SAARC Training Program on Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Risk Reduction in South Asia Global Climate Change Scenario Dr. A.K.M. Saiful Islam Associate Professor, IWFM Coordinator , Climate Change Study Cell Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology Outline Introduction to Climatic System Green House Effect and Global Warming Status of Global Climate Change Climate Change Predictions Climate Change Scenarios Climate Change Scenarios for Bangladesh Overview of the Impact of Climate Change Copy right @ Dr. A.K.M. Saiful Islam, IWFM, BUET Climate Systems • The complicated system consisting of various components, including the dynamics and composition of the atmosphere, the ocean, the ice and snow cover, the land surface and its features, the many mutual interactions between them, and the large variety of physical, chemical and biological processes taking place in and among these components. • Climate refers to the state of the climate system as a whole, including a statistical description of its variations. Atmosphere – 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and 1% other gases. – Carbon dioxide accounts for just 0.03 - 0.04%. – Water vapor 0 to 2% Copy right @ Dr. A.K.M. Saiful Islam, IWFM, BUET Components of Climate System Copy right @ Dr. A.K.M. Saiful Islam, IWFM, BUET Green house gases CO2 and some other minor gases 1. Absorb some of the thermal radiation leaving the surface of the earth. 2. Emit radiation from much higher and colder levels out to space. These radiatively active gases are known as greenhouse gases. – They act as a partial blanket for the thermal radiation from the surface which enables it to be substantially warmer than it would otherwise be, analogous to the effect of a greenhouse.

Saiful Islam, IWFM, BUET Climate Models to predict climate change Climate models are computer-based simulations that use mathematical formulas to re-create the chemical and physical processes that drive Earth’s climate. To “run” a model, scientists divide the planet into a 3dimensional grid, apply the basic equations, and evaluate the results. Atmospheric models calculate winds, heat transfer, radiation, relative humidity, and surface hydrology within each grid and evaluate interactions with neighboring points. Climate models use quantitative methods to simulate the interactions of the atmosphere, oceans, land surface, and ice. Copy right @ Dr. A.K.M. Saiful Islam, IWFM, BUET Copy right @ Dr. A.K.M.

Copy right @ Dr. A.K.M. Saiful Islam, IWFM, BUET Special Report on Emissions Scenarios (SRES) The Special Report on Emissions Scenarios (SRES) was a report prepared by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) for the Third Assessment Report (TAR) in 2001, on future emission scenarios to be used for driving global circulation models to develop climate change scenarios. It was used to replace the IS92 scenarios used for the IPCC Second Assessment Report of 1995. The SRES Scenarios were also used for the Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) in 2007. Copy right @ Dr. A.K.M. Saiful Islam, IWFM, BUET SERS Emission Scenarios A1 - a future world of very rapid economic growth, global population that peaks in mid-century and declines thereafter, and the rapid introduction of new and more efficient technologies. Three sub groups: fossil intensive (A1FI), non-fossil energy sources (A1T), or a balance across all sources (A1B). A2 - A very heterogeneous world. The underlying theme is that of strengthening regional cultural identities, with an emphasis on family values and local traditions, high population growth, and less concern for rapid economic development. B1 - a convergent world with the same global population, that peaks in mid-century and declines thereafter, as in the A1 storyline. B2 - a world in which the emphasis is on local solutions to economic, social and environmental sustainability. Copy right @ Dr. A.K.M.
