PLANETARY

NETWORKS
PLANETARY NETWORKS
It refers to the
interconnections and
interrelations among the
various elements in the natural
environment enveloping and
affecting Earth as well as
elements beyond Earth surface.

2
PLANETARY NETWORKS
It also cover natural
resources as well as the flora and
fauna and other living organisms
which when heavily exploited and
exhausted shall cause detrimental
effects on Earth’s natural cycle
and function.

 CLIMATE
CHANGE &
GLOBAL
WARMING

4
 GLOBAL WARMING
It refers to the rising of
global average temperature of
Earth’s surface due to the
thinning of the ozone layer in
Earth’s stratosphere.

5
 The depletion of the ozone
layer is caused by human activities,
primarily the burning of fossil fuels
(coal, natural gas, and petroleum)
which emit carbon dioxide and other
dangerous gasses called the
greenhouse gasses (nitrous oxide
(N2O), methane (CH4), sulfur
hexafluoride (SF6), perfluorocarbons,
and hydrofluorocarbons.

7
 CLIMATE CHANGE
It refers to the major
changes in the climate pattern
that last for a long periods of
time, up to decades or more

8
 Different areas on Earth
experience warmer-than-average
temperatures, as well as wetter-
that-average and drier-than-average
conditions. Scientists now have
recorded the El Niño–La Niña
phenomena that disrupt the normal
weather pattern on the planet.

9
 EL NIÑO
It happens when the
warmer-than-average surface
water moves eastward and settles
in the tropical eastern Pacific,
resulting in an unusual heavier
rainfall in the northwestern parts
of South America.

10
 LA NIÑA
It happens when the
Western Pacific areas experience
warmer-than-average surface
water, leaving eastern Pacific
cooler-than-average with more
upwelling of cold water from the
deep ocean.

Threatening Impacts of Global Warming
(Charles Harper, 2001)

1. Reduction of agricultural yield

and grain productivity which can
lead to food shortage.

12
Threatening Impacts of Global Warming
(Charles Harper, 2001)

2. Rise of sea level which will

endanger the population living in
the coastal areas, will submerge
rice farms in the river deltas, and
will push high tides and storm
surges further inland.

13
Threatening Impacts of Global Warming
(Charles Harper, 2001)

3. Decrease in freshwater supply

caused by reduced stream flow
and water salinity will make an
upstream movement.

14
Threatening Impacts of Global Warming
(Charles Harper, 2001)

4. Increase in human health risks

posed by heat stress as well as
wider and faster spread of
tropical illnesses.

15
Threatening Impacts of Global Warming
(Charles Harper, 2001)

5. Consistent warming patterns

mean an increase in energy
consumption for air-conditioning,
hydropower shortage, and
diminished revenues from
fisheries and tourism.

16
Threatening Impacts of Global Warming
(Charles Harper, 2001)

6. Enormous cost of prevention,

rehabilitation, and adaptation to
climate change can take a heavy
toll on the global economy.

17
CONSUMPTION &
PRODUCTION
PATTERNS
AFFECTING
CLIMATE CHANGE

18
 Aside from the burning of fossil
fuels, other causes of climate change
can be traced from the production
patterns and the consumption
patterns of humans.

19
PRODUCTION PATTERNS
It refers to how people
generate and manufacture the
products they need to use, sell,
or consume.

20
CONSUMPTION PATTERNS
It involves the use of
economic or consumer goods
and resources.

21
 Consumption patterns are
considered as the key driver to the
use of resources. Ecosystems and
landscapes are influenced by
consumption patterns. Ecosystem
resiliency is affected by the way the
land is utilized.

22
 Spatial planning is central to
the management of landscape and
ecosystem resiliency.

23
 SPATIAL PLANNING
The methods and
approaches used in distribution
of, among others, people and
activities in spaces of various
scales.

24
 Another major cause of climate
change which can be associated with
production and consumption pattern
is carbon footprint.

25
 CARBON FOOTPRINT
A measure of the total
amount of carbon dioxide and
methane emissions of a defined
population, system, or activity …
within the spatial and temporary
boundary of the population,
system or activity of interest.

26
 Most carbon footprint for the
average households come from
indirect sources such as purchasing a
product that has gone through
several processes from extraction of
raw materials, to its manufacture,
transportation, and storage in stores.

27
 The farther the product has
gone through before reaching the
final consumer, the larger carbon
footprint it has.

28
29
 The carbon footprint of a
person, an organization, or a nation
can be measured through GHG
assessment or calculation known as
carbon accounting.

30
 CARBON OFFSETTING
It is the reduction of
carbon footprint by using other
options such as wind or solar
energy.

31
 The most common method in
shrinking the size of carbon footprint
is the 3Rs – reduce, reuse, recycle.

32
 CARBON HANDPRINT
MOVEMENT
A movement which calls
for the reduction of one’s
carbon footprint and increase
his/her “handprint,” which is
the positive environmental and
social impacts one has given for
the planet.

33
 At the government level, at
least three schemes have been
initiated to reduce carbon emissions:
1. Kyoto Protocol (2005)
2. Emission certificates
3. Carbon offsetting

34
 KYOTO PROTOCOL
An international treaty
which specifies legally binding
targets and time frames for
reducing or stopping the GHG
emissions of the industrialized
countries.

35
EMISSION CERTIFICATE
It guarantees a product
resource efficiency which can
help in increasing s ales,
decreasing cost, and boosting
brand loyalty. It also enables a
manufacturer to gain
international recognition for the
product.

36
 INDIVIDUAL
ACTIONS THAT
CAN MITIGATE
CLIMATE
CHANGE

37
 CIGARETTE SMOKING
Cigarette smoking is bad
for one’s health and for other
people’s. as an effect to the
environment, smoking
contributes to air pollution.

38
 FOOD WASTING
Wasting food is disrespect
and disregard for nature and for
the people who raised and
prepared them.

39
IRRESPONSIBLE USE OF
ENERGY

Turn off everything when

not in use. Save energy.

40
 PAPER WASTING

Wasting paper is wasting

nature and the energy used for
its production and
manufacture.

41
CARING FOR THE
ENVIRONMENT
AND DELAYING
CLIMATE
CHANGE

42
 The school is one of the
primary agents for teaching,
developing, and promoting
environment-friendly actions. It can
include courses collectively known
as the green curriculum.

43
 GREEN CURRICULUM

These are learning

experiences integrated to formal
education which promotes care
and protection of the
environment. It also prepare
students to lead the world toward
a healthier, cleaner, more
sustainable future.

44
 There is urgency to resolve the
problems caused by climate change.
The problems have existed for
decades, and their negative effects
are threatening human existence
and other living things. What can
now be done is to prevent climate
change form worsening and to adapt
to the situation.

45
 MITIGATION

It involves practices,
policies, and technologies to
prevent global warming from
getting worse or to slow it
down.

46
 ADAPTATION

It call for the adjustment

of lifestyle and introduction of
adaptive changes in the areas of
industry, health, and energy
supply that can be easily carried
out without huge spending
from the government.

47
 Everyone is responsible for
delaying climate change. Being an
inhabitant of Earth, you have an
obligation to contribute to the
solution of global problems involving
the environment.

48
 One of the successful stories of
adaptation is Germany, which is the
biggest producer in Europe of
biogas. Germany has also set up
facilities to harness wind and solar
energies on a national scale. Some
laws, for example, encourage
farmers to supply organic materials
for the production of biogas.

49
 RA 9729
CLIMATE CHANGE ACT OF 2009

The law that created the

Climate Change Commission
(tasked with coordinating,
monitoring, and evaluating
government programs on
climate change.

50
 RA 9729
CLIMATE CHANGE ACT OF 2009

It also formed the

National Strategic Framework
on Climate Change (NSFCC)
which envisions the Philippines
as a climate risk-resilient
country.

51
 NATIONAL CLIMATE
CHANGE SECRETARIAT

it involves the households

in its climate change programs.

52
NATIONAL ENVIRONMENT
AGENCY
Tasked to conduct studies
of the country’s environmental
capability and prepare long-
term plans for its environmental
security.

53
 At the global level, member-
nations of the UN ratified the UN
Framework Convention on Climate
Change (UNFCCC) to come up with
strategies to address the effects of
climate change.

54
 In 1995, the first Conference of
Parties (COP) was held in Berlin to
evaluate the weaknesses of UNFCCC
and strengthen commitments by
setting policies, objectives, and time
frames.

55
 In 1997, the Kyoto Protocol
was established, providing targets
and timetables for the huge
reduction of emissions by many
nations.

56
 In 2015, the Paris Agreement
was adopted to make countries
promise to reduce GHG emissions
with the goal to hold the increase in
the global average temperature to
less than 2°C, and to limit the GHG
emissions to what the trees, soil,
and oceans can naturally absorb
starting anytime between 2050 and
2100.
