5 Aim To understand the challenge of global hazards for the future. To understand how climate change can affect poverty and how it can become a vicious circle. To understand what the poverty bomb is? How should we tackle the global challenges of increasing risk and vulnerability in a hazardous world?

6 Date: 17-Sep-15 AS Global Challenges Unit 1 Instructions Print out photos Write around facts and opinions What is the link? What is the link of these to climate change?

8 Detonators? How countries cope with climate change depends on wealth. What triggers can cause poverty (not just climate change).

9 Date: 17-Sep-15 AS Global Challenges Unit 1 Lack of work Bad Housing Population Growth Little healthcare Famine Illiteracy Low income Lack of water Debt Climate Change Hazard Event What words would you put around the poverty bomb? Environmental degradation

10 Date: 17-Sep-15 AS Global Challenges Unit 1 Vicious cycle of climate change Higher temperatures More hazardous world. Great impact on water and food supplies, especially for world’s most vulnerable people Increased evaporation More water vapour. More ice sheet and glacier melt. Accelerating changes because of positive feedbacks Worsening greenhouse effect Major issue of rising sea levels. Global warming impacts More uncertainty More extreme weather with more uncertainty. Rising temperatures and changing precipitation patterns Growing incidence of drought and flood events Growing incidence of severe storms More impacts More food insecurity Conflicts over water crises More vulnerable people plunged into poverty Environmental refugees

30 Water shortages Global water usage 2025

31 Date: 17-Sep-15 AS Global Challenges Unit 1Reading P 77 Philip Allan ‘Water shortages’ Physical water scarcity – lack of actual supplies of water to meet demand Economic water scarcity – poverty and lack of good governance mean that water is not available to people who cannot afford it e.g. the urban poor. P78-79 Philip Allan ‘Food insecurity’ Food availability deficit – lack of available food for people to live a healthy, active life due to physical factors, such as climate. Food entitlement deficit – when there is adequate food available, but the community or individual is too poor to access it.
