The effects of climate change
Learn the effects of climate change using this template.
If you are aware of them, you will be able to do something to avoid them. Think about rising temperatures, eco-system problems, overpopulation, and the effects of climate change on resources.
Climate change can cause extreme weather events, plant and animal extinction and has many other effects that can affect us directly and indirectly.
Rising temperatures can cause sea level rise, ice-caps melting, oceans warming, and water evaporating. They also have several effects. You will have to think about some examples.
Changes in the climate system affect plants, animals, and biodiversity.
Overpopulation leads to overfarming, food/water scarcity, and overfishing.
Think about ways to save resources like new infrastructure investments for energy and find reusable energy sources.
Climate Change
Global warming is the ongoing rise of the average temperature of the Earth's climate system which has various negative effects.
Overpopulation
Overpopulation creates an increased demand for energy as well as having negative effects on our environment and ecosystems.
Overfishing
Overfishing is the removal of a species of fish from a body of water at a rate that the species cannot replenish, resulting in those species becoming underpopulated in that area.
This will lead to a Marine Ecosystem imbalance with time.
Food/water scarcity
Water is essential for agricultural production and food security. It is the lifeblood of ecosystems, including forests, lakes, and wetlands.
Overpopulation affects our water and this has negative outcomes.
Overfarming
Over-cultivation is the practice of excessive farming on a piece of land to the point of degradation of the soil as well as the land itself.
Resources
Climate change is likely to both increase electricity demand for cooling in the summer and decrease electricity, natural gas, heating oil, and wood demand for heating in the winter.
Reusable energy
Finding reusable energy sources can be our first step towards conserving our environment.
Clean energy
How will climate change affect the production of clean energy?
e.g.: solar, wind, water
New energy
New infrastructure investments may be necessary to meet increased energy demand.
e.g.: nuclear power plants
Example
Eco-system
Healthy ecosystems and rich biodiversity are fundamental to life on our planet.
Even small changes in average temperatures can have a significant effect upon ecosystems.
Biodiversity
The inter-connected nature of ecosystems means that the loss of species can have knock-on effects upon a range of ecosystem functions.
e.g. bees go extinct
Plants
Climate change will affect mountain and lowland ecosystems, the diversity of wildlife, and the distribution of freshwater.
e.g.: forest fires
Animals
Climate change is affecting the habitats of several species, which must either adapt or migrate to areas with more favorable conditions.
e.g.: natural habitat disappearing
Rising temperature
Climate change is supported by scientific evidence.
Water evaporating Warming oceans
Write down the consequences caused by this issue and how it will affect our lives and the environment in the future.
e.g.: flooding, rainfall increase
Melting ice-caps
Write down the consequences caused by the melting of the ice-caps and how it will affect our lives and the environment in the future.
e.g.: decreasing of polar bear habitat
Sea level rising
Write down the consequences caused by this issue and how it will affect our lives and the environment in the future.
e.g.: decreasing of land surface

Waarom een Mindomo mindmap template gebruiken?
Mindmappen helpen je brainstormen, relaties leggen tussen concepten, organiseren en ideeën genereren.
Mindmapsjablonen bieden echter een eenvoudigere manier om aan de slag te gaan, omdat het kaders zijn die informatie bevatten over een specifiek onderwerp met begeleidende instructies. In essentie zorgen mindmapsjablonen voor de structuur die alle elementen van een specifiek onderwerp combineert en als startpunt dient voor je persoonlijke mindmap. Ze zijn een hulpmiddel om een praktische oplossing te bieden voor het maken van een mindmap over een bepaald onderwerp, zowel voor het bedrijfsleven als voor het onderwijs.
Mindomo brengt je slimme mindmap templates waarmee je moeiteloos kunt functioneren en denken.
Een sjabloon heeft verschillende functionaliteiten:
Beschrijvende onderwerpen
Onderwerpen met achtergrondtekst
Standaard tak
De sjabloongegevens verwijderen
Je kunt kiezen uit verschillende mind map templates van Mindomo's zakelijke of educatieve accounts, of je kunt je eigen mind map templates maken. Elke mindmap kan getransformeerd worden in een mindmap template map door extra notities toe te voegen aan één van de onderwerpen.
