Water and water security remains one of the most important sustainability topics on the agenda. Water efficiency measures by businesses can have a huge impact on the wider community as well as a company’s bottom line
Climate change is disrupting the water cycle and jeopardizing water, food, and energy security. It is causing more frequent and intense droughts, heavy precipitation events, melting glaciers, and harmful algal blooms. Higher temperatures lead to increased evaporation and dry periods interspersed with heavy rainfall and flooding. Many glaciers are retreating and may disappear, reducing fresh water sources for dependent areas. Glacial melting is also expanding ocean volumes. Climate change has warmed waters and caused more common, severe algal blooms that damage ecosystems and threaten human and animal health.
Climate change is defined as a change in global or regional climate patterns, in particular a change apparent from the mid to late 20th century onwards and attributed largely to the increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide produced by the use of fossil fuels. Rising carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases have warmed the planet, causing sea level rise, ice and snow melt, more extreme weather events, and impacts on ecosystems and human systems. To avoid worsening impacts, human-caused greenhouse gas emissions must be reduced by transitioning to clean energy and limiting energy use. Some degree of continued climate change is unavoidable due to past emissions.
Drought is a period of drier-than-normal conditions that results in water-related problems. When rainfall is less than normal for several weeks, months, or years, the flow of streams and rivers declines, water levels in lakes and reservoirs fall, and the depth to water in wells increases. If dry weather persists and water-supply problems develop, the dry period can become a drought. A single rainstorm will only provide temporary relief from drought conditions, while soaking rains over several months are required to break a drought and return conditions to normal. Drought is one of the most damaging natural disasters, destroying important food and water sources and killing thousands, so innovative solutions are needed to reduce drought effects and occurrence.
The document discusses several issues caused by climate change, including droughts and desert expansion, flooding, rising sea levels, changing ocean salinity levels, and rising sea temperatures. It notes that droughts will intensify and new areas will experience drought, deserts will expand as areas dry out, and flooding will increase due to climate shifts and more rainfall. Rising seas will submerge coastal lands and infrastructure and force population migration. Changing ocean salinity from melting glaciers will disrupt marine ecosystems and fishing economies. Rising sea temperatures will alter ocean currents and climate patterns on land and sea.
Climate change is accelerating due to human activities and its impacts are becoming more severe. As the global temperature rises, oceans are warming and acidifying while glaciers and ice sheets are melting, causing sea levels to rise. Heat waves are occurring more frequently and intensely, while droughts are lengthening and precipitation patterns are changing, reducing food security. Climate change is also exacerbating natural disasters, spreading diseases, and disrupting ecosystems. If greenhouse gas emissions continue unchecked, climate models predict increasingly elevated temperatures and sea levels that could threaten global livability. Urgent action is needed to mitigate climate change through emissions reductions and other measures.
Climate change is accelerating due to human activities and its impacts are becoming more severe. It is causing ocean acidification and rising sea levels as oceans warm and expand. Glaciers are melting, contributing to sea level rise. Heat waves and droughts are more common, while precipitation patterns are changing and becoming more extreme. This is reducing agricultural production and increasing food insecurity. Other impacts include more frequent extreme weather, spread of diseases, disruption of ecosystems, and increased health problems. Urgent action is needed to reduce greenhouse gases and mitigate the effects of climate change.
This document discusses the impacts of climate change. It outlines negative physical impacts like rising global temperatures and sea levels. Ecological impacts include shifts in species ranges and increases in wildfires and droughts. Socio-economic impacts involve threats to health from diseases and effects on agriculture, transportation, and food. The document also notes a few potential positive impacts of climate change like fewer winter deaths and possibly richer biodiversity.
Global warming is defined as an increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere due to an increase in greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane. This is trapping more heat in the lower atmosphere and enhancing the greenhouse effect. The impacts of global warming include more extreme weather events like floods and droughts globally. For India, global warming is already resulting in rising temperatures, changing rainfall patterns, and more frequent extreme weather events that are damaging its economy and society. Key impacts include threats to health, water resources, agriculture, forests, and coastal areas.

The climate change refers to changes in modern climate caused primarily by global warming due to high levels of CO2 in the atmosphere. It affects the poles the most where temperatures are rising quickly, melting ice and snow, and also impacts mountains. The effects include a rise in sea levels of over 10 meters from melting poles that could flood coastal cities, changes in rainfall that may lead to droughts, and mass death of plants and animals potentially resulting in food shortages and loss of human lives. The primary causes are pollution that is increasing sun's heat on earth, destruction of the ozone layer, and wasteful energy usage.

IPCC Report on the Physical Science Basis for Climate Change in5slidesTim Kirby
In this presentation, I summarise the 2013 Summary for Policymakers report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), on Climate Change: The Physical Science Basis, in 5 slides.
Climate describes average weather patterns over long periods of time for a particular region, while weather describes short-term atmospheric conditions. Many scientists believe human activities are contributing to global warming and climate change by increasing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which can lead to impacts like changes in rainfall, rising sea levels, and effects on plants, wildlife, and humans. The document encourages small individual actions like taking public transit, planting trees, recycling, and conserving energy to collectively make a difference in reducing greenhouse gases.

This document summarizes the observed and potential future impacts of climate change on water resources at Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest based on long-term data collection and climate modeling. Key findings include increases in annual precipitation, more frequent high flow events, decreases in snowpack, earlier snowmelt and soil thaw, rising stream temperatures, and potential impacts to water quality. These changes may have consequences for forest management, infrastructure, and recreation that require consideration of climate adaptation strategies.
Climate change is a long-term change in weather patterns caused by human activity like burning fossil fuels. According to NASA, there is evidence of climate change through increasing carbon dioxide levels, rising global temperatures, decreasing ice levels, and sea level rise. From 1880 to 2019, global temperatures and sea levels have steadily increased while ice levels have decreased. To address climate change, individuals and governments need to take action through activities like reducing waste and pollution, using renewable energy, and transitioning to more sustainable practices.
Potential Global Warming and Sea Level Rise; Impact of Climate Change on Ene...Jack Onyisi Abebe
This presentation discusses the Potential Global Warming and Sea Level Rise; Impact of Climate Change on Energy Use, Water and Water Quality and Availability
Human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation are now the dominant cause of increasing global temperatures in recent decades. To mitigate climate change, humans must minimize activities that impact the climate like CO2 emissions and instead follow the principles of reduce, reuse, and recycle in order to gradually allow the Earth to recover.
IRJET - Impact of Climate Change on Ground Water ResourcesIRJET Journal
1. The document discusses the impact of climate change on groundwater resources. As global temperatures rise, it will affect the hydrologic cycle through increased evaporation and transpiration. This will impact precipitation patterns and amounts.
2. Changes in climate variables like temperature and precipitation will directly impact surface water resources and indirectly impact subsurface reservoirs like groundwater. Higher temperatures can lead to increased groundwater extraction to meet irrigation needs, lowering water tables.
3. Reduced rainfall and increased temperatures from climate change may lower groundwater recharge rates by reducing infiltration. This could deplete groundwater supplies over time, especially in areas heavily dependent on groundwater. Proper management of groundwater resources will be important for adapting to climate change
Weather and climate have both short-term and long-term impacts on livestock development and management. This talk will focus on longer-term trends in climate and drought over time across the United States and the impacts of changes in these factors on animal agriculture. We will start by examining the trends in temperature and precipitation that have occurred over different regions of the US over the past century and how they have varied from one area to another. Then we will look at how future climate is predicted and problems in making useful predictions. We will follow that by looking at some of the most reliable predictions of future climate and discuss the potential impacts on livestock health, forage and feed supply, and farm management practices and the importance of resilience in farm practices. We will conclude by identifying both the challenges and the opportunities for future livestock producers in a changing climate.

The document discusses the challenges facing global agriculture to meet growing food demand in a sustainable way. It notes that agriculture already uses over 40% of land and 70% of fresh water, contributing significantly to environmental problems. To feed a growing population, food production may need to increase 60% by 2050 using less land, water, and chemicals. However, organic agriculture alone cannot meet this need due to typical yield reductions. New technologies, like genetically engineered crops, are seen as part of the solution to sustainably increase production while reducing environmental impacts, but these technologies also face opposition. The document argues that a combination of best agricultural practices and technologies will be needed.
The foodservice industry and the agriculture sector are intrinsically linked but all too often those working in each field do not understand the other. By bringing the entire supply chain together we look to promote understanding across the foodservice industry – from farmers to fork.

Climate Change & Anthropogenic Impact On Water ResourcesVempi Satriya
Human activities are clearly influencing the climate system and causing changes that are affecting water resources in several ways. According to the IPCC, over half of the increase in surface temperatures since the 1950s is due to human greenhouse gas emissions. As the climate continues to warm, precipitation patterns are projected to change in ways that will impact water availability and quality. Infrastructure like dams and reservoirs has altered water flows, and building more could help address issues like declining storage capacity but also risks impacts on environmental flows. Managing these tradeoffs between human and environmental water needs is an ongoing challenge.
The document discusses land degradation, drought, and sustainability issues globally. It notes that 78% of global land degradation occurs in humid areas, while degradation in drylands has more severe consequences. Around 16% of global land has experienced improvement, mainly in dryland areas. Drylands have the best potential for increased food production but face increasing threats from drought. Land degradation contributes to issues like poverty, water stress, food insecurity, biodiversity loss, climate change, and conflict through migration and resource instability. Sustainable land management can help address these issues by improving livelihoods, water availability, food security, ecosystem conditions, and climate resilience while avoiding deforestation and forced migration.
Climate change, water scarcity, rising energy costs, and increasing global food demand are converging threats that must be addressed together through integrated solutions. Agricultural systems need to use resources like climate, water, energy, and nutrients more efficiently while transitioning to renewable energy and sustainable practices. Long-term food security in Timor-Leste requires building agricultural knowledge and capacity, strengthening legal frameworks, conducting environmental research, and considering these interconnected issues now to determine future success.

The document discusses the impacts of climate change on agriculture in Southeast Asian countries. It finds that climate change is already affecting the region through increased extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and disruption of ecosystems. Agriculture in Southeast Asia will likely be negatively impacted through decreased water availability, declining crop yields for rice and other grains, and threats to food security for over 1.6 billion people in South and East Asia due to reduced calorie and cereal consumption as temperatures rise. Countries most vulnerable to these effects include Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Lao PDR, Myanmar, and Nepal.

A presentation on impact of human activities on weather and climateVasu Malhotra
This document is a report by students in New Delhi analyzing changes to weather and climatic conditions in nearby areas and the human factors responsible. It discusses how human activities like changed lifestyles, deforestation, agriculture, energy production and waste generation are contributing to climate change by releasing greenhouse gases and modifying the environment. The impacts of climate change include rising sea levels, worsening health issues, more severe droughts and melting ice sheets. The report urges actions like preserving forests, transitioning to renewable energy and obtaining a global climate deal to address this urgent problem.
The document summarizes key findings from the 5th Assessment Report (AR5) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). It discusses the IPCC's assessment of evidence that human activity is the dominant cause of observed warming since 1950. It also notes that future warming is projected to cause sea level rise, ocean acidification, and further changes to glaciers, Arctic sea ice, and oceans. While some adaptation is possible, there are limits, and increasing impacts pose growing challenges.
Climate change is having significant impacts on Pakistan. Rising temperatures and changing precipitation patterns are threatening key sectors of Pakistan's economy like agriculture, livestock, forestry, and water resources. Agriculture and livestock are vulnerable to droughts and floods which are increasing due to climate change. Forests and biodiversity are also at risk from rising temperatures. Water availability is projected to decline as glaciers melt and then recede, which would reduce fresh water supplies. Coastal areas are vulnerable to flooding from sea level rise. Pakistan contributes very little to global emissions but is severely impacted. Urgent action is needed to adapt to and mitigate the effects of climate change.
- The world faces both a food crisis and a water crisis that are interrelated and driven by similar long-term trends like population growth and dietary changes as well as short-term factors like biofuel production and speculation.
- To overcome these crises, we must increase water and food productivity while also improving the resilience of food production systems to better cope with global changes through approaches like multiple water use systems and soil water conservation techniques.
- Achieving this will require changes in how we think about and manage water and agriculture locally and globally with a focus on both technical solutions and relationships between stakeholders.

The Evolution and Impact of OTT Platforms: A Deep Dive into the Future of Ent...ABHILASH DUTTA
This presentation provides a thorough examination of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms, focusing on their development and substantial influence on the entertainment industry, with a particular emphasis on the Indian market.We begin with an introduction to OTT platforms, defining them as streaming services that deliver content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional broadcast channels. These platforms offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and original productions, allowing users to access content on-demand across multiple devices.The historical context covers the early days of streaming, starting with Netflix's inception in 1997 as a DVD rental service and its transition to streaming in 2007. The presentation also highlights India's television journey, from the launch of Doordarshan in 1959 to the introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television in 2000, which expanded viewing choices and set the stage for the rise of OTT platforms like Big Flix, Ditto TV, Sony LIV, Hotstar, and Netflix. The business models of OTT platforms are explored in detail. Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) models, exemplified by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, offer unlimited content access for a monthly fee. Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) models, like iTunes and Sky Box Office, allow users to pay for individual pieces of content. Advertising-Based Video on Demand (AVOD) models, such as YouTube and Facebook Watch, provide free content supported by advertisements. Hybrid models combine elements of SVOD and AVOD, offering flexibility to cater to diverse audience preferences.
Content acquisition strategies are also discussed, highlighting the dual approach of purchasing broadcasting rights for existing films and TV shows and investing in original content production. This section underscores the importance of a robust content library in attracting and retaining subscribers.The presentation addresses the challenges faced by OTT platforms, including the unpredictability of content acquisition and audience preferences. It emphasizes the difficulty of balancing content investment with returns in a competitive market, the high costs associated with marketing, and the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to stay relevant.
The impact of OTT platforms on the Bollywood film industry is significant. The competition for viewers has led to a decrease in cinema ticket sales, affecting the revenue of Bollywood films that traditionally rely on theatrical releases. Additionally, OTT platforms now pay less for film rights due to the uncertain success of films in cinemas.
Looking ahead, the future of OTT in India appears promising. The market is expected to grow by 20% annually, reaching a value of ₹1200 billion by the end of the decade. The increasing availability of affordable smartphones and internet access will drive this growth, making OTT platforms a primary source of entertainment for many viewers.
