to know how to control adverse climatic conditions by 4 basic key points, these are : 1. Basic science of climate change. 2. Mitigation & it’s policies. 3. Adaptation. 4. Consequences. here you can find the causes and their solutions with brief description. how changing environmental conditions can affect our lives & what should we do to reduce it with some appropriate adaptations followed by mitigation and it's policies. for the convenience, this topic is available in both power point and in PDF formats.

2. KEY POINTS
1. Basic science of climate change.
2. Mitigation & it’s policies.
3. Adaptation.
4. Consequences.

3. BASIC SCIENCE OF
CLIMATE CHANGE

4. WHAT IS CLIMATE
CHANGE
• A change in global
or regional climate
patterns.
• e.g:
 Shift in winds.
 Changing of
temperature.
 Changing in the
level of sea.

5. CAUSES OF CLIMATE CHANGE
HUMAN ACTIVITIES NATURAL PROCESSES

6.  Human activities contribute more to climate change.
Fossil fuel, the essence of the climate change.
According to one report:
90 companies are responsible for 2/3 of the
harmful emission generated since the industrial age began.
what would happen if the amount of carbon dioxide,
CO2, in the atmosphere were to double?
Gustavus Arrhenius chemist in Sweden, He got the
answer, that the temperature on the planet would rise by
a few degrees centigrade, by the middle of the 21st
century, by 2050

7. ABD’S ASSESMENT
• Climate change will affect south Asia more
than most other region.
• Monsoon rains and heavy storm will increase.
• Mountain countries will face more landslides
and flooding.
• Coastal countries will likely to be partly
inundated by sea-level rise.

8. CLIMATE CHANGE
& PAKISTAN
 Pakistan ranked
no # 3 after Haiti
and Philippines
as countries
most affected by
climate change.
 Impacting the
social, national
and economic
landscape.

9. • Taken as a whole, the range of published
evidence indicates that the net damage
costs of climate change are likely to be
significant and to increase over time.

10. MITIGATION &
IT’S POLICIES

11. MITIGATION
WHAT DOES IT MEANS
Elimination or Reducing the adverse condition
of the climate.

12. ITS POLICIES
• Waste minimization.
For example# use silverware instead
of disposable plates spoons.
• Reduction of fossil fuel.
the burning of fossil fuels release CO₂
into the atmosphere, which is a
greenhouse gas that contributes to
climate change.
For example# ride a bi-cycle or walk
more or use public transports.

13. • Create awareness among people
When shopping, use paper shopping
bag instead of polythene bags.
• Reduce green house gases.
For example# plant a tree they absorb
CO₂ and give off oxygen. A single tree
will absorb approximately one ton of
CO₂ during its lifetime.

14. • More efficient use of energy
Use solar panel system because does not produce
harmful bi-products complete absence of destructive
emissions reducing global warming and other
environmental problems
• Low carbon energy supply.
If we use these low carbon energy supply means we
definitely reduce the bad impact on climate.

15. ADAPTATION

16. ADAPTATION ?
“Take appropriate steps in response to climate
change to reduce the effects”
TWO TYPES OF ADAPTATION
1. Autonomous adaptation.
2. Planned adaptation.

17. AUTONOMOUS
ADAPTATION
“Automatic response that every system generates in
response to any climate change”
best example : PLANTS
•Helps to cool down the temperature, when the surrounding heats up.
•Release evaporated water in the form of droplets into the air.
•Most easiest & sustainable way to protect the environment.
But unfortunately WE ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH with it !

18. PLANNED ADAPTATION
“Human beings generate responses in order to maintain
climate change”
•Make a plan.
•Follow set of strategies.
•Applied where the system doesn't have sufficient autonomous capacity.

19. ADAPTATION STRATEGIES

20. CONSEQUENCES

21. Consequences of climate change
Some of the most dangerous
consequences of climate change are listed
here:
1. Higher temperatures:
Heat trapping gases emitted by power
plants , automobiles & deforestation
are the main cause of high
temperature.
2. Wildlife at risk:
Because of rising temperatures across
the globe , forcing animal species to
migrate new, cooler areas in order to
survive.
HOW HOT IS TOO HOT ??

22. 3. Rising seas:
Sea level rise because warmer water
takes up more room than colder water.
4. More heat related illness & diseases:
climate change may increase the spread
of infectious diseases, mainly because
warmer temperatures allow disease-
carrying insects, animals & microbes as
compared to cold weather.
