2. Let’s decode
Global Warming.
Global warming is increase in Earth's
average surface temperature primarily
due to the emission of greenhouse gases.
These gases, like carbon dioxide and
methane, trap heat in the atmosphere,
leading to a gradual rise in temperatures.
It leads to changes in weather conditions,
rising sea levels, and threatening
ecosystems.
4. Industrial Emissions
Overview: Industrial activities contribute to global warming
through the release of greenhouse gases.
Key Points:
Combustion of fossil fuels in factories releases large amounts of
carbon dioxide (CO2).
Industrial processes like manufacturing and chemical production
emit methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O).
Impact: Accelerates the greenhouse effect, trapping heat in the
atmosphere and warming the planet.
5. Overview: The transportation sector is one of the major culprits
in global warming due to reliance on fossil fuels.
Key Points:
• Cars, planes, and ships burning fossil fuels emit CO2.
• High levels of nitrous oxide from vehicle engines.
• Methane emissions from certain transportation activities.
Impact: Contributes to the rise in greenhouse gas
concentrations, leading to climate change.
Transportation
6. Overview: This sector contributes to more than 8 percent of
global greenhouse gas emissions.
Key Points:
• Livestock farming produces methane, a potent greenhouse
gas.
• Agricultural practices release nitrous oxide.
• Deforestation for agriculture adds to CO2 levels.
Impact: Intensifies the greenhouse effect, impacting both climate
and ecosystems.
Food Production
7. Overview: Deforestation involves clearing large areas of forests,
releasing stored carbon, and reducing the planet's ability to absorb
CO2.
Key Points:
• Trees act as carbon sinks, absorbing CO2 during photosynthesis.
• Clearing forests releases stored carbon back into the
atmosphere.
Impact: Significant contribution to elevated CO2 levels, increasing
global warming.
Deforestation
8. Overview: Excessive consumption, irrespective of the resource type,
poses a threat to our environment by accelerating degradation.
Key Points:
• Overconsumption fuels increased industrial production,
demanding elevated energy and raw material inputs.
• The extraction and processing associated with
overconsumption contribute to harmful emissions.
Impact:
Indiscriminate consumption drains precious natural resources
heightens pollution levels, and magnifies the carbon footprint.
Too much consumption
10. Reforestation and
Sustainable Land Use
• Plant trees to restore biodiversity and
improve soil health.
• Adopt sustainable forestry practices to
balance harvesting with reforestation.
• Integrate trees into agricultural landscapes
through agroforestry systems.
• Raise awareness about the importance of
reforestation and sustainable land use.
• Support policies that promote sustainable
land management and incentivize
reforestation.
11. • Reduce overall dependency on fossil fuels by promoting
energy efficiency and renewable energy.
• Adopt energy-efficient practices and reduce reliance on
fossil fuel-based products as a consumer.
• Support transparency and accountability in fossil fuel
operations and environmental impact assessments.
• Optimize fossil fuel utilization through advanced
technologies and practices.
• Encourage sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels, such as
renewable energy sources and energy storage
technologies.
Conscious Fossil Fuel Consumption
12. Renewable Energy Transition
Accelerate renewable energy deployment to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and
achieve carbon emission reduction targets.
Upgrade and modernize the electricity grid to accommodate the increasing
integration of renewable energy sources.
Support research and development in energy storage technologies for excess
renewable energy utilization.
Facilitate the adoption of rooftop solar, community solar projects, and small-scale
renewable energy installations.
Promote international partnerships, knowledge sharing, and technology transfer to
accelerate the global transition to renewable energy.
