 WEATHER
Conditions of the atmosphere overa
short period of time
Can change within minutes or hours
Climate
How the atmosphere behaves over
a long period of time andspace
Average regional weather pattern
over decades

Greenhouse

Effect
 Increasing levels of GHGs
in the atmosphere make
for a warmer world leading
to abrupt changes in climate!
Greenhouse gases (GHGs) trap
heat from the sun to keep the
Earth warm.

 CLIMATE CHANGE
A change of climate which is attributed
directly or indirectly to human activity
that alters the composition of the global
atmosphere and which is in addition to
natural climate variability observed over
comparable time periods
Article 1 of United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change
(UNFCCC)
Greenhouse Gases usually accounted for:
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6)
Methane (CH4) Perfluorocarbon (PFC)
Nitrous Oxide (N2O) Hydrofluorocarbon (HFC)

 ADAPTATION
“The adjustment in natural or human systems in
response to actual or expected climatic stimuli
or their effects, which moderates harm or
exploits beneficial opportunities.”
“The process by which strategies to moderate,
cope with, and take advantage of the
consequences of climatic events are enhanced,
developed, and implemented.”

“The practical steps to protect countries and

communities from the likely disruption and
damage that will result from effects of climate
change.”
