What will be the impacts of Climate change?

To understand that people everywhere will face climate change in the future

To understand some predicted global impactsTo gain an insight into possible risks for the UK

and Africa

Specification Statement-

Future climates are likely to present major challenges to the UK

and especially to people in the developing world

For earth day

• We are going to save paper. • All of these resources can be found on the wiki

and moodle should you wish to print them out.

Explanation of the effects of global warming in

both MEDCs and LEDCs

The effects of global warming in the UK

What impact may climate change have on this pattern? How will this affect us?

Watch the video

• Make notes on the Physical impacts of climate change and the human impacts of climate change

Africa• Large increases in numbers facing water scarcity.

• Projected reductions in the areas for growing crops, and in length of the growing season, mean increased risk of hunger. In some areas, yields could be reduced by up to 50% by 2020.

• Rising sea levels threaten large cities. Degradation of coral reefs and mangroves is likely, with impacts on local fisheries and tourism.

• Rising temperatures, coupled with over-fishing, will decrease the supply of fish from large lakes, with important impacts on food supplies.

• Arid or semi-arid areas in northern, western, eastern and parts of southern Africa are becoming drier, while equatorial Africa and other parts of southern Africa are getting wetter, the report says.

• The continent is, on average, 0.5C warmer than it was 100 years ago, but temperatures have risen much higher in some areas - such as a part of Kenya which has become 3.5C hotter in the past 20 years, the agencies report.

Earth Day- Africa focus

The climate zones of Africa.

Task 1:Describe the areas which are most at risk from climate change (3)

Earth Day- Africa focus

Watch this video from an NGO called Send a cow. Make notes on how the people shown (In Uganda) have been affected by climate change.

• What are the environmental and social impacts?

• What are the solutions?• How can global initiatives like Earth day

contribute to this positive change?
