Environmental Awareness

and Protection
WARMER TEMPERATURES OVER TIME ARE CHANGING WEATHER PATTERNS AND DISRUPTING THE
USUAL BALANCE OF NATURE. THIS POSES MANY RISKS TO HUMAN BEINGS AND ALL OTHER FORMS
OF LIFE ON EARTH.
HOTTER TEMPERATURES NEARLY ALL LAND AREAS ARE SEEING MORE HOT DAYS AND HEAT WAVES;
2020 WAS ONE OF THE HOTTEST YEARS ON RECORD. HIGHER TEMPERATURES INCREASE HEAT-
RELATED ILLNESSES AND CAN MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT TO WORK AND MOVE AROUND. WILDFIRES
START MORE EASILY AND SPREAD MORE RAPIDLY WHEN CONDITIONS ARE HOTTER.
MORE SEVERE STORMS CHANGES IN TEMPERATURE CAUSE CHANGES IN RAINFALL. THIS RESULTS IN
MORE SEVERE AND FREQUENT STORMS. THEY CAUSE FLOODING AND LANDSLIDES, DESTROYING
HOMES AND COMMUNITIES, AND COSTING BILLIONS OF POUNDS
INCREASED DROUGHTWATER IS BECOMING SCARCER IN MORE REGIONS. DROUGHTS CAN STIR
DESTRUCTIVE SAND AND DUST STORMS THAT CAN MOVE BILLIONS OF TONS OF SAND ACROSS
CONTINENTS. DESERTS ARE EXPANDING, REDUCING LAND FOR GROWING FOOD. MANY PEOPLE
NOW FACE THE THREAT OF NOT HAVING ENOUGH WATER ON A REGULAR BASIS.
EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE

 Hotter temperatures. As greenhouse gas concentrations rise, so does the

global surface temperature. ...
 More severe storms. ...
 Increased drought. ...
 A warming, rising ocean. ...
 Loss of species. ...
 Not enough food. ...
 More health risks. ...
 Poverty and displacement.
 What causes global warming?

 Global warming occurs when carbon dioxide (CO2) and other

air pollutants collect in the atmosphere and absorb sunlight and
solar radiation that have bounced off the earth’s surface.
Normally this radiation would escape into space, but these
pollutants, which can last for years to centuries in the
atmosphere, trap the heat and cause the planet to get hotter.
These heat-trapping pollutants—specifically carbon dioxide,
methane, nitrous oxide, water vapor, and synthetic fluorinated
gases—are known as greenhouse gases, and their impact is
called the greenhouse effect.
How is global warming linked to extreme
weather?

 Scientists agree that the earth’s rising temperatures are fueling longer and
hotter heat waves, more frequent droughts, heavier rainfall, and more
powerful hurricanes. The impacts of global warming are being felt
everywhere. Extreme heat waves have caused tens of thousands of
deaths around the world in recent years. And in an alarming sign of
events to come, Antarctica has lost nearly four trillion metric tons of ice
since the 1990s. The rate of loss could speed up if we keep burning fossil
fuels at our current pace, some experts say, causing sea levels to rise
several meters in the next 50 to 150 years and wreaking havoc on coastal
communities worldwide.
Climate change adaptation and
technology
 Climate change impacts are already being felt everywhere in the world and
increasingly adaptation is required. Many countries are implementing adaption plans for
unavoidable impacts. Innovation and technology can provide helpful solutions. This
chapter discusses the role of technology in adaptation, including both its potential and
the challenges it faces, as well as the implementation funding available. In preparation
for this inaugural edition of the Green Technology Book, WIPO launched a short and
simple online survey to gather testament from people around the world on how they are
experiencing climate change impacts and what they themselves are doing to adapt.
The survey revealed that for many people climate change is already a bitter reality –
and that is has been necessary to take action in response. In India, farmers are having to
stop farming certain areas due to protracted periods of seasonal flooding. In Ethiopia,
Antigua & Barbuda and Switzerland, farmers are finding alternative and innovative new
ways of efficiently managing irrigation water in order to make it last longer. In the
Philippines and Suriname, cultivators are both switching to crop varieties able to thrive at
higher temperatures and introducing agroforestry. In Indonesia, efforts are being made
to re-grow large sections of coral reefs severely damaged by coral bleaching.

 For the Philippines and the Filipino people, national security is defined as "a state or

institutions; territorial
 What is the main purpose of the national security?
 As stated, the goal of the national security strategy is to ensure the protection of our
nation's fundamental and enduring needs: protect the lives and safety of Americans;
maintain the sovereignty of the United States, with its values, institutions and territory
intact; and provide for the prosperity of the nation
