University Climate Change Analysis: Foundation Skill Tasks 1-4

This assignment solution addresses a climate change analysis, covering several key aspects. It begins by identifying the student's strengths and weaknesses in relation to the topic, highlighting visual and social abilities as strengths, while acknowledging weaknesses in logical thinking and communication. The assignment then explores potential solutions to climate change, emphasizing the importance of teamwork, ethical choices, and commitment. The student analyzes data and images related to climate change, identifying CO2 and greenhouse gas emissions as major problems and recognizing the impact on agriculture as a significant missing piece of information. The student's opinion shifts after reviewing the data, leading to a deeper understanding of climate change impacts. Finally, the assignment presents information in figures illustrating the countries most affected by climate change, the most affected sectors, and the effects on living standards. This document provides a comprehensive overview of the student's analysis and findings on the multifaceted issue of climate change.

TASK 1
7 learning outcomes of foundation skill workshop
Own strengths and developing areas of growth: In this context I can say that having visual
and social ability is my main strengths as it helps me out in understanding and well as
remembering anything with images. Social engagement also makes me able to understand
sensitive topics and improve relation.
Challenges have been undertaken: While working on this project of climate changes, some
issues have been faced and it was all because of my weakness and lack of ability to think
logically anything. Lack of communication is also my weakness which created problems in
gathering more information.
Ways to initiate a plan: Better way of making plan and working accordingly is working with
other or in a team.
Commitment to experience: I found that by making ourselves involved in project, We can
experience in a better way.
Benefits of working collaboratively: When we work in a team and with collaboration then it
increases our knowledge, we learn different and effective ways of performing function and
overall it reduces errors.
Engagement with issues: Climate change is one of the main and hot topic as people affect the
most from it so, I made myself engaged with this completely and it helps me out in getting
several information related to it.
Ethics of choice and actions: By showing consequences of choices and suggesting better and
ethical actions we can make better plan and complete project successful.
In the context of issues shown in images it can clearly be seen that most of the problems are
occurring because of co2 emission and also it is not possible to recycle plastics and animals got
hurt by it. So, in this context it can be said that by making use of landfills with plastic and
implementing legislations regarding plastic use it can be solved out and also we need to follow
all rules in an effective manner.

In other images it can be seen that climate change is affecting and hurting health of people so, for
this we need to take care of ourselves and supporting others in making environment pollution
free by not spreading and throwing garbage in water and taking environmental protection
responsibility seriously
TASK 2
Evaluation and interpreting data
The most significant trend: From the data and images of climate change issues it has been
found that Co2 and green house emission is one of the main problem which is affecting many
countries and people. It is the reason of global warming and increasing use of vehicles which is
raising temperature.
Missing information: Among all data and information, it is found that all these shows effects of
global warming, flood on people, air pollution and others. But one of the main effects which
climate change have is on agriculture. Agriculture affect the most from climate change and due
to this, farmers commit suicide every year so, it is one of the missing information.
Information helps in better understanding of the issue: There are some information and data
which shows the most affected country from climate change and also the most effected area from
climate change.

From the above data and information it can clearly be seen and can be said that the most affected
countries from 1999-2018 via long term climate risk index. It also shows affected areas due to
climate change like changes in revenue, GDP, deaths, total losses and others. So, it can be said
that this information is missing and can help in better understanding about climate change issues.
Task 3
Changes in position or opinion after reviewing data
After reviewing all new data and information I can say that it changes my opinion about effects
of climate change and I found the genuine and actual reason as why farmers commit suicide and
how climate changes affecting them to the great extent. It also increased knowledge that most of
the reasons are manmade as humans are responsible for global warming and other climate
change issues. From above data and after reviewing all data I can say that it has increased my
research skill and also increased a positive energy of performing functions voluntarily for
vulnerable and all affected people for improving their living standard.
