Causes of Climate Change
1 Greenhouse Gases

Increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide, methane, and other gases trap heat in the
atmosphere.

2 Deforestation

Clearing forests reduce the Earth's capacity to absorb carbon dioxide, exacerbating the
greenhouse effect.

3 Burning Fossil Fuels

The combustion of coal, oil, and gas releases carbon dioxide, the primary greenhouse gas.
Safety Measures
Renewable Energy
Transitioning to clean energy
sources like solar and wind
power reduces greenhouse gas
emissions.
Energy Efficiency
Improving efficiency in
industries, transportation, and
buildings helps conserve energy
and curb emissions.
Forest Conservation
Protecting and restoring forests
helps absorb carbon dioxide and
preserve biodiversity.
Impact of Climate Change

Global Warming Extreme Weather Ecosystem Disruption

Rising temperatures lead to Intensified droughts, heatwaves, Increasing wildfires, loss of

melting polar ice, sea-level rise, hurricanes, and floods disrupt biodiversity, and changes in
and potential coastal flooding. ecosystems and threaten human natural habitats jeopardize
lives. ecological balance.
Adaptation Strategies
System Strength

Designing and building resilient infrastructure to withstand climate-related hazards.

Water Management

Implementing measures to ensure water availability and quality in the face of changing
precipitation patterns.

Farming improvements

Developing climate-smart farming techniques to adapt to changing conditions and secure food
production.
The Role of UAE
The UAE has demonstrated remarkable commitment to tackling climate change:

1 Renewable Energy 2 Green Economy 3 International

The UAE is investing
heavily in solar and wind
power projects, aiming for
50% clean energy by 2050.
Transitioning to
sustainable practices and
fostering innovation in
clean technologies and
green industries.
Leadership
The UAE hosts the Abu
Dhabi Sustainability Week
and actively participates in
global climate initiatives.
Conclusion
Addressing climate change requires collective efforts, innovation, and political will. Together, we can build a more
sustainable and resilient future for generations to come.
