    Climate Change Mitigation

    Uploaded by

    Rudra Pratap Singh
    This document discusses the impact of climate change and efforts to mitigate it. It begins by establishing that climate change is caused by human activity and is threatening the natural environment. It then outlines some of the key effects of climate change, including rising sea levels from melting glaciers that could sink islands. The document also discusses international agreements and national policies and programs that countries have implemented to combat climate change through mitigation efforts. It concludes by emphasizing that climate change is already occurring and will continue to worsen if not addressed, and that individuals have the power to reduce emissions through their choices.

    IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE AND

    EFFORTS TO MITIGATE IT
    INTRODUCTION
    “What is the use of house if you haven’t got a tolerable planet to put it on?”

    • Natural Environment as a Gift to Human Being

    • Loss of Natural Environment

    • Responsibility to protect environment


    Climate Change

    A change of climate which is attributed directly or indirectly to


    human activity that alters the composition of the global atmosphere
    and which is in addition to natural climate variability observed over
    comparable time.
    Effect Of Climate
    Change:
    Rise in sea level will result
    into sinking of many island.
    Effect Of Climate
    Change
    Melting of glacier will result
    in rise in sea level
    Effect Of Climate
    Change:
    climate change effects on
    agriculture.
    Effect Of Climate
    Change:
    climate change effects on
    animals.
    Effect Of Climate
    Change:
    Mount Kilimanjaro
    Effect Of Climate

    Climate Change Mitigation

    Mitigation involves human interventions to reduce the emissions of greenhouse


    gases by sources or enhance their removal from the atmosphere by “sinks”. A
    “sink” refers to forests, vegetation or soils that can reabsorb CO2. Carbon
    dioxide is the largest contributing gas to the greenhouse effect.

    Mitigation can mean using new technologies and renewable energies, making
    older equipment more energy efficient, or changing management practices or
    consumer behavior.
    International Efforts to Combat Climate
    Change
    Stock Holm Declaration 1972,

    United Nation Framework Convention on Climate Change 1992,

    Kyoto Protocol, 1997

    Conference of Parties

    Paris Agreement, 2015


    National Efforts For Mitigating Climate
    Change
    National Environment Policy, 2006
    Prime Minister’s Council on Climate Change
    The National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC),2007

    Climate Change Action Programme (CCAP)


    Conclusion
    We the human being are actually responsible for climate change. Climate
    change is not seen but already happening. Disregarding the fact of climate
    change does not make it less true and it is going to get extreme worse.

    It will be touching every area of life. The repercussion of climate change


    could be worse than which we are predicting.
    “Each one of us is a cause of global warming, but each one of us can
    make choices to change that with the things we buy, the electricity we
    use, the cars we drive; we can make choices to bring our individual
    carbon emissions to zero. The solutions are in our hands, we just
    have to have the determination to make it happen. We have
    everything that we need to reduce carbon emissions, everything but
    political will. But in America, the will to act is a renewable
    resource.”
