Increase in global climates may increase the length of warm seasons in tropical countries. this means that mosquito populations increase and are able to feed for longer, this is problematic to health as mosquitoes are vectors for many diseases such as malaria and zika.

Carbon offsetting is the process which allows individuals and companies to invest in environmental projects around the world in order to balance out their own carbon footprints.

pollution - increase in respiratory diseases
increase in temp - increase in heat strokes and dehydration
increase in precipitation - increase in floods may mean an increase in drowning in LIC's, waterborne diseases (eg malaria)

Adaption: managing the risks of climate change and using it for better opportunities

mitigation: reduce impacts of climate change by reducing sources of it (CO2, methane etc)

The Ganges delta residents are highly vulnerable to climate change. There are about 2 million people across 100 different islands. Most of these people are impoverished which means they lack the financial means to adapt to the consequences of climate change.

Rising sea levels have lead to the contamination and salinization of their groundwater supply which is their only clean water supply for agricultural irrigation and household use. This causes their living standards and well-being to decline

air pollution will increase
- respiratory and cardiovascular disease
- injuries and premature deaths related to extreme weather events
over all effects
- the change in weather could cause mental health issues (seasonal depression)
- increased temperature could cause heat strokes

Climate change affects food, air, water, physical protection and potential for the spread of diseases, which are all factors affecting our health + survival. For example, long periods of extreme heat can lead to heat stroke and dehydration, air pollution can lead to aggravated cardiovascular illnesses and respiratory illnesses, increased flooding can lead to increased prevalence of vector-bourne diseases such as dengue.

Adaptation refers to long-term strategies which aim to adapt current processes or create new processes which are better suited to a lifestyle that is affected or will be affected by the likely effects of climate change.

Mitigation refers to strategies which aim to mitigate and slow the effects of climate change, examples of this are increasing the amount of CO2 being removed from the atmosphere, or reducing carbon emissions.

Carbon trading is the process of buying and selling permits and credits that allow the permit holder to emit carbon dioxide. It is an effort to slow climate change.

Poverty - people in poverty lack the financial means to adapt to the consequences of climate change. They don't have as easy access to the basic needs and thus, are more vulnerable to health risks.

Gender - A greater majority of those impoverished are female. Plus, there is a lack of female representation in climate planning and government policy making so their needs are not necessarily met. This makes them more vulnerable to risk due to climate change

mousini islands:
- as farming is the most common form of income in this area and floods have destroyed 70% of arable farmland, 85% families have been forced to migrate into urban areas in attempts to sustain themselves.
- as living standards in Dhaka are much higher, there has been an increase in poverty and slums within the city
-water contamination in domestic water supply
salinisation of crops decreases the yield

Geoengineering includes methods which manipulate the Earth's climate in order to reduce the long-term effects of climate change. However, many of these ideas are still theoretical, have not been applied, so the long term benefits/consequences are still unknown. Examples include, space mirrors, using aerosols to increase the reflectivity of clouds, GMO crops and paining roofs white

geoengineering refers to the large-scale schemes for intervention in the earth's oceans, soils and atmosphere with the aim of reducing the effects of climate change, usually temporarily.

example
- spraying seawater thousands of metres into the air to seed the formation of stratocumulus clouds that will deflect sunlight
- installing sun-shields or mirrors in space to reflect the sun
- injecting sun-blocking particulates into space.

Development: less developed countries are more likely to be more severely affected by climate change, due to lack of efficient resource management and infrastructure.

Geographic location: coastal areas are more likely to be affected by rise in sea levels, leading to water and soil salinization, loss of land, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
Geoengineering is when our environment is artificially changed to reduce the impacts of climate change. Some examples include solar reflectors in space using mirrors, white/cool roofs and carbon capture and storage by liquifying greenhouse gases and storing them under the ground

# data[].attributes.body
Geoengineering is the large scale intervention to the earths natural systems to counteract climate change. Some projects designed to tackle the effects of climate change usually are the removal of CO2 from the air.
