Difference in Weather and Climate
Weather: refers to short term of atmospheric
condition like today is hot day, cold, rainy, sunny,
cloudy weather etc.
Climate: refers to average weather patterns over a
long period of time of 30 years.
Elements of Weather & Climate
Gases
Dust particles
Water vapors
Humidity
Clouds
Precipitation
Altitude
Latitude
Ocean currents
Sunshine duration
Temperature
Atmospheric pressure
Wind speed & direction

Impacts of Climate Change
Warming and sea level rise will continue and will probably
occur more quickly than what we’ve already seen
Even if greenhouse gases are stabilized, this will probably
continue to occur for centuries
Some effects may be permanent
Impacts of Climate Change
Impacts of Climate Change
Effects on Ecosystems
–Coral systems and other unique ecosystems cannot handle higher
temperatures well
–Wildfires will increase
–Up to 30% of species will be at increased risk for extinction due to
the rapid changes in their ecosystems
Effects in North America
Warming in western mountains: several effects
Increased rain: will actually help some crops
Heat waves will increase in number, length, and intensity
Coastal communities will be affected by increased
flooding and storms
Natural Disasters
Types of Natural Disasters
NATURAL DISASTERS OVER THE WORLD
( WITHIN THE LAST DECADE)
1)Emergence of corona virus, Total death of people in
worldwide 6,963,000 (2019-2024) 1.USA 1,190,200
death and Pakistan 30,664 death
2)The deadliest tropical cyclone known as Typhoon Rai
which caused 410 fatalities
in Philippines, Estimated cost 75.25 billion USD(2021)
1)Pakistan floods, killed people 1,839, and caused Rs:
3.2 trillion, $ 14.8 billion (2022)
2)TURKEY-SYRIA earthquakes up to 7.8 Richter scale,
DETAILS OF COP 28
Nov 30, 2023 to 13 Dec, 2023, the 28th meeting of the Conference of
the Parties mostly known as(COP28) or the United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) will be held atExpo City,
Dubai in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The UAE has outlined four themes for COP28: technology and innovation,
inclusion, frontline communities, and finance.
The Incoming Presidency of COP28 has outlined four key areas of focus
on during the conference: Fast-tracking the energy transition and reducing
emissions before 2030.
HOW TO PREVENT CLIMATE CHANGE ?!
Switching tosustainable transportation
Improving farming and encourage vegan diets
Restoring nature ( Forestation) to absorb more carbon
Protecting forests likethe Amazon
Protecting the oceans
Reducing plastic
Global partnership to obey climate laws
