What the unconvinced people are saying…
1. “Theory remains entirely unproved.”
2. “One-in-three chance … that experts are wrong.”
3. “Models are incapable of handling … water vapor.”
4. “Troposphere should be warming faster than the surface.”
5. “If the weather folk can’t figure out what’s happening for the
rest of the week, how can they tell us what the climate will be
for the next 50 years?”
6. “Guess what? Antarctica’s getting colder, not warmer.”
7. “Global warming is still just a theory.”

What’s the idea?
1. Responding to Climate Change
•Mitigation and Adaptation - A two-pronged approach
Mitigation - Ways to reduce GHGs
•Mitigation - Policy options to promote reduction
•Adaptation - Facing a new reality
•The Economy and Economics - Part of the problem and
solution
•International Responses - Policies at the global level
2. Education and Climate Change
•Education for Sustainable Development - Taking climate
change education beyond science
•Education for Mitigation - Changing behavior for the common
good
•Education for Adaptation - Learning to deal with local changes
•Education for Disaster Risk Reduction - Preparing for the worst

14.
Responding to Climate Change
• Mitigation – and lessen the
harm of climate change impact
• Adaptation – are two different
but complementary approaches
towards dealing with climate
change.

15.
Mitigation - Ways to reduce GHGs
• Use of low- or no-carbon
energy sources,
• Increased energy saving
and efficiency of
energy use,
• Carbon capture and
storage and extension of
carbon sinks,
• Low carbon lifestyles and
consumption choices.

16.
Mitigation - Policy options to promote
reduction
• Integrated policies include climate change as a factor in broader
policy development to facilitate implementation of mitigation
mechanisms.
• Regulatory standards provide certainty and consistency on
emissions levels, and send a clear signal that discourages a
‘business as usual’ approach.
• Reducing Emission for Deforestation and Degradation (REDD+)
refers to policy approaches and positive incentives on issues
relating to reducing GHG emissions from deforestation and forest
degradation
• Voluntary agreements between industry and government are a
means to engage industry partners to take action on
environmental and other issues
• Voluntary actions (corporations, governments, non-profits and civil
groups) can act to stimulate action and innovation.
