Climate Change
• The Paris climate conference (Dec 2015) pledged to keep warming “well below 2 degrees Celsius” & to “pursue efforts” to limit it to 1.5 C.

Climate Change• The mercury doesn’t lie: We’ve hit a
troubling climate change milestone• Across the northern hemisphere, the
temperature, if only for a few hours, apparently crossed a line: it was more than two degrees Celsius above “normal” for the first time in recorded history and likely for the first time in the course of human civilization.

• Feeding Climate Change: Oxfam says companies must make drastic emissions cuts.
•Or else, Paris Agreement’s goals of “net-zero” emissions by the middle of the century & limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius will not be met.

Crisis• U.N. on Asia Pacific (2016): “Increasing
unsustainable consumption patterns have led to worsening air pollution, water scarcity and waste generation, threatening human and environmental health. Increased demand for fossil fuels and natural resources – extensive agriculture, palm oil and rubber plantations, aquaculture and the illegal trade in wildlife – are causing environmental degradation and biodiversity loss.”05/03/2023 Dr. Rey Ty 39

Law vs. Impediments• Several laws were passed
1. Agreement on the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources in 1985
2. Agreement on Transboundary Haze Pollution in 2002• But there are constraints
1. Non-interference in domestic affairs2. Informality of negotiations3. Non-binding agreements (non-treaties)

Destruction of Nature
Causes• Urban excess; TNCs & Green revolution,
Chemical pesticides & fertilizers; Over fishing; Over use of groundwater; Over exploitation of natural resources; Municipal and industrial waste; Obsolescence Model; Supply-Side Economics
Effects• Lose biodiversity; Pollution; Soil erosion &
degradation; Deforestation; Hazardous Waste; Floods, landslides; Decreased access to clean water; Water-borne diseases; Climate Change

Effects• Environmental Racism• The rich have bottled water & air

–Economic and political domination–Environmental damage
AsiaMajor Problems1. Endangered species (elephants)2. Air pollution (worst: palm oil
companies)3. Coral reef destruction4. Deforestation5. Water (Himalayas)6. Increased urbanization
Solutions1. Conservation & nature preserves2. Zero-burn policies3. Reduce carbon footprint; 4. Use recycled wood; buy from companies
committed to zero deforestation5. Prevent deforestation6. Foster sustainable development with
low poverty level to produce less environmental impact
