 What is climate change ?

• Is a signi icant time variation in wether patterns occuring

over periods ranging from decades to millions of years
• Climate change may refer to a change in average weather
conditions or in the time variation of weather around
longer term average conditions.
• Climate change is caused by factors such as radiation
received by earth, plate tectonics and volcanic eruptions.

 • Certain humans activities
have also been identi ied as
signi icant causes of recent
climate change often
referred to as “Global
Warming ”.
• This cause impacts on health,
agriculture, forest, water
resources, coastal areas and
species and natural areas.

 Understanding the causes
• Over the last 50 years human activity particularly the
burning of fossil fuels have released suf icient quantities of
carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases to trap
additional heat in the lower atmosphere and affect the
global climate.
• In the last 100 years, the world has warmed by
approximately 0.75•C. From last 3 decades has been
continuously warmer than any preceding decade since 1850

 • Sea level are rising, glaciers
are melting and precipitation
patterns are changing.
Extreme weather events are
becoming more intense and
frequent.
• Climate change affects the
social and environmental
determinants of health, clean
air, safe drinking water,
suf icient food and secure
shelter.

• Climate change has
brought about several
and possibly permanent
alterations to our planet
geological, biological and
ecological systems.

• The intergovernmental
panel on climate change
(IPCC) contended in
2003 that there is new
and stronger evidence
that most of the warming
observed over last 50
years is attributed to
human activities
• These changes have led • The World Health
to the emergence of large Organisation estimated
scale environmental that 160,000 deaths are
hazards to human health due to climate change
such as extreme weather
ozone depletion loss of
biodiversity, stresses to
food production systems
and the global spread of
infectious.

• The majority of the adverse
effects of climate change are
experienced by poor and low
income communities around
the world.
• A report on global human
impact of climate change
published by the Global
Humanitarian Forum in 2009
estimated more than 300,000
deaths and about $125 billion
in economic losses each year.

 Impact of Climate Change
1. Health Impact
• Climate has changed poses a wide range of risks to
populations health risks that will increase in future
decades often to critical levels if global climate change
continues on its current trajectory.

 Agricultural Impact
• Global warming is projected to have signi icant impacts
on conditions affecting agriculture, including
temperature, carbon dioxide, glacial runoff, precipitation
and the interactions of these elements.
• The overall effect of climate change on agriculture will
depend on the balance of these effects.

• Land use change such as
deforestation and deserti ication,
together with the use of fossil
fuels are the major anthropogenic
sources of carbon dioxide.
• Drought are result in crop failures
and the loss of pastures grazing
land for livestock.
• Drought have been occurring
more frequently because of
global warming and they are
expected to became more
frequent and intense in Africa,
Southern Europe, The Middle
East, Australia and southern Asia.

 Water resources impact

• Climate change is creating major consequences for water

resources through its impacts on plants hydrology.
• Hydrology, a physical science, encompasses the
distribution, movement and quality of water in Earth system.
• Water resources are important to both society and eco-
system. We depend on clean supply drinking of water to
sustain our health. And for ecosystems energy production,
recreation and manufacturing.

16
16
• The water cycle is a delicate
balance of precipitation,
evaporation and all of the steps
in between.
• Warmer temperatures increase
the rate of evaporation of water
into atmosphere, in effect
increasing the atmosphere
capacity to hold water.
• The amount of water available
for these activities may
reduced as earth warms.

17

 Impact on species and natural areas
• Our planet is warming faster than at any time in past
10,000 years. With these changes, species have to adapt
to new climate patterns.
• Because of global warming many consequences have
resulted from human emissions of greenhouse gases.
• The consequences include habitat loss- shoft in climate
conditions and in habitat that surpass migration
capabilities altered competitive relationships.

18
18
• World Wide Fund (WWF)
scientists have estimated
that most species on these
planet will have to move
faster than 1,000 meter
per year if they need for
survival.
19

f
• These effects will generally
mean that a number of
habitat types will became
fragile and some species
will bene it at higher risk of
disappearing because they
have no possibility for
moving to other areas or
time to adapt.
 Solution for climate change
Sustainable agriculture

• Sustainable agriculture is farming in such way to protect

the environment, aid and expand natural resources and
to make the best use of no renewable resources.
• Practices that can cause long term damage to soil
include excessive tilling of the soil and irrigation without
adequate drainage.

20

21
• Sustainable agriculture is
crucial in addressing many of
the environmental and social
challenges we face, including
climate change, soil erosion,
water pollution, loss of
biodiversity, and food security.
It offers a way to produce food
while minimizing harm to the
environment and ensuring the
well-being of both farmers and
consumers.
22
22
• By adopting sustainable
agriculture practices, we can
work towards a more resilient,
equitable, and
environmentally responsible
food system that meets the
needs of the present without
compromising the ability of
future generations to do the
same.

there less waste to clean up.
• Learn to reuse :

 Reforestation and a orestation
• Reforestation :
It is a process of replanting trees in areas that were
once forested but have been deforested. It aims to
restore ecosystems, sequester carbon, protect soil,
manage water, and provide economic bene its.

• Afforestation :
Afforestation involves
establishing forests on
lands that haven’t been
forested recently. It creates
new forests, sequesters
carbon, enhances
biodiversity, and provides
various ecological bene its.
