GreenHouse Gases

GHG

Methane

Isa pang uri ng GHGs (GreenHouse Gases)

Klima

It ay ang kalagayan ng atmospera sa loob ng mahabang panahon o oras.

Climate change

It refers to a change in climate that can be identified by changes in the mean and/or variability of its properties and that persists for an extended period typically decades or longer, whether due to natural variability or as a result of human activity.

Disaster

It refers to a serious disruption of the functioning of a community or a society involving widespread human, material, economic or environmental losses and impacts which exceed the ability of the affected community or society to cope using its own resources.

Sea level rise

It refers to an increase in sea level which may be influenced by factors like global warming through expansion of sea water as the oceans warm and melting of ice over land and local factors such as land subsidence.

Anthropogenic causes

It refers to causes resulting from human activities or produced by human beings.

Greenhouse Gases (GHG)

It refers to constituents of the atmosphere that contribute to the greenhouse effect including, but not limited to, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons and sulfur hexafluoride.

Mitigation in the context of climate change

It refers to human intervention to address anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of all GHG, including ozone-depleting substances and their substitutes.

Adaptive capacity

It refers to the ability of ecological, social or economic systems to adjust to climate change including climate variability and extremes, to moderate or offset potential damages and to take advantage of associated opportunities with changes in climate or to cope with the consequences thereof.

Adaptation

It refers to the adjustment in natural or human systems in response to actual or expected climatic stimuli or their effects, which moderates harm or exploits beneficial opportunities.

Disaster risk reduction

It refers to the concept and practice of reducing disaster risks through systematic efforts to analyze and manage the casual factors of disasters, including through reduced exposure to hazards, lessened vulnerability of people and property, wise management of land and the environment, and improved preparedness for adverse events.

Vulnerability

It refers to the degree to which a system is susceptible to, or unable to cope with, adverse effects of climate change, including climate variability and extremes. It is a function of the character, magnitude, and rate of climate change and variation to which a system is exposed, its sensitivity, and its adaptive capacity.

Global warming

It refers to the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans that is associated with the increased concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Mainstreaming

It refers to the integration of policies and measures that address climate change into development planning and sectoral decision-making.

Greenhouse effect

It refers to the process by which the absorption of infrared radiation by the atmosphere warms the Earth.

Climate risk

It refers to the product of climate and related hazards working over the vulnerability of human and natural ecosystems.

Gender mainstreaming

It refers to the strategy for making women's as well as men's concerns and experiences an integral dimension of the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the policies and programs in all political, economic, and societal spheres so that women and men benefit equally and inequality is not perpetuated. It is the process of assessing the implications for women and men of any planned action, including legislation, policies, or programs in all areas and at all levels.

Climate variability

It refers to the variations in the average state and in other statistics of the climate on all temporal and spatial scales beyond that of individual weather events.

Mitigation potential

It shall refer to the scale of GHG reductions that could be made, relative to emission baselines, for a given level of carbon price (expressed in cost per unit of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions avoided or reduced)

Panahon

Ito ay ang kondisyon ng isang lugar o kapaligiran sa loob lamang ng maikling oras.

Climate change o pagbabago ng klima

Ito ay ang pagbabago sa karaniwang panahon na dapat sana ay mangyari sa isang lugar. Ito ay dahil sa pagtaas ng mga greenhouse gases na nagpapainit sa mundo.

Global warming

Ito ay resulta ng malakihang konsentrasyon o bolyum ng greenhouse gases.
