ES9005 CLIMATE CHANGE AND ADAPTATION L T P C
3 0 0 3
OBJECTIVE:
To understand the Earth’s Climate System and the concept of Global Warming, the
impact of climate change on society and its mitigation measures.
UNIT I EARTH’S CLIMATE SYSTEM 9
Introduction-Climate in the spotlight - The Earth’s Climate Machine – Climate
Classification - Global Wind Systems – Trade Winds and the Hadley Cell – The
Westerlies - Cloud Formation and Monsoon Rains – Storms and Hurricanes - The
Hydrological Cycle – Global Ocean Circulation – El Nino and its Effect - Solar Radiation
–The Earth's Natural Green House Effect – Green House Gases and Global Warming –
Carbon Cycle.
UNIT II OBSERVED CHANGES AND ITS CAUSES 9
Observation of Climate Change – Changes in patterns of temperature, precipitation and
sea level rise – Observed effects of Climate Changes – Patterns of Large Scale
Variability – Drivers of Climate Change – Climate Sensitivity and Feedbacks – The
Montreal Protocol – UNFCCC – IPCC –Evidences of Changes in Climate and
Environment – on a Global Scale and in India – climate change modeling.

UNIT III IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE 9
Impacts of Climate Change on various sectors – Agriculture, Forestry and Ecosystem –
Water Resources – Human Health – Industry, Settlement and Society – Methods and
Scenarios – Projected Impacts for Different Regions– Uncertainties in the Projected
Impacts of Climate Change – Risk of Irreversible Changes.
UNIT IV CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION AND MITIGATION
MEASURES 9
Adaptation Strategy/Options in various sectors – Water – Agriculture –- Infrastructure
and Settlement including coastal zones – Human Health – Tourism – Transport – Energy
