What is climate change ?
Is a significant time variation in wether patterns occuring over

periods ranging from decades to millions of years
Climate change may refer to a change in average weather conditions
or in the time variation of weather around longer term average
conditions.
Climate change is caused by factors such as radiation received by
earth, plate tectonics and volcanic eruptions.
Certain humans activities
have also been identified as
significant causes of recent
climate change often
referred to as “Global
Warming ”.
This cause impacts on
health, agriculture, forest,
water resources, coastal
areas and species and
natural areas.
Understanding the causes
Over the last 50 years human activity particularly the burning of
fossil fuels have released sufficient quantities of carbon dioxide
and other greenhouse gases to trap additional heat in the lower
atmosphere and affect the global climate.
In the last 100 years, the world has warmed by approximately
0.75•C. From last 3 decades has been continuously warmer than
any preceding decade since 1850
Sea level are rising, glaciers
are melting and
precipitation patterns are
changing. Extreme weather
events are becoming more
intense and frequent.
Climate change affects the
social and environmental
determinants of health,
clean air, safe drinking
water, sufficient food and
secure shelter.
Climate change has brought about several and possibly
permanent alterations to our planet geological, biological and
ecological systems.
The intergovernmental panel on climate change (IPCC)
contended in 2003 that there is new and stronger evidence that
most of the warming observed over last 50 years is attributed to
human activities
These changes have led to the emergence of large scale
environmental hazards to human health such as extreme weather
ozone depletion loss of biodiversity, stresses to food production
systems and the global spread of infectious.
The World Health Organisation estimated that 160,000 deaths are
due to climate change
The majority of the adverse
effects of climate change
are experienced by poor and
low income communities
around the world.
A report on global human
impact of climate change
published by the Global
Humanitarian Forum in
2009 estimated more than
300,000 deaths and about
$125 billion in economic
losses each year.
Impact of Climate Change
1. Health Impact
Climate has changed poses a wide range of risks to populations
health risks that will increase in future decades often to critical
levels if global climate change continues on its current trajectory.
The three main categories of health health risk include :
(i) Direct acting effects example due to heat waves amplified air pollution and
physical water disaster.
(ii) Impact mediated via coimate related changes in ecological systems and
relationships. Example crop yields marine productivity.
(iii) The more diffuse (indirect) consequences relating to impoverishment,
displacement, resource conflict (e.g. water) and post disaster mental health problems.
Agricultural Impact
Global warming is projected to have significant impacts on
conditions affecting agriculture, including temperature, carbon
dioxide, glacial runoff, precipitation and the interactions of these
elements.
The overall effect of climate change on agriculture will depend on
the balance of these effects.
Land use change such as deforestation and desertification, together with the use of
fossil fuels are the major anthropogenic sources of carbon dioxide.
Drought are result in crop failures and the loss of pastures grazing land for livestock.
Drought have been occurring more frequently because of global warming and they
are expected to became more frequent and intense in Africa, Southern Europe, The
Middle East, Australia and southern Asia.
Water resources impact
Climate change is creating major consequences for water resources

through its impacts on plants hydrology.
Hydrology, a physical science, encompasses the distribution,
movement and quality of water in Earth system.
Water resources are important to both society and eco- system. We
depend on clean supply drinking of water to sustain our health. And
for ecosystems energy production, recreation and manufacturing.
The water cycle is a delicate
balance of precipitation,
evaporation and all of the
steps in between.
Warmer temperatures
increase the rate of
evaporation of water into
atmosphere, in effect
increasing the atmosphere
capacity to hold water.
The amount of water
available for these activities
may reduced as earth warms.
Impact on species and natural areas
Our planet is warming faster than at any time in past 10,000
years. With these changes, species have to adapt to new climate
patterns.
Because of global warming many consequences have resulted
from human emissions of greenhouse gases.
The consequences include habitat loss- shoft in climate
conditions and in habitat that surpass migration capabilities
altered competitive relationships.
World Wide Fund (WWF) scientists have estimated that most
species on these planet will have to move faster than 1,000 meter
per year if they need for survival.
These effects will generally mean that a number of habitat types
will became fragile and some species will benefit at higher risk of
disappearing because they have no possibility for moving to other
areas or time to adapt.
Solution for climate change
Sustainable agriculture
Sustainable agriculture is farming in such way to protect the

environment, aid and expand natural resources and to make the
best use of no renewable resources.
Practices that can cause long term damage to soil include
excessive tilling of the soil and irrigation without adequate
drainage.
Sustainable agriculture is crucial in addressing many of the
environmental and social challenges we face, including climate
change, soil erosion, water pollution, loss of biodiversity, and food
security. It offers a way to produce food while minimizing harm to
the environment and ensuring the well-being of both farmers and
consumers.
By adopting sustainable agriculture practices, we can work towards

a more resilient, equitable, and environmentally responsible food
system that meets the needs of the present without compromising
the ability of future generations to do the same.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Learn to reduce :
Its a best method for keeping the environment clean so its
the first of the 3 ‘s. Making less wants to begin with means there
less waste to clean up.
Learn to reuse :
Reusing is taking old or unwanted items you might otherwise throw
away and finding a new use for them
Learn to recycle: Recycling is the last and
most commonly used of the 3 R’S. Recycling is
changing discarded materials into new products in order to avoid
using more virgin resources.
Reforestation and afforestation
Reforestation : It is
a process of replanting trees in areas that were once forested but
have been deforested. It aims to restore ecosystems, sequester
carbon, protect soil, manage water, and provide economic
benefits.
Afforestation :
Afforestation
involves establishing forests
on lands that haven’t been
forested recently. It creates
new forests, sequesters
carbon, enhances
biodiversity, and provides
various ecological benefits.

Conclusion
Addressing climate change requires a comprehensive and

coordinated effort at local, national, and global levels. Transitioning
to clean energy sources, improving energy efficiency, and adopting
sustainable practices in agriculture, among other strategies, can help
mitigate its impacts. Additionally, enhancing resilience through
adaptation measures is essential to cope with the changes that are
already underway.
