CLIMATE CHANGE - MODERN

CHALLENGES AND SOLUTIONS


Introduction
◦ Climate change refers to long-
term shifts in global weather
patterns due to human activities
and natural processes
◦ It poses significant threats to our
environment, ecosystems, and
the well-being of future
generations
Causes of Climate
Change
◦ The primary cause of
climate change is the
increased concentration of
greenhouse gases, such as
carbon dioxide and
methane , in the
atmosphere
Impacts of Climate Change

Rising global temperatures


Changes in precipitation
lead to melting ice caps,
patterns affect agriculture,
sea-level rise, and
water availability, and
extreme weather events
biodiversity, endangering
like hurricanes, droughts,
ecosystems and species
and heatwaves
Consequences for Society

Vulnerable communities,
Climate change poses risks
particularly in developing
to human health, food
countries, are
security, water resources,
disproportionately
and economic stability
affected by these impacts
Mitigation Strategies

Transitioning to renewable
Mitigation involves energy sources, improving
reducing greenhouse gas energy efficiency, and
emissions to limit the adopting sustainable
extent of climate change practices are key
mitigation strategies
Adaptation Measures

This includes developing


Adaptation focuses on climate-resilient
adjusting to the changing infrastructure,
climate to minimize harm implementing effective
and build resilience water management
strategies
Role of Innovation

Innovations in renewable
Technological energy, carbon capture
advancements play a and storage, sustainable
crucial role in addressing agriculture, and
climate change transportation can drive
sustainable development
International Cooperation

The Paris Agreement,


signed by almost all
Global collaboration is
countries, aims to limit
essential to tackle climate
global warming and
change effectively
enhance adaptive
capacities
Individual and Community Actions

Making sustainable
choices in transportation,
Every individual and
energy consumption,
community can contribute
waste management, and
to climate action
supporting local initiatives
are impactful steps
Climate change is a pressing
modern challenge with wide-
ranging impacts

By adopting mitigation and


adaptation strategies,
Conclusion fostering innovation, and
working together
