Climate Change Week 3

Basics of Climate Change General Assembly: UNEP UNFCC Documents & Agreements: Kyoto Protocol (1997) Doha Climate Gateway (2012) It is estimated that global temperatures increase 1.3℃ annually. Adverse effects include: rising sea levels, flooding, overheating, poor infrastructure, coal mining accidents..etc What to know: Basics of Climate Change

Who is responsible?

GHG Emission Rankings (GHG = greenhouse gases) Largest emitters are China and the US Strongly correlated with population size

What incentive is there to follow non-binding agreements? * key Model UN words: feasible, national sovereignty

How can we help countries affected by climate change?

Can countries simultaneously maintain development and reduce emissions?

Areas of Focus: Agriculture Manufacturing (using more eco-friendly manufacturing methods) Forests (how to prevent excessive deforestation) Energy (alternative sources) Tourism Buildings Waste (how to manage and clear waste in a safe way)
