PLANETARY NETWORKS:

CLIMATE CHANGE
• Planetary networks refer to the interconnections and
interrelations among the various elements in the natural
environment enveloping and affecting Earth as well as
elements beyond Earth’s surface.
GLOBAL WARMING
• the long-term warming of the planet's overall
temperature. ... The excess heat in the atmosphere has caused
the average global temperature to rise overtime, otherwise
known as global warming. Global warming has presented
another issue called climate change
GREENHOUSE GASES
• Nitrous oxide (N2O),
• Methane (CH4),
• Sulfur hexafluoride (SF2) Perfluorocarbons Hydrofluorocarbon
CLIMATE CHANGE
•  Climate change is a long-term change in the average weather
patterns that have come to define Earth's local, regional and
global climates
CONSUMPTION
& PRODUCTION PATTERNS
• Production patterns refer to how people generate and
manufacture the products they to use, sell, and consume.

• Consumption patterns involve the use of economic or

consumer goods and resources.
How do production &
consumption patterns
contribute to climate change?
CARBON FOOTPRINT
• Carbon footprint, a measure of the total amount of carbon
dioxide and methane emissions of a defined population,
system or activity within the spatial and temporary boundary
of the population, system or activity of interest
• (Wright, Kemp, and Williams, 2011)
CARBON OFFSETTING
• Carbon offsetting is the reduction of carbon footprint by using
other options such as wind or solar energy.
What are the practical ways
that you can commit to reduce
carbon footprint?
