The article also acknowledges the challenges faced by vulnerable communities, such as Tuvalu, which is at risk of being submerged by 2050. Despite these challenges, the communities remain resilient and hopeful.

K- what do know about Climate Change?

W- What do 'wonder' about Climate Change?

L (LEARN)- What are you learning about Climate Change and relevant issues?

You'll be writing your continuous learning on climate change and relevant topics during on-going classes.

Remember, the fate of Tuvalu and countless other vulnerable communities rests on our collective action. Let the UNFCCC Gallery Walk be a catalyst for change, a spark that ignites a global movement towards a healthier planet.

ii. Set your action and goal as a part of adaptation and mitigation

Human activities have been the main driver of climate change, Primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas.

Climate impacts are already harming heath,

Through air pollution, diseased hunger and poor nutrition in places where people cannot grow or find sufficient food.

Atmosphere layers of earth?

From lowest to highest, the major layers are the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere and exosphere

Ozone layer?

The ozone layer is vital part of earth's atmosphere, acting like an invisible shield protecting us from harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun.

Greenhouse effects?

The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon that keeps our planet habitable bye trapping some of the Sun's heat.

Sun's energy: The sun shines on Earth, providing sunlight and warming the surface

Heat radiation: Earth absorbs some f this heat, but also radiates some back out into space

About UN?

The United Nations (UN) is an intergovernmental organization established in 1945 committed to maintaining international peace and security, developing friendly relations among nations , solving global problems.

About UNFCC?

The UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is an international treaty among countries that aims to combat "dangerous human interference with the climate system," in part by stabilizing greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere

About SDG?

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, are a set of 17 ambitious goals adopted by all United Nations member states in 2015. They represent a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030.

The process of becoming better suited to an environment: It refers to the way in which organisms evolve features that help them survive and reproduce in their specific environment. These features can be physical, such as the thick fur of polar bear.

What is climate mitigation?

Climate mitigation refers to the actions we take to limit the extent of climate change.

1. Reducing emissions of greenhouse gases:

   cutting down on our reliance on fossil fuels: This means transitioning to renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and geothermal.

2. Enhancing the capacity of the natural systems to store carbon:

   protecting and restoring forests: Forests act as carbon sinks, absorbing and storing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere

What is the bad effect of climate change?

Rising sea levels: Melting glaciers and ice sheets are causing sea levels to rise.

More extreme weather events: Climate change is making extreme weather events like heat waves, droughts, floods and wildfires more frequent and intense.

1. My chosen Action Hero is- Water Wizard and Recycle Ranger.

Q. Set your Goal or Action as part of Adaptation and Mitigation?

I chose this Water Wizard Actions to reduce Water usages by- 1. Taking short shower. 2. Turning off the Water when washing hand or brushing teeth.

And I chose this Recycle Ranger to clean our Campus by stopping the usage of PLASTIC in our Campus.

One thing we can do is we should change the plastic cups into glass cup by proposing our School.

1. Q: Set your action and goal as a part of adaptation and mitigation.

   
   

2. Ans: I will save water by:

   1. Taking Shorter Showers.

   2. Turning off the water when brushing teeth.

   For Recycling Me and My Classmates have a plan:

   1. We will make a plan to collect all plastics around the school. More specifically the Plastic cups in the Dining area. We will hopefully be able to change it into glass cups. We will take the plastic cups to a nearby Recycling center. From this center we might get some cash so we will give this to MYP S.A. The cups will be replaced by glass cups that we will find ourselves. We will make a presentation and then:

   2. We will present it to HOS Maam and Board of the school.

   3. If they accept we will collect all cups and go to the Recycling center. We will also replace the plastic cups with glass cups if the school board allows.

Ans: Carbon markets are created when market-based climate change mitigation instruments take effect and carbon certificates are traded. Carbon Marketing and Trading, also known as Carbon Emissions Trading, is a system where carbon credits are brought and sold.

Types of Carbon Marketing-

There are two basic types of Carbon Markets- 1. Compliance and Voluntary.

1. Compliance markets are established by the Government or multi Government bodies that controls the supply the regular trading.

2. Voluntary markets are those in which Carbon credits may be traded Voluntarily.

Atmosphere layers- The Earth's atmosphere is a thin layer of gases surrounding the planet. It is essential for life as we know it, protecting us from the harmful radiation of the sun and keeping us warm.

Ozone layer- The ozone layer, Earth's protective shield, sits in the stratosphere (15-35 km high). It blocks most harmful UV radiation from the sun, safeguarding life.

Greenhouse effects- Our atmosphere acts like a greenhouse: sunlight gets in, warming Earth, but some heat gets trapped by gases like CO2. This natural effect keeps us warm, but too much CO2 disrupts the balance, leading to global warming.

UN- The United Nations is an international organization founded in 1945 to increase political and economic cooperation among its member countries.

UNFCCC - United States Framework Convention on Climate Change is to increase political and economic cooperation among its member countries.

SDG- The Sustainable Developments are 17 interconnected goals adopted by the United Nations in 2015. They represent a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030.

A carbon market is a trading system where carbon credits are bought and sold. Carbon Credits is a permit which allows a country or a organization to produce a certain amount of carbon emissions.

Ans: Climate Change is something that harms our home, It refers to long term shifts in temperature in weather patterns and We are the one who damage the Earth by- Burning Fossil fuels, coal, gas and E.T.C.

The Climate Change are already start harming health, By Diseased, air pollution and not getting enough food to eat.

Atmosphere layers- The Earth's atmosphere is a thine glass which is surrounding by the other Planets in our Milky Way, This thine layer protect us from the harmful radiation from the sun and keeping us safe and warm.

I chose Recycle Ranger where I am going to recycle all the used plastics in my campus by sending it to a near by recycling factory.

ii. Ans: Recycling helps achieve primary sustainability goals, including better waste management and climate change mitigation. Recycling helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions by reducing energy consumption. We know, little from each of us is a lot from all of us.

Impacts: Rising temperatures lead to sea level rise, extreme weather, ocean acidification, and biodiversity loss.

Atmosphere: Earth's atmosphere has layers, each playing a role in climate. The ozone layer protects us from harmful UV radiation.

Greenhouse Effect: Some gases trap heat like a blanket, warming the planet. Human activities are amplifying this effect.

Hydrocarbons: Burning these fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases, contributing to climate change.

Ans:

i) Turn of lights and electronics when not in use.

ii) Take shorter showers: Every minute saved translates to less energy used for heating water

What is the effect of Climate Change?

Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns which is mainly caused my burning fossil fuels, pollutions, too much wastage etc. The rise in temperature or global warming (due to more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere) causes rise in sea levels because the ice and glaciers in different part of the earth starts melting. These can cause habitat loss, health risk, loss in infrastructure, poverty and other problems.
