Topoic:The environment

and the effects of

climate.

Made by Erick Espinoza

Unit #4: Bad weather

Bad weather can have a significant impact on the environment and climate.
Extreme weather events like hurricanes, floods, and droughts are becoming
more frequent due to climate change, causing widespread damage and
disruption.
The environment and the effects of climate

Deforestation Melting Glaciers Extreme Weather

The clearing of forests for
agriculture, development,
and other uses is a major
contributor to climate
change, as trees play a vital
role in absorbing CO2 and
regulating the climate.
Global warming is causing
glaciers and ice caps to melt
at an alarming rate, leading
to rising sea levels and
disrupting ecosystems and
water supplies.
Climate change is increasing
the frequency and intensity of
extreme weather events like
hurricanes, droughts, and
heat waves, causing
widespread destruction and
displacement.
The environment and the effects of
climate in Ecuador
1 Deforestation in the Amazon
Ecuador's Amazon rainforest is being
rapidly deforested for agriculture and
resource extraction, threatening
biodiversity and contributing to
climate change.
2 Declining Glacier Extent
The glaciers in Ecuador's Andes
mountains are retreating due to rising
temperatures, impacting water
supplies for local communities.

3 Extreme Weather Events

Ecuador has experienced more frequent and intense weather events, such as heavy rains,
floods, and droughts, which have caused significant damage and disruption.
Opinions on stopping the effects of climate

Transitioning to renewable energy sources Planting trees and restoring degraded forests
like solar, wind, and hydropower can can help absorb carbon dioxide, improve

Policy Changes Individual Action

Governments need to implement policies and Everyone can make a difference by reducing
regulations that incentivize sustainable their carbon footprint, supporting
practices and hold companies and individuals sustainable businesses, and advocating for
accountable for their environmental impact. climate action.
How the environment and climate effects
affect people
Displacement
Climate-related disasters and environmental degradation can force people to abandon
their homes and communities, leading to displacement and migration.

Food and Water Insecurity

Droughts, crop failures, and water scarcity can disrupt food and water supplies,
threatening the livelihoods and well-being of communities.

Health Impacts
Environmental pollution and the spread of vector-borne diseases can have serious
consequences for human health, especially for vulnerable populations.
Conclusion
The effects of climate change and environmental degradation are far-reaching and complex, impacting
ecosystems, communities, and individuals around the world. By taking action to address these
challenges, we can build a more sustainable and resilient future.
