WHAT IS WEATHER?

Weather is the state of the

atmosphere, describing for
example the degree to
which it is hot or cold, wet or
dry, calm or stormy, clear or
cloudy. Most weather
phenomena occur in the
lowest level of the
atmosphere, the
troposphere, just below the
stratosphere.
 • is the long-term
changes in the
weather patterns in
a region

After the World War in 1960, the industrial revolution started to rise, the red spikes are consistent from
then on…
GLOBAL WARMING
More Green House Gases
Heating More our Mother Earth
• The Earth’s
Atmosphere is heated
up beyond normal
because human
activities increase the
blanket of
Greenhouse Gases in
the Atmosphere
EFFECTS OF GLOBAL WARMING
• 10% Reduction of Agricultural
Yields
• Extinction of Plants and
Animal Species
• Extreme Weather Events
• Rise Dengue Cases
• Increase Rainfall Patterns
• Sea Level Rise
• Flooding
Enhanced
Greenhouse
Effect Due to
presence of
more GHG
practically
changes our
Climate
Adaptation is defined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) as ‘the
process of adjustment to actual or expected climate and its effects’
More Secure Facility & Structures
Landscape Restoration (Reforestation)
Climate-Smart Agriculture
Research and Development (Possible Catastrophe, Temperature, etc)
Preventive and Precautionary Measures(Evacuation Plans, Health Issues)
