CAUSES

GENERATING POWER

Power generation, mainly through burning of fossil fuels, releases large amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, speeding up climate change.

MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY

Heavy consumption of fossil fuel generated energy in this industry contributing in GHG emissions. Unregulated manufacturing also contributes to environmental pollution and resource depletion, which exacerbate climate change effects.

TRANSPORTATION

Transportation drives climate change through fossil fuel combustion, emitting greenhouse gases from vehicles, planes, ships, and related infrastructure.

DEFORESTATION

Deforestation speeds up climate change by reducing carbon absorption and releasing stored carbon when trees are cut or burned.

BUILDINGS AND INSFRASTRUCTURE

The process of building and maintaining such infrastructure not just reduce the efficiency of natural GHG fixing (deforestration), also releases large quantity of GHG (such as cement production).

AGRICULTURE

Agriculture contributes to climate change through deforestation, methane from livestock, fertilizer use, and fossil fuel-dependent farming practices.
