In 1997 countries met in Kyoto and agreed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions

The Paris Agreement
sustainable development
We plant crops to:
obtain raw materials
get food
move around
have access to water
This includes pesticides and fertilizers from agriculture, industrial waste and rubbish.

Polluting gases are known as:

greenhouse gases
The effect of human activities on the environment is called
Natural Elements
Environmental impact
Man-made Elements
Respecting the environment:
air pollution
sustainable development
overexploitation
deforestation
Air, animals, plants, and water are examples of:
Sustainable Development
Natural Elements
Man-made Elements
Deforestation
The environment contains two types of elements. Man-made elements include:
Plants and animals.
Air and water.
Mountains and valleys.
Buildings and crop fields.
This is industrial waste, oil leaks and wastewater from urban areas.

The loss of forests:
sustainable development
air pollution
deforestation
overexploitation
We extract rocks and minerals from the earth to:
obtain raw materials
get food
move around
have access to water
This happens when we consume natural resources more quickly than they are naturally replenished.

To protect landscapes, to recover damaged landscapes, and to prevent damage to landscapes are examples of:
The three objectives of the environmental laws

The Kyoto Protocol
the effects of climate change
We build reservoirs to:
get food
move around
obtain raw materials
have access to water
These have the highest level of protection.

This involves gases released by vehicles, industries, and heating
