Overview of climate change
Climate change is caused by both natural processes and human activities that increase greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The greenhouse effect traps heat from the sun like a greenhouse, keeping the planet warm enough to sustain life. However, human activities like burning fossil fuels have increased greenhouse gases to levels that are forcing global temperatures to rise at an unprecedented rate. This is causing dangerous impacts like rising seas, stronger storms, more severe wildfires, and threats to food and water security. To address climate change, societies must work to both reduce emissions and adapt to the changes that can no longer be avoided.
Kyoto protocol
The Kyoto Protocol is an international agreement linked to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. It commits industrialized nations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to combat global warming. Key points of the Kyoto Protocol include binding emissions reduction targets for 37 industrialized nations, flexible mechanisms to lower compliance costs, and excluding developing countries from emissions limits. While most industrialized nations support it, the United States has withdrawn support. Malaysia has no emissions targets but supports efforts under the UNFCCC framework.

Earthquakes: Causes, measuring their Characteristics, and Analyzing their Eff...
Earthquakes are sudden, violent shakings of the ground resulting from volcanic activity or movements within the Earth's crust. They can lead to significant destruction and loss of life, making understanding their causes, effects, and mitigation strategies critical. The primary causes of earthquakes include tectonic plate movements, volcanic activity, and human activities. Tectonic plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere, and their interactions at divergent, convergent, and transform boundaries lead to most earthquakes. Volcanic activity, involving the movement of magma within the Earth, can also trigger earthquakes, particularly in volcanic regions. Human activities, such as mining, the filling of large reservoirs, and hydraulic fracturing (fracking), can induce seismicity as well.
To measure earthquakes, seismographs detect and record ground motion, producing seismograms that help determine an earthquake's location and magnitude. The Richter Scale, though historically significant, is now less commonly used, with the Moment Magnitude Scale (Mw) being the standard for measuring the total energy released by an earthquake. The Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) Scale describes the effects of an earthquake in terms of human perception and structural damage. Earthquakes cause primary effects like ground shaking and surface rupture, which can lead to the collapse of buildings and infrastructure. The shaking can cause landslides, tsunamis, large sea waves from underwater earthquakes, and liquefaction, where saturated soil temporarily loses strength and behaves like a liquid.
Mitigating earthquake hazards involves implementing stringent building codes to ensure structures can withstand seismic forces, developing early warning systems to provide advance notice of shaking, educating the public about earthquake preparedness, and enforcing zoning laws that restrict construction in high-risk areas. Historical earthquakes, such as the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, the 2010 Haiti earthquake, and the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, highlight the devastating potential of these natural events and the importance of preparedness and resilience.
Predicting earthquakes with precise accuracy remains beyond current technological capabilities, though probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA) estimates the likelihood of different levels of ground shaking over specified periods. The seismic gap theory identifies segments of faults that have not experienced recent earthquakes and may be due for significant events. Technology and research play crucial roles in advancing our understanding and preparedness for earthquakes. Seismic networks, GPS, and InSAR technologies measure ground deformation, while supercomputing and simulations provide models for earthquake scenarios.
Environmental Economics and Environmental Management Systems
Environmental economics is a sub-field of economics that focuses on the efficient allocation of environmental resources, addressing issues such as pollution, resource depletion, and the sustainable management of natural resources. Central to this field is the concept of market failure, where markets fail to allocate resources efficiently, often resulting in negative environmental impacts. A key example of market failure is externalities—costs or benefits of a market activity borne by third parties. Pollution is a classic negative externality where the polluter does not bear the full cost of the damage. Public goods, such as clean air and water, are also a focus, given their non-excludable and non-rivalrous nature, which complicates their management through traditional market mechanisms.
Valuing environmental goods and services that are not traded in markets requires specialized non-market valuation methods. These include contingent valuation, which uses surveys to determine how much people are willing to pay for specific environmental benefits, hedonic pricing, which examines how environmental factors affect market prices like property values near green spaces, and the travel cost method, which estimates the economic value based on expenditures to visit sites like national parks.
Environmental policy employs various instruments to address environmental issues. Command-and-control regulations set specific limits on pollution levels, while market-based instruments such as Pigovian taxes and tradable permits (cap-and-trade) provide economic incentives for reducing pollution. Cost-benefit analysis is a crucial tool in environmental policy, systematically evaluating the economic pros and cons of different policy options by identifying, quantifying, and monetizing the associated costs and benefits.
Sustainable development is a core principle in environmental economics, aiming to meet present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs. Indicators of sustainability include the Environmental Sustainability Index (ESI) and the Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI). International environmental issues, such as climate change and biodiversity loss, require global cooperation and agreements. The Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement are key international efforts to mitigate climate change, while conservation strategies for biodiversity loss focus on protected areas and biodiversity hotspots.
Natural resource economics addresses both renewable and non-renewable resources. For renewable resources, such as forests and fish stocks, the concept of sustainable yield is crucial, referring to the rate at which a resource can be used without impairing its ability to regenerate. Managing these resources sustainably ensures their availability for future generations and maintains ecological balance.

Investing in Youth
Given how quickly the brain develops during early life and adolescence, the building of human and social capital must begin at a young age. Additionally, early development of health, cognitive, and non-cognitive talents results in increased return on investment for subsequent investments. Investments in programs geared toward children and youth therefore assist socioeconomic growth by laying a solid foundation. The total annual harm to society in many nations is in the range of a few percentage points of GDP. Rough calculations reveal that society suffers losses from avoidable dangerous behaviors that total billions of dollars. For instance, a variety of unfavorable juvenile behaviors in Latin America and the Caribbean lower economic growth by up to 2% annually. These figures do not account for intangible costs like psychological suffering, deteriorating health, decreased civic engagement, or generational repercussions.
The New Face of LEADERSHIP
A person who upholds high standards of integrity, accepts accountability for their deeds, and bases decisions on principle rather than immediate gain is said to be exhibiting authentic leadership.
Even if they are aware of their goals, effective leaders never prefer to go alone. When team members clearly articulate the ultimate vision, they can frequently persuade the leader to move the organization in the direction they want. Because they are unsure of how to integrate their decision with where they are taking the organization, many executives reject reasonable suggestions.
Youth and Climate Change: Areas for Youth Development
Future uncertainty has grown as a result of climate change. One thing has become certain as its effects worsen over time: We will bequeath the Earth to the children and young people of today and to future generations.
The largest generation of youth in history, there are 1.8 billion young people in the globe between the ages of 10 and 24. Young people are becoming more conscious of the risks and difficulties posed by the climate crisis as well as the chance for sustainable development provided by a solution to the problem.
The unprecedented global mobilization of young people demonstrates the enormous power they have to hold policymakers responsible.
Oceans: Introduction to World Oceans
Although there is only one ocean on the planet as a whole, it is geographically divided into a number of named regions. The ocean encompasses 71 percent of the planet. For a variety of historical, cultural, geographical, and scientific reasons, these areas' borders have changed over time. The Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, and Arctic seas are the four that have been given names historically. The Southern (Antarctic) Ocean is now regarded as the fifth ocean by the majority of nations, including the United States. The most well-known are the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian oceans. The 'newest' designated ocean is the Southern Ocean. The distribution of oceanic surface area in 5° latitude steps demonstrates how the division of land and water on the surface of the Earth differs noticeably between the Northern and Southern hemispheres. While the Northern Hemisphere is the hemisphere of the land, the Southern Hemisphere is sometimes referred to as the hemisphere of the ocean. In the temperate latitudes, this is particularly true.
Perspectives of Desalination
Desalination is the procedure used to eliminate the dissolved mineral salts from water. Currently, one of the most popular methods for obtaining pure water for use in agriculture or human consumption when applied to seawater. The issue is that it takes a lot of electricity to desalinate water. When salt is dissolved in water, it forms strong chemical bonds that are challenging to separate. Desalinating water can be quite pricey because both the energy and the technology required are pricy.
Climate Change: Simply Explained and Explored

Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Climate Action
- 1. Climate Action Ms. Leneka Rhoden, MPhil Candidate The University of West Indies, Mona
- 2. Case Study: Palau- Actions to Save an Island (Climate Change)
- 4. Palau was the first country to ban? a) Plastics b) Sunscreen c) Sugar Drinks d) Deforestation
- 5. Climate Action: It contains a transparency framework to build trust and confidence. It serves as an important tool in mobilizing finance, technological support and capacity building for developing countries. It will also help to scale up global efforts to address and minimize loss and damage from climate change.
- 6. LEVELS OF CLIMATE ACTION Individual Collective Global
- 7. Tropical Forest Protection and Restoration
- 8. OVERVIEW: There are many reasons to protect and restore forests, not least of all because they sequester carbon. Project Drawdown estimates that protecting currently degraded land and allowing natural growth of tropical forests to occur on 161-231 million hectares would sequester 54.5 to 85.1 gigatons of carbon dioxide by 2050.
- 9. Individual: • Choose Rainforest Alliance Certified products, for those essentials you can’t buy locally, such as coffee, bananas, tea, and chocolate. • Products bearing green frog seal are sourced from farms that use responsible methods to maximize yield on existing cropland.
- 10. Collective: • You can amplify your individual impact by supporting our work to train farming and forest communities in sustainable land management, agroforestry, and reforestation.
- 11. Global: • Support Indigenous and local land rights around the world. Not only is this the right thing to do, it is better for climate: Numerous studies show that Indigenous people are the most effective forest guardians, and we need their leadership now more than ever.
- 13. Successful Climate Campaigns and Lessons:
- 14. Connect4Climate • Very rarely do organisations hand over creative control to students from around the world, but Connect4Climate did just that with its iChange competition. In a blog for the network, programme manager Lucia Grenna wrote: “When made aware, students are able to articulate and amplify climate change messages...we set out to harness their peer power and facilitate students' ability to promote action, offer solutions, and inspire real change.”
- 15. Greenpeace and TckTckTck • Reforming policy is crucial to stopping climate change, so Greenpeace and TckTckTck teamed up in 2009, they had their eyes firmly set on leaders attending the COP 15 conference in Copenhagen. The billboard campaign featured the likes of Barack Obama and Angela Merkel as imagined in 2020. TckTckTck's executive director Kelly Rigg told us: “I thought these ads were very powerful because they held individual leaders personally responsible for their actions. They offered an opportunity for leaders to choose a more positive future by acting in the present.”
- 16. Your Plastic Diet • The WWF launched a campaign that uses plastic household objects to highlight the amount of plastic people are ingesting. • The campaign, created by Grey, was based on research by the WWF that found people were consuming about 2,000 small pieces of plastic every week – the equivalent to five grams a week, 21 grams a month. According to the WWF, five grams of plastic is the equivalent weight of a credit card. • A website, www.yourplasticdiet.com, was also been set up to allow people to take a test based on their individual diet and use the study findings to determine their likely personal weekly plastic intake.
