 ACTIVITY 2
Divide the class into four groups. Each group must
choose a representative who will be discussing the
new challenges to human adaptation and social
change. The class will be given 5 minutes to have
brainstorming with each member; afterwards the
reporter will present their output and explain.
Humans are generally
adaptive to changes in the
environment.
If people perceive relevant
changes in the environment
they are in, they readily
adapt their behavior to meet
these new challenges for
their own benefit.
Changes are inevitable.

They bring a host of

problems, and as humans,
we are challenged to
respond to these problems
not only individually but
collectively.
GLOBAL WARMING AND
CLIMATE CHANGE
Climate change serves as a new challenge to humans
today.
 CLIMATE CHANGE
• a long-term change in the average weather
patterns
• incorporated with the two phenomena, the
global warming and large – scale change in
weather patterns.
 The changing climatic conditions that we experience
tell us that there is an existing environmental problem
that needs to be addressed immediately so that it will not
give too much negative impact to human beings in the
future.
 Today, different
programs are being
implemented worldwide
to prevent further global
warming and avoid
climate change.
 Therefore, adaptation to the
resulting changes in climate change is
necessary.
WAYS TO ADAPT THE
SITUATION OF
CLIMATE CHANGE
1. PRACTICE CONSERVATION OF
NATURAL RESOURCES
2. REDUCE POLLUTION AND
WASTE
a. For on – the – go
refreshment, use a
reusable bottle cup.
2. REDUCE POLLUTION AND

b. Reusable
supermarket bags are

2. REDUCE POLLUTION AND

2. REDUCE POLLUTION AND
WASTE
d. It should

composted.
3. REUSE WATER
4. RECYCLE PRODUCTS

 The goal of adaptation to climate
change is to increase the ability of our
environmental, social, and economic
system to cope with the problem.
