renewable energy sources such as wind & solar energy and non-renewable energy sources such as nuclear energy which could also be utilized as an energy source for generations to come. Sustainable energy plays a vital role in the battle against climate change. It helps to reduce emission of greenhouse gases and carbon footprints. Therefore, it is necessary to adopt the use of existing sustainable energy technologies along with improved energy efficiency and research and investment in new technologies
CHAPTER 2 LITERATURE REVIEW IMMIGRANTIONS 11. Migration of people is old as recorded history of the world. From the ancient history migrants find some reason to move from a country to another. The reasons may be safety, food, shelter or any other personal requirement. Migration has both positive and negative impacts for both countries which are involved. As many other human activities, migration also has increased rapidly and it has grabbed the world attention today. For many countries it has
of water availability on reinvestment capacity. 1. Water Availability Sri Lanka has three climatic zone such as dry zone, intermediate zone and wet zone based on average precipitation and temperature. Sri Lankan climate show slow and continuous increases in temperature (0.0016oc per year), frequent occurrence of extreme weather events and variability in seasonal rainfall (Nishadi eriyagama et al, 2010). These climate changes directly affect the water resources capacity and water availability. Annual
However, tourism in Maldives is at risk to climate effects. Climate change may worsen these challenges to tourism. The Maldives has already experienced extreme events consistent with expected climate change, and estimates show that climate hazards will become more severe. Economic effects from climate change on tourism sector in the Maldives may be significant. For example, climate change may result in losses in tourism expenditures from rising temperatures, making
Abstract The present report is going to focus in one of the most relevant problems of our modern society: food insecurity. Natural hazards, famines or shortages, but also is bad management from some governments that destroys their food availability and their consequences, countries without food security creating ravenous hunger within their population and strategies to counter food insecurity are key topics that are going to be taken out in this report. 1. Introduction Food insecurity is the situation
One of the multiple changes that is anticipated as a result of an anthropogenically warmed global climate is a rise in sea level. Mean global sea-level has already begun rising; over the 20th century mean sea-level rose 0.17 metres (0.12 metres – 0.22 metres). Significantly the rate of this rise was seen to accelerate towards the end of the century. What is modelled in this study is observed sea-level, which is a function of mean sea level, tidal influences and meteorological forcing of the mean
torative Justice The United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) has defined restorative justice as "an evolving response to crime that respects the dignity and equality of each person, builds understanding, and promotes social harmony through the healing of victims, offenders and communities provide an opportunity for victims to obtain reparation, feel safer and seek closure; allows offenders to gain insight into the causes and effects of their behaviour and to take responsibility in a meaningful
Two factors have contributed this transitional stage from being hunter-gatherers to being farmers. Exogenous factors; factors that man has a little control of such as nature, and climate are discussed throughout the history where the researchers identified the end of the age of Pleistocene eradicated the nomadic lifestyle that was carried out which eventually lead to permanent residence and subsistence farming . Cultural factors such
Over the past few decades, the frequency and impact of natural disasters have increased dramatically. Millions have been killed, billions have been affected, and the cost of damage has been immeasurable. Although people can’t change when, where or how often they occur, they can prepare and minimize their impact. With the coastal population being the most vulnerable to disasters, actions need to be taken to prepare for possible catastrophes. People living along the coast should be more prepared for
2.0 LITERATURE REVIEW 2.1 INTRODUCTION Millions of people across the world rely on tea. Tea originates from china as a medicinal crop and it has now grown to a multi-billion dollar global industry. In China for instance has over 80 million tea growers, in India it has an estimation of 2 million seasonal tea labourers and a million permanent tea workers while in our country Kenya it supports over three million people. As we depend on it to earn our living so it does to millions of workers around
