into taking measures into preventing climate degradation caused by deforestation. REDD was suggested as climate change mitigation strategy which raised awareness by providing financial benefits to countries in exchange of reduction in deforestation rates. These account for 12-20% of global carbon emissions in the atmosphere (van der Werf et al. 2009; IPCC 2007). However, such efforts were limited to countries with high deforestation rates (Daniel, Thomas and Michael, 2013) .Likewise, schemes like LIP
MITIGATION OF THE CHALLENGES OF FORESTRY EDUCATION Students, parents, guardians, individuals and agencies invest in educationon the understanding that it brings enlightenment and helps theindividuals to develop profitable skills needed for development. On thisnote, the Nigerian national policy on education had aimed to inculcatenational consciousness and the right type of values and attitudes for thesurvival of the individual and the Nigerian society as a whole; to train themind to understand its
the 1980s, there has been an overwhelming increase in industrial processes and transportation which uses fossil fuels.” (Shrivastava, 2007) Mitigation of Global Warming Various strategies have been put in place to mitigate global warming. “Some used strategies are clean coal technology and carbon sequestration. Clean coal technology entails the mitigation of environmental impacts related to the generation of coal energy and seeks to reduce gaseous emissions from the thermal decomposition of coal
amounts of carbon dioxide. Higher concentrations of carbon dioxide means that more heat radiation is absorbed and causes the atmosphere to heat up. Another factor that is a big contributor to global warming is deforestation. Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the environment, so due to deforestation there are fewer trees so less carbon dioxide is absorbed from the atmosphere and an increased amount of CO2 is left to trap heat radiation. However, scientists agree that natural fluctuations in the climate
4. Mitigation policies to climate change COP 21: Agreement but limitations. No engagement on Carbon price, subsidies to fossil fuels won’t stop, agricultural sector is missing in the agreement. Greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation and land use change are the region’s main cause of global climate change. With 203 million hectares of forests, Southeast Asian countries represent 5.2% of the world forest superficy. Expansion of large-scale crops is a substantial source of deforestation in the
population, we have been enacting in unnatural agricultural practices that have been slowly but indefinitely changing the climate globally. However, according to the text Essential Environment, “human activities, notably fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, are largely responsible”(Withgott 2012). Over the years, the talks of ‘global warming’ have intensified as well as caught international attention. In 2009, President Mohamed Nasheed of the Maldives followed by his entire cabinet “dived into the
Global Warming Forewords Global warming is the result of a large concentration of CO2 and greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere. Human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and emissions are held responsible for this situation developing. The climate change is the result, and a factor of global warming. There are several factors impacting global warming, and these include ozone layer depletion, carbon cycle, pollution, human actions, and orbit of the earth. There is a debate
greenhouse gasses is a huge concern which leads to the primary cause of speeding up climate change. We know this as global warming. And at this point, two paths seemed to appear at our footsteps to respond to this crisis: mitigation or adaptation. Learning the importance of mitigation over adaptation is essential for our generation to combat the climate change crisis. The issue we face today involves carbon dioxide emissions. Everyday, carbon dioxide emissions are being evaporated into the air slowly
and Renewable Energy Sector is a proposed plan that would aid the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy in increasing the contribution of renewable resources. The Ministry of Environment and Forests has suggested that a Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation Plus (REDD+) program could provide an incentive to capture about one billion tons of additional forest carbon. Similar to current policies these future policies focus on adding new technology and resources, instead of directly
being enough fresh air, the environment being destroyed through constant floods and drought in some instances, it will be difficult if not impossible to cope in this world. Human activities such as greenhouse gas mitigation, emission of chemicals into air by industries, and deforestation are the major causes of global climate change. One of the biggest issues facing us right now is global warming. Global warming is when the earth’s average temperature increases as a result of greenhouse gases (carbon
