Some of the climate change
effects in Nature
.

Effectson
Forests-
Climate change effects vary in different
types of forests.
 The semi-polar northern forests are
particularly prone to be affected, with
tree lines gradually falling to the north
as temperatures rise.
 In tropical forests such as the Amazon,
where biodiversity is abundant, even
levels of climate change can cause high
levels of extinction

Effectson
Wildlife-
 Global warming is the main cause of species
extinction in this century.
 The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC, 2012) says the average increase
is between 1.5 degree Celsius from 20-30% of
threatened species.
 If the planet warms more than 2 degrees
Celsius, most ecosystems will fight for this.
 Many threatened species live in areas in the
world that will be severely affected by climate
change.
 Climate change effects are happening very
quickly so many species are having problems
to adapt this.

Effectsinthe
PolarRegions
Climate change swells in Polar
Regions.
The northern and southern sides of
the earth are crucial to the
regulation of our planet’s climate
and are particularly vulnerable to
the effects of global warming and it
has global consequences.

Effectson
Oceans-
 Climate change effects can also be seen on oceans .
 Oceans are vital “carbon pools”, absorbing huge amounts of
CO2, preventing them from reaching the upper atmosphere.
 Increasing water temperatures and higher CO2
concentrations than normal, making the oceans more acidic,
already have an impact on the oceans.
 Because of the climate change effects oceans are already
undergoing extensive changes at a temperature of 1 degree
Celsius, with a critical threshold of 1.5 degree Celsius and
above expected. Coral reefs are expected to decrease by 70-
90% at 1.5 degree Celsius.
 When the temperature rises 2 degrees Celsius, almost all
coral reefs will be lost.
 It is not only a tragedy for wildlife: about half a billion people
depend on coral reef fish as their main source of protein.

Effectson
Freshwater-
Climate change effects are
severely affecting global water
systems through more floods and
droughts.
 Warmer air may contain higher
water content, making rain patterns
more extreme (Kijne, 2011).

Effects onthe
ArcticIceCrisis-
The increase in greenhouse gases
increases the temperature, which can
have harmful effects on the environment
and the environment.
 The rise in environmental temperatures
caused the Arctic ice to drop

Effectsonthe
Changesin
Precipitation
Pattern-
Over the past two decades,
precipitation, droughts, hurricanes,
and floods have become more
frequent.
 Although some areas suffer from
heavy rains, there are areas that
suffer from drought throughout the
year.

Effectson
Extreme
Weather
 According to the National Climate Assessment,
extreme weather events will continue to
increase in frequency and intensity as climate
change continues to happen.
 Extreme weather influenced by climate change
includes:
 Stronger storms & hurricanes;
 Heatwaves;
 Wildfires;
 More flooding,
 and Heavier droughts.

Effectson
HabitalLoss
Long waves of heat, deforestation,
forest fires and high temperatures
caused plants and animals to rise.
Worst of all, most cannot survive
due to changing climatic conditions
and have moved on to more dignity
(EPA, 2016).

Effectson
WildlifeLoss
Forest fires, deforestation, and habitat
change have caused many species to
disappear, some of which have caused
nausea and others have migrated
elsewhere.

economy:
 Globalization has led to the rapid development of
industries, nations, and economies worldwide.
 Countries have become so interconnected and
reliant on each other for trade, manufacturing, and
procurement that issues starting in one nation may
end up causing major economic impacts for a
multitude of others on the other side of the world.
 Natural disasters can have long-lasting effects on
both small and large-scale economies, often
occurring randomly, and without warning, major
natural disasters have been few and far between.
 However, as a result of climate change, certain types
of disasters are becoming more destructive and
frequent and are threatening to impact the global
economy (Vincent Diringer, 2020)

Community
Damage
As severe storms and large-scale inclement
weather events become more frequent due to
climate change, the costs associated with
repairing both the physical damage and the
associated economic loss begin to take on new
heights.
 As the impacts of climate change have
worsened for the past few decades, the human
and economic costs associated with
environmental disasters have continued to
climb, underlining the need for large-scale
wide-ranging policies to be implemented to
reduce carbon emissions and mitigate the
effects of climate change.

Agricultural
Insecurity
 Climate change is affecting the Earth’s biota, changing weather
patterns have altered farming cycles, and degraded environments
are reducing the effectiveness of agricultural techniques.
 The impacts of climate change will be different across the world,
making research into agricultural adaptation necessary on a local
scale.
 While the issues affecting specific locations will be as diverse as the
local environments themselves, a consensus has formed that the
effects of climate change will severely affect food security.
 The effects of climate change on agriculture illustrates the inequality
created by its impacts.
 Poorer nations will be less robust agricultural sectors, limited access
to adaptive solutions, and unable to pay to upgrade their
infrastructure will be left behind as larger, richer nations are able to
cope with changing weather patterns and lower crop yields.
 Increasing temperatures and changing rainfall patterns are
expected to aggravate the issues in already water-insecure areas,
encouraging drought conditions and destabilizing local economies

Environmental
Migrants
 Climate change will impact several aspects of human life, but
large displacements of people have the potential to create a
humanitarian crisis.
 The United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR)
sees the consequences of climate change as “extremely
serious”, acknowledging the dangers environmental
degradation will have directly on public health as well as that
of mass migrations.
 Harsher climates coupled with stronger storms along with a
growing lack of food and water security will drive migrants
towards better-faring regions.
 These conditions are already a reality, with displacements of
various scales recorded globally in response to major
environmental disasters – however, more support is needed to
efficiently manage these situations

Others
 Insurance, GDP, Employment, Immigration,
National Security, Food Prices, etc. are all
influenced by climate change.
 In 2014 the U.S. Department of Defence released a
report that stated climate change posed a severe
and immediate threat to national security.
 According to former Secretary of Defence, Chuck
Hagel, “Rising global temperatures, changing
precipitation patterns, climbing sea levels, and
more extreme weather events will intensify the
challenges of global instability, hunger, poverty,
and conflict.”
 Furthermore, climate change is likely to cause
economic challenges in many parts of the world.

Other
 Due to human-caused climate change, and
future costs are projected to be even higher.
 However, putting an exact number on the
real costs of climate change is difficult once
you consider the staggering costs of losing
natural resources like clean air and water.
 The long term impact of climate change
could be absolutely devastating to the planet
and everyone and everything living on it.
 If the world continues on its current
trajectory, then we will likely continue to see
increasing effects on everyday life

andhealth:
 Climate change, together with other natural and human-made
health stressors, influences human health and disease in
numerous ways.
 Some existing health threats will intensify and new health
threats will emerge.
 For example, changes in temperature and precipitation are
increasing health risks associated with wildfire and ground-
level ozone pollution.
 Rising air and water temperatures and more intense extreme
events are expected to shift exposure to waterborne and
foodborne diseases, affecting food and water safety.
 With continued warming, cold-related deaths are projected to
decrease and heat-related deaths are projected to increase,
and in most regions, increases in heat-related deaths are
expected to outpace reductions in cold-related deaths

Someofthe

 . Climate change is also projected to alter the geographic
range and distribution of insects and pests, potentially
exposing more people to ticks and mosquitoes that carry the
agents that cause diseases like Lyme disease, Zika,West Nile
and dengue.
 Finally, extreme weather and climate-related events can have
lasting mental health consequences in affected communities,
particularly if they result in degradation of livelihoods or
community relocation.
 The impacts on health due to climate change are both place-
specific and path-dependent, meaning the impacts of climate
change depend on where you are and who you are, as there
are varying degrees of climate exposure and differences in
individual and societal characteristics that can either protect
you or make you more vulnerable to the impacts of climate
change

Someofthe

andhealth:
 The graphic demonstrates that rising temperatures, more extreme
weather, rising sea levels, and increases in carbon dioxide levels, can
cause the following environmental conditions and subsequent health
impacts:
 a. Extreme heat, which can cause heat-related illness and death and
cardiovascular failure
 b. Severe weather, which can cause injuries, fatalities, and have
mental health impacts
 c. Changes in vector ecology, which can cause malaria, dengue,
encephalitis, hantavirus, Rift Valley fever, Lyme disease, chikungunya,
and West Nile virus
 d. Air pollution, which can cause asthma and cardiovascular disease
 e. Increasing allergies, which can cause respiratory allergies and
asthma
 f.Water Quality Impacts, which can cause cholera, cryptosporidiosis,
campylobacteria, leptospirosis, and harmful algal blooms

 g.Water and food supply impacts, which can cause
malnutrition and diarrheal disease
 h. Environmental degradation, which can cause
forced migration, civil conflict, and have mental
health impacts
 There are many ways in which climate change
could impact people’s health.
 Depending on age, location, and economic status,
climate change is already affecting the health of
many and has the potential to impact millions more.

Someofthe

andhealth:
 According to the Center for Disease Control and
Prevention, climate change-related health risks
may include:
 •Heat-related illness
 •Injuries and fatalities from severe weather
 ‧Sea level arising
 •Asthma & cardiovascular disease from air
pollution
 •Respiratory problems from increased allergens
 •Diseases from poor water quality
 •Water & food supply insecurities

CONCEPTUAL
SOLUTIONS
 a. Give up Fossil Fuels-Purchase Renewable Energy
Certificate for your home power needs
 b. Increase Your Efficiency-Make your home energy efficient.
In the same way, we can install more efficient refrigerators, air
conditioners and other efficient appliances. As you can
reduce electricity bills by just putting something as simple as
weatherproof windows in the house can reduce heating and
cooling bills.
 c.These kinds of efforts can also be useful in your workplace
also and will ultimately contributes to
 d. Climate change solutions.
 e. Updated Infrastructure- Energy-efficient buildings and
improved processes in the cement industry (such as the use of
alternative fuels for firing up of furnaces) can reduce the
greenhouse gas emissions in the developed countries and can
prevent them in the developing world

CONCEPTUAL
SOLUTIONS
 . f. Reduce Methane Emissions from Fracked Gas-
Reducing methane emissions is one of the cheapest,
easiest and most effective things governments can
do now to tackle climate change. Buy carbon offsets.
 g. Adopt a Plant-Based Diet
 h. Reduce Food Waste
 i. Recycle
 j. Stop Deforestations- This can result in ultimate
climate change solutions. Improved practices
combined with paper recycling and forest
management (the balance of the amount of wood
extracted with the number of new trees growing)
can quickly eliminate such a large amount of
emissions

THE POLICY
AND
MANAGEMENT
 The following policies may be referenced:
 A.The magnitude and direction of climate change impact on
agriculture.
 Most of the results show that climate change, especially
increasing temperature, is damaging.
 The effects of climate change on farmers’ net revenue per
hectare is very significant.
 This has a policy implication worth thinking about and
planning before damage occurs.
 Adaptation options include investment in technologies such
as irrigation, planting drought tolerant and early maturing
crop varieties, strengthening institutional set-ups working in
research, and educating farmers and encouraging ownership
of livestock, as owning livestock may buffer the effects of crop
failure or low yields during harsh climatic conditions.

THE POLICY
AND
MANAGEMENT
 B. Proper deforestation and afforestation will reduce
the suffering on ecosystems, forests, rivers, and
lakes, by the way, the sea level arising could be
controlled and the aquatic diversification in the sea
might be maintained.
 C.To hand out a policy on “land ethics”, such as
implement of land use planning and management,
setting up the guides on environmental protection
and sustainable environment, practice of energy-
saving and carbon-reducing life and legislation on
the advanced utilization of land, is very urgent to
draw attention to and effectively address
environmental problems

THE POLICY
AND
MANAGEMENT
 D. Forward-looking and diversity strategies on flood
damage mitigation should be a sensitive and necessary
policy for giving the people a safe and Peace of mind life
with rich production.
 E. If principles are too abstract or lofty ideal, the
practicalities of policies also beg for the inclusion of
social dimensions.
 Peoples and society are often silent but assumed
beneficiaries of international efforts and national policies.
 Simultaneously, however, they are the end-users of
climate technology and promulgators of climate solutions.
 They are also key actors in pressuring for social change,
whether that be via collective social movements or
individual actions.

THE POLICY
AND
MANAGEMENT
 Thus, practically speaking, the success of global climate responses
for both mitigation and adaptation can only be improved by, and may
very well depend on, integration of social dimensions alongside
technology, infrastructure, environmental science and other
predominant considerations.
 It is not only the right thing to do, it is a practical necessity. Investing
in human and social capital sets the stage for and maximizes the
impact of adaptation interventions.
 Similarly, robust institutions, well informed about current and future
impacts of climate change, will help people and governments to
prepare, design and implement an effective response to climate
impacts and increase the resilience of social institutions.
 Adaptation that is to benefit the most vulnerable people should
therefore comprise broader developmental and resilience-building
measures that empower people and reduce socially determined
vulnerability as well as specific measures that reduce vulnerability to
climate-related risks in the short and long term

THE POLICY
AND
MANAGEMENT
 F. Climate change impacts will place strains on public sector
budgets, particularly as the cost of infrastructure maintenance and
replacement increases while economic losses due to climate change
translate into lost tax revenues. Secondary effects of climate impacts
can include higher prices, reduced income, and job loss.
 The long-term and forward-looking diversifying water resources
policy, which including rational nation-land regulation,
Comprehensive water control, watershed overall plan, restoration of
ecosystem, diversified water resources development, reuse and
recycling of water, quality control of water, virtual reservoir and
water footprint, water saving and water price rational, should be
presented for turning the crisis into niche and creating a true, good
and beautiful water environment.
 G. Reconstruction of the government system will the proper experts
and strategies for facing the climate change would be an effective
policy. Let professional people do professional things to achieve
immediate results.
