Climate Change: A long-term

Climate change refers to significant shifts in global

temperatures and weather patterns. Primarily driven by
human activities, these changes have led to severe
impacts, including rising sea levels and increased
weather extremes.

Over the past 200 years, global

temperatures have been steadily
rising, primarily due to human
activities such as the burning of fossil
fuels, deforestation, and industrial
processes. This increase in
temperature has led to significant
changes in the climate, including
more frequent and intense heat
waves, shifting weather patterns, and
rising sea levels.

 International agreements
climate financing

International funding supports developing countries

in climate action. Resources enable resilience efforts
like adaptation projects for infrastructure,
agriculture and emissions cuts. Cooperation helps
vulnerable communities.
 International agreements
Paris agreement

A global goal to limit warming to under 2 degrees Celsius requires

strengthened collaboration. International cooperation is vital to
implementation of emission reduction plans and scaling of
renewable technologies worldwide. Joint efforts through initiatives
like the Paris Agreement can help ensure widespread resilience in
the face of continued climate impacts.
International agreements
Net zero goals

An increasing number of countries are setting ambitious targets to achieve

net-zero greenhouse gas emissions, showing commitment to long-term
sustainability. By articulating strategic visions and timelines for transitioning
to renewable sources while offsetting any lingering pollution, countries take
responsible steps toward playing a role in controlling further warming. The
spirit of collaboration and shared purpose in these net-zero pledges is
hopeful that global cooperation can rise to meet the immense challenge that
climate change poses.
International agreements
Biodiversity conservation

Safeguarding endangered wildlife and their habitats is key to

ensuring resilient, biodiverse ecosystems. Threatened species
and places support the natural wealth of our planet while
bolstering its ability to withstand environmental stresses.
International collaboration to protect Earth's rich diversity
signals our commitment to the interconnected web of life
sustaining us all.

 SMART Goal 1
Greduce local carbon footprint by
20% within two years
Specific: Focus on reducing household energy use and waste by promoting energy-efficient practices
and sustainable transportation.

Measurable: Assess progress through community surveys on energy consumption and waste outputs,
with collaboration from local utility companies for data tracking.

Achievable: Engage local environmental experts to lead workshops, providing practical strategies for
participants to implement in their daily lives.

Relevant: This goal directly addresses climate change, contributing to broader global efforts and
fostering community responsibility.

Time-bound: Aim to achieve this reduction by the end of the two-year period, with bi-annual
evaluations to ensure progress.
 SMART goal 2
Planting 1000 trees in the community over the
next
Specific: Target specific areas for reforestation, two years
including parks and schools, to increase local greenery
and biodiversity.

Measurable: Keep detailed records of each tree planted, including species and locations, to track
progress and survival rates.

Achievable: Collaborate with schools and local organizations to organize tree-planting events,
leveraging community support for participation.

Relevant: This goal enhances environmental sustainability by contributing to carbon sequestration and
improving local air quality.

Time-bound: Implement quarterly planting events, aiming to plant around 250 trees at each event to
meet the target within two years.
 Funding methods
● Crowdfunding Campaigns: These are online campaigns to mobilize community support and
raise money.
● Details: This can also be showcased to larger audiences through crowdfunding websites like
GoFundMe or Kickstarter.

○ $1,500 CAD for marketing materials (flyers, banners, and social media promotions).
○ $2,500 CAD for event logistics (permits, equipment rental, and refreshments for volunteers).

Profit Margin: Aim for a 30% increase in funds through events and sponsorships.

● Projection: Expect to raise $8,450 CAD through combined funding methods and community support.
