Climate change
- MitigationAttempts to reduce the causes of climate change.
- AdaptationAttempts to manage the impacts of climate change
Mitigation vs adaptation
Mitigation vs adaptation
Mitigation
- Reduction of energy consumption
- Reduction of emissions of oxides of nitrogen and methane from agriculture
- Use of alternatives to fossil fuels
- Geo-engineering
Strategies that reduce greenhouse effect
- Land management to enhance and protect carbon sinks
- Using biomass as a fuel source
- Using carbon capture and storage (CCS)
Strategies to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere (CDR)
Adaptation
- Designed to reduce the adverse affects of climate change and to maximize any positive effects
- Via the various climate change agreements, MEDCs have agreed to provide economic and technological support to LEDCs
Adaptation Strategies
Choose two countries: (MEDC vs LEDC)
Assess the use of energy in two contrasting countries. Discuss the choices that those two societies make and explain the factors determining these choices, including:
- sustainability
- scientific and technological developments
- cultural attitudes
- political, economic and environmental factors
- Predicted changes in those two contrasting locations.
- Best mitigation techniques for each of the countries.
Create a case study
- List the stores you would find inside the climate system.
- Identify the flows of energy and/or matter which enter and leave the climate system.
- Decide if you think the climate system is closed or open.
- Draw a system diagram to represent these stores and flows.
- Can you identify if they are transfers or transformations?
