    IMPACTS OF
    CLIMATE CHANGE
    The purpose of this module is to reinforce the urgency to act
    by identifying the environmental and social consequences of
    global warming.

    ATHENAS is a multi-national Initiative funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture


    IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE
    Rajendra K. Pachauri, while Chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on
    Climate Change (IPCC), summarized key messages from the Fifth Assessment
    Report at the United Nations Climate Summit in 2014. The full message is
    available at this URL:

    ONE: HUMAN INFLUENCE
    o Atmosphere and oceans have warmed

    o Snow and ice have diminished

    o Sea level has risen


    TWO: WE MUST ACT QUICKLY
    o Atmosphere and oceans have warmed o Collapse of ice sheets, flooding our coastal
    cities
    o Snow and ice have diminished
    o Steady rise in our death toll, especially
    among the world’s poorest
    o Sea level has risen

    o Extreme droughts and floods


    THREE: THE FUTURE
    o Renewable energy is a real option

    o Tremendous opportunity to improve


    energy efficiency

    o Further reduce emissions by stopping


    deforestation
    NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES OF
    CLIMATE CHANGE
    o Oxygen-poor ocean zones are growing o Changes in migration patterns of birds and
    animals
    o Rainforests are releasing CO2 (a
    greenhouse gas) as regions become drier o Disruption to food chains

    o Droughts are causing extensive vegetation o Species loss; for example coral reefs are
    die-off and greater incidents of forest adversely affected by rising ocean
    fires, which release CO2 into temperatures and acidification
    the atmosphere
