Climate Change and Its Impact

Climate change poses significant threats to tourism, biodiversity, and global economies, driven primarily by greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels, deforestation, and agriculture. The impacts include habitat loss, unpredictable weather patterns, and increased health risks, leading to substantial economic losses. Solutions involve transitioning to renewable energy, enhancing energy efficiency, and fostering global cooperation to mitigate its effects.

The Science of Climate
Change
What Is Climate Change?
Long-term warming driven by rising greenhouse gases.

Key Gases
CO2, methane, and nitrous oxide trap heat in the atmosphere.

Temperature Rise
1.1°C increase since pre-industrial times.

Consensus
97% of scientists confirm human-driven climate change.
Causes of Climate Change
Fossil Fuels Deforestation Industry Agriculture

Coal, oil, and gas cause Forest loss reduces Cement production and Livestock and fertilizers
76% of emissions. nature’s carbon removal by chemicals contribute 5.2%. add 10% of emissions.
11%.
Climate Change Impacts
on Tourism
Attraction Loss

Season Shifts
Ski and beach seasons are becoming unpredictable.

Extreme Weather
Storms disrupt travel and damage infrastructure.

Economic Losses
Tourism revenue falls; insurance costs rise.
Climate Change
Impacts on Biodiversity
Habitat Loss
Species face extinction from fragmentation and loss.

Shifting Ranges
Species migrate; invasive species disrupt ecosystems.

Marine life faces harm from changing ocean chemistry.

Extinction Rates
Rates exceed natural levels by 100 to 1000 times.
Climate Change
Impacts on the
Economy
Agricultural Decline
Reduced productivity threatens food security globally.

Disasters
More frequent storms disrupt infrastructure and supply chains.

Health Risks
Heat illnesses and disease spread increase sharply.

Economic Losses
Estimated 11-14% GDP loss by 2100 globally.
Solutions: Mitigating Climate Change
Renewable Energy
Switch to solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal power.

Energy Efficiency
Optimize buildings, transport, and industrial processes.
