• Global biodiversity lost
• Ozone depletion
Global Warming
• Greenhouse gases help to
maintain the earth’s temperature
at a level suitable to support life
• Human activities are increasing
the amount of greenhouse gases
• is the rising average in the atmosphere, which cause
more heat to be trapped
temperature of • Predicted effects of global
Earth's atmosphere warming include:
– Higher sea levels
and oceans – Higher temperatures
– Variable climatic conditions
– These changes are expected
to cause a significant impact
on agriculture and ecosystems
Overcoming Global Warming
• Controlling people
behavior to use fossil
fuel in a judicious
manner
• Controlling deforestation
and performing
reforestation
• Enhancing the use of
sustainable energy
• Governmental Incentive
trough policy
Investment in Renewable Energy in China
Ozone Layer Depletion
• The ozone layer protects the earth
from harmful ultraviolet (UV) light
• The use of chlorofluorocarbons
(CFCs) and other ozone depleting
substances as refrigerants, solvents
and insulation is destroying the
ozone layer
• A ‘hole’ is observed over Antarctica
every autumn
• Depleted ozone levels cause the
following impacts:
– Increased penetration of UV light to
earth
– Increased risks of skin cancer and eye
diseases
– Damage to agricultural crops
– Disruption to marine food chains
Deforestation
• The deforestation of tropical rainforests is a
major global problem-each year millions of
hectares are lost
• Deforestation rates in some countries
continue to increase despite worldwide
pressures
• Rainforests are destroyed for wood products,
and to make way for agricultural activities,
mining and dams
• The impacts of deforestation include:
– Loss of livelihood for local inhabitants
– Variable environmental conditions (susceptibility
to flood, aggravated droughts, soil erosion etc)
– Loss of biodiversity and disturbance to
ecosystems
– Loss of carbon sink
Loss of Biodiversity
• Biodiversity is important for food,
drugs, maintaining ecological
stability, aesthetic and cultural
benefits
• Natural causes and human activity
can threaten biodiversity
• The loss of biodiversity means
ecosystems are destabilized, vital
resources are lost and genetic
variation is reduced
Desertification
• Removing ground cover and degrading fertile land
initiates desertification
• Water washes away nutrients, the land becomes
inhospitable
• The process is accelerated by expanding populations
and the need to overuse fragile areas of land
Environmental Management
• Those the aforesaid environmental issues are seriously
burden the ecosystems and finances world-wide
• Administrations, commercial organizations and individuals are
affected by environmental change and its associated dangers,
long-term effects and liabilities
• Both legislative obligations and voluntary mechanisms can
address the environment and to integrate it into the
mainstream of business activity
• Consequently, environmental management is a crucial part of
all organization's operations
• Three major acceptable things that
are strongly related to particular
environmental issues:
- Related to the demographic
issues
- Related to the economic growth
- Related to the engagement of
inappropriate modern
technologies
• Population growth as it is
checked by ecological
concept of carrying capacity
• Human resources and all of
its attributes
• Unequal distribution of the
world’s human population
• Economic value of given natural resource is placed over the
ecological value
• Profit oriented of economic development.
• Will the world be able to sustain economic growth indefinitely
without running into resource constraints or despoiling the
environment beyond repair?
