Overview

Overview
Global warming is caused by mankind.

What is Climate Change

UNITED NATIONS, 1992
“Climate change” means a change of climate which is attributed

directly or indirectly to
human activity that alters the composition of the global
atmosphere and which is in addition to
natural climate variability observed over comparable time
periods.

What are effects of climate change?

Fires Extreme
Weather
Drought
Melting
Glaciers
Rising
Sea Level

What is Global Warming?
Greenhouse effect
The "greenhouse effect" is the warming that happens when

certain gases in Earth's atmosphere trap heat. These gases let in
light but keep heat from escaping, like the glass walls of a
greenhouse.
www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/global-warming/global-warming-overview/

What is Global Warming?
“Glaciers are melting, sea levels are rising, cloud forests are dying,
and wildlife is scrambling to keep pace. It's becoming clear that
humans have caused most of the past century's warming
by releasing heat-trapping gases as we power our modern lives.
Called greenhouse gases, their levels are higher now than in the
last 650,000 years.
We call the result global warming, but it is causing a set of

changes to the Earth's climate, or long-term weather patterns,
that varies from place to place. It's changing the rhythms of
climate that all living things have come to rely upon. ”
www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/global-warming/global-warming-overview/

What are Greenhouse

Gases?
“Greenhouse gases” means those

gaseous constituents of the
atmosphere, both natural
and anthropogenic, that absorb
and re-emit infrared radiation.

Coal, a fossil fuel, is the largest source of energy for the generation
of electricity worldwide, as well as one of the largest worldwide
anthropogenic sources of carbon dioxide emissions. Gross
carbon dioxide emissions from coal usage are slightly more than
those from petroleum and about double the amount from natural
gas. Coal is extracted from the ground by mining, either
underground or in open pits.
Natural gas is a gas consisting primarily of methane. It is found
associated with other fossil fuels, in coal beds, in marshes, bogs, and
landfills. It is an important fuel source, a major feedstock for fertilizers,
and a potent greenhouse gas.
Natural gas is a major source of electricity generation through the use of

gas turbines and steam turbines. Most grid peaking power plants and
some off-grid engine-generators use natural gas.
Nuclear power is power (generally electrical) produced from controlled
(i.e., non-explosive) nuclear reactions. Commercial plants in use to date
use nuclear fission reactions. Electric utility reactors heat water to
produce steam, which is then used to generate electricity. In 2009, 15%
of the world's electricity came from nuclear power, despite concerns
about safety and radioactive waste management.
Renewable Sources of Energy
Wind power is the conversion of wind energy into a useful

form of energy, such as using wind turbines to make
electricity
Solar power is the generation of electricity from sunlight. This

can be direct as with photovoltaics (PV), or indirect as with
concentrating solar power (CSP)
Wave power is the transport of energy by ocean surface

waves, and the capture of that energy to do useful work —
for example for electricity generation, water desalination, or
the pumping of water (into reservoirs).
Tidal power, sometimes also called tidal energy, is a

form of hydropower that converts the energy of tides into
electricity or other useful forms of power.
Geothermal power (from the Greek roots geo, meaning earth, and
thermos, meaning heat) is power extracted from heat stored in the
earth. This geothermal energy originates from the original formation of
the planet, from radioactive decay of minerals, and from solar energy
absorbed at the surface.
Biomass
A renewable energy
source, is biological
material derived from
living, or recently living
organisms, such as
wood, waste, and
alcohol fuels. Biomass is
commonly plant matter
grown to generate
electricity or produce
heat.

Global Policies, Frameworks & Agreements

• Acknowledging that change in the Earth’s climate and its adverse effects are
a common concern of humankind;
• Concerned that human activities have been substantially increasing the

atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases, that these increases
enhance the natural greenhouse effect, and that this will result on average
in an additional warming of the Earth’s surface and atmosphere and may
adversely affect natural ecosystems and humankind;
• Recognizing that States should enact effective environmental legislation.


The Philippine Government pledged

to reduce emissions by
5% from 1990 levels
The Philippines intends to

undertake GHG (CO2e) emissions
reduction of about 70% by 2030
relative to its BAU scenario of
2000-2030. Reduction of CO2e
emissions will come from energy,
transport, waste, forestry and
industry sectors.


…the State has adopted the Philippine Agenda

21 framework which espouses sustainable
development, to fulfill human needs while
maintaining the quality of the natural environment for
current and future generations.
- SECTION 2 RA 9729

As a party
to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate
Change, the State adopts the ultimate objective of the
Convention which is
the stabilization of greenhouse gas
concentrations…
- SECTION 2 RA 9279

It shall be the policy of the State

to enjoin the participation of national and local
governments, businesses, non-government
organizations, local communities and the public to
prevent and reduce the adverse
impacts of climate change and, at the same time,
maximize the benefits of climate
change.
SPP-BB-01 CLIMATE CHANGE, GLOBAL WARMING & GREEN BUILDINGS - SECTION 2 RA 9729
As a party to the Hyogo Framework for

Action, the State likewise adopts the strategic goals
in order to build national and local
resilience to climate change-related disasters.
- SECTION 2 RA 9729
