LISTING IDEAS FOR FUTURE VIDEOS IN ASIA:
1-IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE – CONTEXT :
• Glaciers in Asia are melting at a faster rate than ever documented in historical records. Melting glaciers increase the risks of flooding and rock avalanches from destabilized slopes.
• Climate change is projected to decrease freshwater availability in central, south, east and southeast Asia, particularly in large river basins. With population growth and increasing demand from higher standards of living, this decrease could adversely affect more than a billion people by the 2050s.
• Increased flooding from the sea and, in some cases, from rivers, threatens coastal areas, especially heavily populated delta regions in south, east, and southeast Asia.
• By the mid-21st century, crop yields could increase up to 20% in east and southeast Asia. In the same period, yields could decrease up to 30% in central and south Asia.
• Sickness and death due to diarrhoeal disease are projected to increase in east, south, and southeast Asia due to projected changes in the hydrological cycle associated with climate change.
Let’s try to finetune these topics to the level of individual countries and make a list of subjects to be featured. Your ideas are welcome, please get in touch.
2-ACTIONS AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE – ADAPTATION AND MITIGATION:
Climate change adaptation is a response, that seeks to reduce the vulnerability of social and biological systems to relatively sudden change and thus offset the effects of global warming.
Examples of mitigation include reducing energy demand by increasing energy efficiency, phasing out fossil fuels by switching to low-carbon energy sources, and removing carbon dioxide from Earth’s atmosphere, for example, through improved building insulation. Another approach to climate change mitigation is climate engineering.
