Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. These shifts may be
natural, but since the 1800s, human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily
due to the burning of fossil fuels (like coal, oil, and gas), which produces heat-trapping gases.
 Andaman and
Nicobar Islands are
very rich with
aquarium fishes
and it is very easy
to transport them
to Oceanarium by
sea without
incurring the cost
of flying them
from abroad.

Patricia and Phillip Frost Museum of Science

Frost Museum of Science (Frost Science) in Miami, FL brings

together an aquarium, planetarium and science museum onto one
campus in downtown Miami’s Museum Park. Taking advantage of the
city’s plentiful sunshine, ocean breezes from nearby Biscayne Bay and
views to a growing downtown skyline, the inventive architecture of the
museum furthers Miami-Dade County’s cultural offerings in a
sophisticated, contemporary building.

 Sustainability is at the heart of the Frost Science mission. Part of that mission is understanding
how we affect the environment, how it affects us and how innovation can lead to a better future.
This is especially important given Miami’s unique location on a narrow strip of land between the
ocean and the Everglades.
 While Frost Science programs raise awareness of positive steps every visitor can take to
improve the environment, the building and grounds are designed to express the best practices in
green building design, construction and operation, as well as utilizing the latest green
technologies.
 Natural ventilation and open air circulation are key drivers. Shading opportunities, especially for
the shark tank, are driving mechanical design decisions to drastically reduce energy
dependency.
 Water use will be substantially reduced through innovative tank design, and capture and re-use
of storm water for cooling tower make up.
 the building embodies a striking balance of aesthetics and energy efficient design.

The Climate and Biodiversity
Week, which runs from
October 3-9 brings together
experts and innovators from
across the globe for a series
of panel discussions, tackling
everything from carbon
footprints and single-use
plastics to clean energy
adoption and recycling.
Many countries' pavilions
across the Expo site highlight
their pioneering efforts to
battle overconsumption,
overproduction, and
sustainable management of
resources.

Country pavilions tackling climate change on Expo 2020’s ‘People for Planet’ journey
  The Austria Pavilion features a start-up that collects food waste and repurposes it into gourmet food and other edibles,
underlining the need for reusability.
 Visitors to the Bulgaria Pavilion can sample coffee from edible cups and see the innovation of biodegradable laminating foil.
 Finland is making waves with its vertical farming system and zero waste agricultural technologies, based on the principles of
circular economy, which will be showcased at the Nordic nation's pavilion.
 The Bangladesh Pavilion demonstrates how its ban on single-use plastics paved the way for seeking newer biodegradable
alternatives in different fields.
 The Comoros Pavilion is highlighting its journey into a sustainable future through effective recycling of plastics and other
waste materials.

 Speakers and collaborators from across the world will present case studies and real-life experiences to help uncover solutions to
the biggest environmental issues.
 At the Slovenia Pavilion, visitors learn how to become part of the solution in the areas of equitable development, nature
conservation and technological advances.
 The net-zero energy, rainforest-inspired Singapore Pavilion explores our journey towards livability and resilience in a
