Climate Hot map"Observational evidence from all continents and most oceans shows that many natural systems are being affected by regional climate changes, particularly temperature increases." –Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), 2007
The evidence of climate change includes: Coral reef bleaching Heat waves Flooding Earlier spring arrival Melting glaciers
Climate Hot map
Greatest concentration in :• North America• Europe
Scientist would focus research in
Russia, Antarctica,
Oceania and
South America
Global warming effects
HEALTHSPublic health impacts include injuries and deaths from heat waves; and changes in disease pathways and allergen potency
WATER USE
Poses risks to the quality and supply of water
for drinking, irrigation, shipping, and recreation;
rising seas can intrude into coastal groundwater
used for drinking
Impacts of Global warming
Global warming is already underway with consequences that must be faced today as well as tomorrow. Evidence of changes to the Earth's physical, chemical and biological processes is now evident on every continent.
- Sea levels are rising- glaciers are shrinking
- record high temperatures- severe rainstorms
- droughts BBecoming ecoming increasingly increasingly

Impacts of Global warming
Some further warming is already unavoidable due to past heat-trapping emissions
If we don' t reduce today's emissions,
scientists project extra warming and thus
additional impacts.
Impacts on FoodClimate-related threats to global food
production include risks to:
• Reduced yields • Increased irrigation• Planting and harvesting
changes• Decreased arability• More pests• Risks to fisheries
As with health risks, nations and
individuals do not bear threats to
the global food supply equally
Rise fields in Vietnam
are vulnerable to sea level rise
Climate change already affecting food supply' – UN
Report by climate change panel says global warming
is fuelling not only natural disasters, but
potentially famine – and war
The scientists of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change found
evidence of climate change far beyond thawing Arctic permafrost and
crumbling coral reefs – "on all continents and across the oceans".
"Governments across the world must stand up to the oil, gas and coal industries, and take their foot of the fossil fuel accelerator that's speeding us towards a climate disaster."
EXPO It's an important universal exbition about the problems of nutrition
and the resorces of our planet.
145 participating countries and over 20 milion visitors.
AUSTRIA'S PAVILLION Austria uses sustainable techniques to produce food and its organic
products are available to consumers in supermarkets in a large
quantity.
Another characteristic of his composition it's the purity of its
climate air in environment.
ISRAEL'S PAVILION This country, thanks to development and reserch, as been able to
transform much of it mostly arid land into fertil terrain
