NSTP-Activity5. Jackiefetalvero

The document discusses the causes of climate change and its impacts on human settlements. It identifies the major causes of climate change as the burning of fossil fuels for electricity, heat, and transportation which releases greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide. It also notes that deforestation eliminates natural carbon sinks. In terms of impacts, it states that climate change is predicted to increase extreme weather events like floods and hurricanes which can negatively impact human mental health and damage settlements near rivers or coastal areas vulnerable to sea level rise.

1. What are the causes of climate changes?

Generating electricity and heat by burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas
causes a large chunk of global emissions. Most electricity is still produced from fossil fuels;
only about a quarter comes from wind, solar and other renewable sources.

Manufacturing and industry produce emissions , mostly from burning fossil fuels to produce
energy for making things like cement, iron, steel, electronics, plastics, clothes and other
goods. Mining and other industrial processes also release gases.

Cutting down forests to create farms or pastures, or for other reasons, causes emissions,
since trees, when they are cut, release the carbon they have been storing. Since forests
absorb carbon dioxide, destroying them also limits nature’s ability to keep emissions out of
the atmosphere.

Most cars, lorries, ships and planes run on fossil fuels. That makes transportation a major
contributor of greenhouse gases, especially carbon-dioxide emissions. Road vehicles
account for the largest part, but emissions from ships and planes continue to grow.

2. What is the impact of climate change on human settlement in terms of stress on social
services?

With climate change, extreme weather phenomena including hurricanes, floods, droughts,
and heat waves are predicted to occur more frequently or with greater intensity. The stress
and grief these kinds of situations can cause can lead to more severe mental health problems
for many people. Flooding and landslides pose the most significant direct threat to human
settlements from climate change. The causes will be anticipated increases in rainfall volume
and, in coastal regions, sea level rise. Cities near rivers and on the ocean are more vulnerable

3. What are your daily activities and how do they contribute to climate change?

Over-charging electronics, leaving televisions running, using inefficient


appliances and forgetting to turn off lights are all habits that are ingrained in our
daily lives.

Reflection

Write a reflective essay on this, “Climate Resilient Philippines Enjoying Sustainable


Development” (200 words only).

Harmonizing three key factors—economic growth, social inclusion, and


environmental protection—is essential for sustainable development. All of these
factors are important for the welfare of people and societies and are interrelated. By
gradually altering the methods we create and use technologies, sustainable
development constantly motivates us to protect and improve our natural resources.
All nations should provide for their citizens' basic needs, including employment, food,
energy, water, and sanitation. The Philippines, for example, is currently struggling
with a high population rate and a low gross domestic product (GDP). Millions of
Filipinos continue to live in poverty and struggle to export their goods to countries
where inflows of foreign goods outweigh outflows of domestic goods.
