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 PresentationTRANSCRIPT
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
Management of tropical rainforests such as
1048696 selective logging rather than clear cutting which isdamaging to whole ecosystem and unsustainable
1048696 protection for some hardwoods like mahogany
