DESCRIPTION

Challenges for the Planet. Climate Change. Changes in earth’s orbital geometry called Milankovitch mechanism. (eath wobbles on it’s axis) Changes in solar output (sun’s heat output changes) Catastrophic events e.g. Laki volcanic eruption in 1783 - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

TRANSCRIPT

Challenges for the Planet

Climate Changebull Changes in earthrsquos orbital geometry called Milankovitch mechanism (eath

wobbles on itrsquos axis)bull Changes in solar output (sunrsquos heat output changes)bull Catastrophic events eg Laki volcanic eruption in 1783- Killed vegetation which led to animals and humans dying- Western Europe had a bad harvest

Causes of Climate ChangeIncrease of greenhouse gases fromhellipbull Methane increased due to rise in live stock (15-20)bull Carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels eg oil (due to increase car

ownership)

Negative effects of Climate Change

bull Decrease in food production climate change may reduce harvest and prices increasing

bull Sea level rising temperatures will melt ice caps and increase sea levels Many areas will be under water

Example Bangladesh has more cyclones In 2007 Super Cyclone Sidr was 223 kmhr killed 3000+ people and affected 7 million in total

Response to Climate Change

Individual actionCase Study Live Sustainablybull Use local farmersbull Use a bikebull Recycle

International actionCase Study Live Sustainablybull 1997 Kyoto protocol agreed (178

countries sign a treaty to reduce green house gases)

bull 2007 Bali Conference (all nations agreed to tackle climate change)

Sustainable DevelopmentUN definitionDevelopment that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs

BP definitionA responsible business We run our business to achieve profitable consistent and sustainable performance

Nestle definitionCreation of long-term sustainable value for our consumers customers employees and society

Case Study for sustainable corporation Interface Inc

Largest manufacturer of commercial carpets in USA

Sustainable becausehellipbull Eliminate wastebull Use renewable energy sources eg

solarbull Use resource efficient transport

Case Study for transport Congestion Charge

Impact of Congestion Charge in Central Londonbull In 2006 70000 fewer vehicles in

the congestion charge zonebull Greenhouse gas emissions in

zone reduced by 20bull Pollutants that affect air quality

dropped by 12

Problems caused by resource extraction from the tropical rainforests

bull Deforestationbull Biodiversity loss (loss of plants and animals)bull Local conflict (local people do not gain)

Rainforest cut down becausehellipbull Making roadsbull For farming (growing crops and grazing animals)bull For fuel and wood

EcuadorTexaco agreed to pay $40 million to cover its share for cleanup of amongstother things some 160 of the 600 waste pits created But the chief of the localSecoya tribe stated that $6 billion was needed to do the job properlyMaxus energy extract oil from Yasuni National Park built underground pipeline (less of an environmental impact) Provided schools for the local Huaorani and Quichua tribes amp invested $60 million in environmentalprotection

MadagascarIn 2001 Givaudan a Swiss company sent a team to Madagascar to surveyfor new fragrances It developed 40 aromas that were then sold The companyshared the profits with local communities through conservation and developmentinitiatives

Rainforest Resource Extraction Case Studies
