INTRODUCTION
CLIMATE CRISIS

AGENDA
FOREST LOSS
DIRTY PLANET
PLASTIC PROBLEM
SPECIES LOSS
EMPTY OCEANS
DEAD SOIL
CONCLUSION
THE EARTH IS FACING MANY SERIOUS
ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGES. CLIMATE CHANGE,
POLLUTION, DEFORESTATION, AND BIODIVERSITY
LOSS ARE THREATENING LIFE ON OUR PLANET. THESE
PROBLEMS AFFECT THE AIR WE BREATHE, THE WATER
WE DRINK, AND THE FUTURE OF HUMANS, ANIMALS,
AND NATURE. IN THIS PRESENTATION, WE WILL
EXPLORE SEVEN MAJOR ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS
Climate change is a long-term shift in temperatures
and weather patterns, mostly due to human activities
like burning fossil fuels.
Effects:
Rising sea levels
Melting glaciers
More frequent heatwaves, storms, and droughts
Coral bleaching and food insecurity
Solutions:
Reduce greenhouse gas emissions
Use renewable energy (solar, wind, hydro)
Support climate-friendly policies and education
The large-scale cutting down of trees and destruction of
natural habitats for farming, logging, or development.
Effects:
Loss of biodiversity
Increased carbon in the atmosphere
Soil erosion and disrupted water cycles
Solutions:
Plant more trees (reforestation)
Protect forests and endangered habitats
Use sustainable wood and paper products
Air Pollution is caused by smoke, chemicals, and vehicle emissions. On the
other hand, water Pollution is caused by industrial waste, oil spills, and
plastic dumping.
Effects:
Respiratory diseases
Dirty or undrinkable water
Harm to aquatic life
Solutions:
Use public transport or bikes
Limit use of harmful chemicals
Enforce stronger pollution laws
Plastic takes hundreds of years to decompose and
often ends up in oceans, harming marine animals.
Facts:
Over 8 million tons of plastic enter the oceans each
year
Animals mistake plastic for food
Biodiversity means the variety of life. We are losing species
faster than ever before due to pollution, hunting, climate
change, and habitat destruction.
Why it matters:
Each species plays a role in its ecosystem. Loss of one
affects many others—including humans.
Solutions:
Protect endangered species and habitats
Avoid products made from endangered animals
Support conservation efforts
Overfishing is when fish are caught faster than they
can reproduce.
Effects:
Collapse of fish populations
Marine ecosystems become unbalanced
Loss of food sources for many communities
Solutions:
Buy sustainably sourced seafood
Support marine protected areas
Enforce fishing limits
Soil degradation happens when soil loses nutrients.
Desertification is when fertile land turns into desert,
mostly due to poor farming practices, deforestation, and
climate change.
Effects:
Lower food production
Forced migration
Hunger and poverty
Solutions:
Practice sustainable farming
Plant trees to stop erosion
Use organic compost and avoid overgrazing
IN CONCLUSION, THE ENVIRONMENT FACES MANY
SERIOUS CHALLENGES, INCLUDING CLIMATE CHANGE,
POLLUTION, DEFORESTATION, AND BIODIVERSITY LOSS.
THESE PROBLEMS ARE CAUSED BY HUMAN ACTIVITY
AND HAVE HARMFUL EFFECTS ON ECOSYSTEMS AND
FUTURE GENERATIONS. UNDERSTANDING THESE ISSUES
IS ESSENTIAL FOR DEVELOPING REALISTIC AND
EFFECTIVE SOLUTIONS.
