1900; the global temperature has risen by 0.7 degrees Celsius (Mathez, 2009). It is very important that all governing bodies need to pull forces together in order to reduce the effects of climate change in the world. Comment by Dila Const: Vague statement…how many years?
The establishment of The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 1988 was aimed at bringing together the world’s leading experts on the earth’s climate change to gather, asses and disseminate scientific information about climate change with a view of informing international and national policy makers (Mathez, 2009). IPCC spearheaded conferences and treaties which were aimed at bettering the climate change situation. This paper will discuss the current status of the Kyoto Treaty and what should be done about the Kyoto Protocol and global warming in the future. Moreover, this paper will discuss recent climate change conferences and treaties and how the conferences and treaties are related to the Kyoto Treaty and the United States. Comment by Dila Const: Gases?
The Kyoto Protocol, 1997
The United Nations Conference on climate change took place in 1997. The United Nations took into consideration of global warming in Kyoto Japan (McGovern 2006). In the period between 2008 and 2012 The Giants’ industrial nations had promised to reduce the use of greenhouse emission on gasses. (Archer, 2012). The conference was of great importance because it was the first agreement between countries on reducing the emission of greenhouse gases. This protocol’s main feature was mandatory targets on emissions, which ranged from -8 percent to +10 percent of the countries’ individual 1990 emission levels (McGovern, 2006). The industrialized nations were in agreement to reduce the emission of the greenhouse effects by half. By the year 2012, the emission of the greenhouse gases were 5.2 percent on average. Comment by Dila Const: what does this mean?
The Kyoto Protocol was seen to be an effective way to reduce the menace of global warming. However, it was faced with problems during the process of fulfilling its mandate. For example, the United States of America, although they signed the agreement, they never ratified. Canada ratified the treaty in 2001 but set up a level that other countries were unable to achieve. The Canadian minister for environment said that Canada was applying its legal right to withdraw. The United States followed suit the same year and withdrew from the agreement. The end r.
Understanding Climate Change
Climate change is one of society's greatest threats. This was an overview presentation given on the science and solutions to a student audience at the World Bank on January 15, 2015, to inspire youth to take on climate change. The presentation was given as part of a workshop at which Lucia Grenna introduced the Connect4Climate program and Rachel Kyte, Vice President and Special Envoy for Climate Change at the World Bank, gave a personal account of what is need to take on the challenge, considering that 2015 is such an important year. The students went on do discuss their role for climate action, and brainstormed how best to enhance the Sport4Climate initiative of Connect4Climate.
4 responses to climate change
The document outlines responses to climate change from individual to global levels. It discusses lifestyle changes people can make, global meetings like the Kyoto Protocol to establish emissions trading, and national strategies to reduce emissions. The document also notes that some countries are more willing to act on climate change than others. Students are tasked with creating a triangle diagram showing the scale of responses from global governmental organizations and companies down to local councils, schools, and individual people.
Earth summit
The United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, also known as the Rio Summit or Earth Summit, was a major UN conference held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992. Over 170 countries participated and agreed to several important environmental agreements and declarations including the Rio Declaration, Agenda 21, and conventions on biological diversity, climate change, and desertification. The summit addressed issues like sustainable production/consumption, alternative energy sources, transportation, water scarcity, and more. It helped launch global discussions around these issues and set targets, though further negotiations were still needed to establish legally binding emissions limits.
climate change Policy
The document discusses climate change policy at both the international and national (Bangladesh) levels. At the international level, it outlines several key agreements and protocols aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions, including the UNFCCC, Kyoto Protocol, Paris Agreement, and others. The Kyoto Protocol set binding emissions reduction targets for developed countries. The Paris Agreement's goal is to limit global warming to 1.5-2 degrees Celsius. At the national level, the document outlines Bangladesh's climate change policies, strategies and funds aimed at adaptation and building resilience.
Background of Environmental Laws: International Context
This document provides a history of the development of environmental laws from the 19th century to present day. It discusses key events and agreements including the Stockholm Declaration (1972), Rio Earth Summit (1992), Kyoto Protocol (1997), Millennium Development Goals (2000), Rio+20 Conference (2012), Paris Climate Agreement (2015), and COP24 in Poland (2018). It highlights influential people like Severn Cullis-Suzuki and Greta Thunberg and their calls to action. International agreements like the UNFCCC, CBD, and UNCCD are also examined, in addition to how they are applied in Bangladesh through ratification of treaties.
Green Construction
The document summarizes key findings from the IPCC's 4th Assessment Report on climate change. It discusses the IPCC's role in assessing scientific literature on climate change and outlines dangerous impacts of increased greenhouse gases. The report projects that average global temperatures will rise 1.1-6.4 degrees Celsius by 2100 even with emission reductions and outlines major concerns like sea level rise, water stress, and effects on the Arctic. It calls for urgent global action on climate change mitigation and adaptation.
