what is climate change

long term shifts temperature & weather patterns

naturally - shifts solar cycle

1800s human activities main driver

burning fossil fuels, energy, industry, transport, buildings, agriculture & land use-major emitter GHGs

heat trapping- raising temperature

CO2

gasoline driving car

coal - heating, burning, thermal power plants

methane

landfills

garbage

consequences

1.1 degree C warmer 1800s, last decade warmest on record

earth system- everything connected

intense droughts, water scarcity, severe fires, melting polar ice , intense storms, & decline biodi.

people experience climate different ways

affects- health, abili grow food, housing, safety & work

some more vulnerable

people livi- small island nations, developing countries

sea level rise, salt water intrusion

whole community relocate

protracted droughts- famine risk- expected rise climate refugees

every increase in global warming matters

limiting temp. 1.5 deg. C - avoid worst clm impacts and main. livable clm

climate-clm

based current national clm plans

2.7 deg c cent. end

100 least emitting coun. - 3 % tot. emissions
10 count- 68% total emiss.

people & count crea. more prblm gre. respon. to act

Solutions

3 broad categories action

cutting emissions

adapting clm

financing requ. adjustment

fossil fuels- solar or wind reduce emiss.

click to edit

net zero emissions-2050
half emissions cuts 2030- keep warm. below 1.5 deg C ,

fossil fuel prodn - 6%/yr(2020-2030)

protect people, homes, business, livelihood, infrastructure and natural ecosystem

early warning system - saves life property.

prioritized - vunerable people fewest resources - cope clm hazards

deliver benifit- 10times initial cost

RISKS IN INDIA

Sea level rise and coastal degradation

decrease viability of low lying areas even before submerged

disagreements over maritime boundaries & ocean resources

migration displacement social disruption , displacement

Transboundary water management

decrease water availability

tensions -demand grows

decrease in availability, quality

increased pressure governmental structures

Local resource competition

pressure on natural resource

more competition-more instability

Livelihood insecurity and Migration

increase insecurity - depend on natural resource

push them to migrates(maybe illegal)

Extreme Weather Events and disasters

increased fragility and vulnerability

especially in conflict affected areas

Extreme Weather Events and disasters

unintended effects of climate policies
