Climate Change and Development Extreme Weather Events • Vice-president of UN’s IPCC – the ‘dramatic’ weather patterns are consistent with changes in the climate caused by mankind • "Extreme events are one of the ways in which climatic changes become dramatically visible.“ • Lancet Medical Journal – “Climate Change is the biggest global health threat of the 21st century.” Pakistan and Climate Change Affected By A Changing World “Climate change is the biggest global health threat of the 21st century” (UCL Lancet Commission on Managing the Health Effects of Climate Change,15 May 2009) Pakistan’s Health Risks – up to: • 1.5 million cases of diarrheal diseases • 140,000 of cholera • 150,000 cases of measles • 350,000 cases of acute respiratory infections • 100,000 cases of malaria Over the next 3 months. Ethics of Climate Change 1. We know that the creation gases such as CO2, cause climate change. 2. We know climate change puts the livelihoods and lives of the poorest and most vulnerable people in the world at risk. 3. We knowingly and unnecessarily contribute to the creation of gases that cause climate change. We can take action by contributing less. 4. We knowingly and unnecessarily put the livelihoods and lives of the poorest and most vulnerable people in the world at risk. 5. We should take action by stopping unnecessarily contribute to the creation of gases that causes climate change in order to stop causing harm to the poorest and most vulnerable people in the world.
