- 2. Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. These shifts may be natural, but since the 1800s, human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels (like coal, oil and gas), which produces heat-trapping gases. In long term period, there will be severe and permanent risk if there’s no actions to stop it. What is Climate Change? 01
- 4. CLIMATE CHANGE Cause Impact Approaches Micro Macro Climate Change Deforestation Limit’s nature ability to absorb CO2 and to keep emissions out of the atmosphere For interior or exterior purposes, buy only sustainable wood products that are certified. Recycle paper and cardboard Powering Buildings Residential buildings draw on coal,oil and natural gas so they emit greenhouse gas emission. Investing in renewable energy (solar power) to change the usage of electricity. Turn off air conditioner when the space isn’t occupied. Burning fossils and fuels Produces CO2 causing the greenhouse effect. The effect makes the earth warmer thus the global warming Switch your energy supplier and make your home energy efficient, Use public transport to lesser the amount of CO2 and monoxide emition
- 5. CARBON FOOTPRINT WATER FOOTPRINT the amount of greenhouse gas (especially CO2) released to the atmosphere by a particular organization or community. the amountof fresh water being used in the production or supply of goods and services. The proces that moves carbon between plants,animals,micro- organism,minerals and the atmosphere. CARBON CYCLES 01 02 03 ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS
- 6. CARBON FOOTPRINT The major contributors to carbon footprints are : 01 FOOD CONSUMPTION HOUSEHOLD ENERGY
- 7. WATER FOOTPRINT The THREE types to water footprints are : 02
- 9. ENVIROMENTAL REQUIREMENTS Cause impact Approaches Micro Macro CARBON FOOTPRINTS Food Production Producing food requires energy to run farm equipment (with fossil fuel) cattle produce methane(a powerful greenhouse gas) Switch to Green energy in the building. Reduce food waste or consumption WATER FOOTPRINTS Irrigated Agriculture Extracting groundwater for crop irrigation can disrupt natural cycle by increasing evapotranspiration.Water used for irrigation mostly evaporates instead of running off the land. Use rainwater harvesting system to reduce the use of water. Only run full loads of laundry and dishes CARBON CYCLES Using limestones to make concrete Excess carbon in the atmosphere warms the planet and excess carbon in the ocean makes the water more acidic,putting marine life in danger. increase fuel efficiency in transportation and logistics Reduce,reuse, recycle
- 10. Environmental Requirement means any Environmental Law, agreement or restriction, as the same now exists or may be changed or amended or come into effect in the future, which pertains to any Hazardous Material or the environment including ground or air or water or noise pollution or contamination, and underground or aboveground tanks. ENVIROMENTAL REQUIREMENTS
- 11. Dishonest use of resources to generate electricity 22. (1) Any person who in any manner dishonestly generates electricity from a renewable energy installation by using resources other than the renewable resource specified in the feed-in approval applicable to that renewable energy installation in order to receive the payment or higher payment of feed-in tariffs from the distribution licensee commits an offence and shall, on conviction, be liable to a fine not exceeding one million ringgit or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding five years or to both.

- 12. ENVIROMENTAL REQUIREMENTS Cause impact Approaches Micro Macro Akta Tenaga Boleh Baharu 2011 (Akta 725) Pollution level present in the country and the type of government prevalent are two of the main factors driving renewable energy consumption across countries. Countries where pollution is a big problem and governments are accountable to their citizens are the ones with higher rate of renewable energy consumption. Integrates high uses of renewable energy in power systems use solar panels at home to reduce the use of electricity.
- 13. the variety of plant and animal life in the world or in a particular habitat, a high level of which is usually considered to be important and desirable. BIODIVERSITY
- 15. BIODIVERSITY PRESERVATION Cause Impact Approaches Micro Macro BIODIVERSITY PRESERVATION Biodiversity loss is caused by : habitat loss, invasive species, overexploitation (extreme hunting and fishing pressure), pollution, climate change associated with global warming. Biodiversity loss can have significant direct human health impacts if ecosystem services are no longer adequate to meet social needs. Eradicate and control introduced weeds on your property. Leave critical wildlife habitat undisturbed, especially nesting and denning sites.
- 16. Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into the natural environment that cause adverse change. Pollution can take the form of any substance or energy. Pollutants, the components of pollution, can be either foreign substances/energies or naturally occurring contaminants WHAT IS POLLUTION?
- 18. POLLUTION CONTROL Cause impact Approaches Micro Macro POLLUTION CONTROL Wildfires fire can be deadly, destroying homes, wildlife habitat& timber, and polluting the air with emissions harmful to human health. Prepare a trash can inside the building instead of burning the garbage outside Use caution when using flammable liquids Industrial Emission Industrial process emits huge amounts of organic compounds carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and chemicals into the air Proper treatment for industrial waste. Stricter laws and Enforcement Transportation Cars, trucks and buses produce air pollution throughout their life cycle, including pollution emitted during vehicle operation and fuel production If possible, change your car to an electric car(doesnt have gas emisssion) Use public transport to lesser the amount of CO2 and CO emition
- 19. Natural resources occur naturally within environments that exist relatively undisturbed by humanity,in a natural form. A natural resource is often characterized by amounts of biodiversity and geo-diversity existent in various ecosystems. WHAT IS NATURAL RESOURCES?
- 20. Types of Natural Resources
- 21. NATURAL RESOURCES SUSTAINABILITY Cause impact Approaches Micro Macro Natural Resources Sustainability Resource depletion happens when the consumption of renewable or non-renewable resources becomes scarce, as they are consumed at a faster rate than they can be replenished. In short, raw material extraction and processing always impact on the environment, resulting as they do in soil degradation, water shortages, biodiversity loss, damage to ecosystem functions and global warming exacerbation. Manufactures can, for instance, be trained on lean manufacturing (recycling, re- use, and reducing wastage) while consumers are sensitized on how to adopt re-use, reducing wastage, and recycling techniques. Awareness Campaign- People must be educated on how their daily practices put a strain on scarce natural resources, as well as their individual contributions to resource depletion.
- 22. World Resources Institute (WRI) and World Business Council on Sustainable Development (WBCSD) has introduce the Green House Gas Protocol to help organisation to measure their carbon footprint. WHAT IS CARBON MANAGEMENT?
- 24. CARBON MANAGEMENT Cause impact Approaches Micro Macro Carbon Management Carbon dioxide (CO2): Fossil fuel use is the primary source of CO2. CO2 can also be emitted from direct human-induced impacts on forestry and other land use, such as through deforestation, land clearing for agriculture, and degradation of soils. Carbon management technologies aim to manage anthropogenic releases of greenhouse gases, such as those associated with the combustion of fossil fuel use, in an effort to mitigate the potential impacts of these emissions on climate systems. Switch to Green energy in the building. Reduce food waste or consumption
