CHANGING CLIMATESWhat is the difference between weather and climate? Why is the climate changing? What human activities affect climate change? What does our future look like?
GUIDELINE:
Climate and weather Global temperature Human causes Maintaining ecosystems Different scenarios An invisible threat
CHANGING EFFECTS AND IMPACTSWhat are the effects of climate change on the planet and ecosystems? How does climate change impact on different people around the world? Is everyone affected in the same way?
GUIDELINE: Climate change effects. Effects on the planet. Ecosystems. Impacts on people. Developed countries Emerging countries. Developing countries. Young people. Indigenous youth. Girls and young women. Islanders.
DANGERS AND THREATEN THE HUMANITY
GUIDELINE: Earthquakes and heatwaves Storms and tropical cyclones Floods and landslides Droughts and desertification Volcanoes Impact on people

ADAPTATION TO CLIMATE CHANGE BY REDUCING DISASTER RISKS: COUNTRY PRACTICES
.
GUIDELINE
Implementing disaster risk reduction as an adaptation strategy
Case examples of country experience: India (Pune), Maldives, Peru (Andian Highlands, South Africa (Overstrand), United Kingdom (London)
Lessons for implementation
Adaptation to climate change is a relatively new concern, but it can call on a rich tradition spanning many decades of practices to reduce disaster risks.
