Open Banking permits many innovative fintech offerings to be offered to mobile customers from a variety of start-ups as well as established online systems that are not banks, such as major online retailers. 2. Mobile-Only Banks The megatrends include mobile-only banks with non-stop convenience, improved customer experience using chatbots, personalization through artificial intelligence algorithms, and bundled product offerings. 3 . Non -Traditional Banks and Social Responsibility There is a continued expansion of the marketing of mobile Fintech services plus other innovations expected in 2020. Along with these mobile banking trends, there are increased opportunities for e-commerce in banking. A growing number of Fintech start-ups promote social awareness along with corporate social responsibility that is aggressively advertised, promoted, and explained to its customers for powerful market differentiation. 4. Instant Credit Decisions Micro-lending of amounts up to a few thousand dollars, which is like a payday loan, is now available via mobile apps that give instant credit decisions without needing to verify credit history. Access to the direct deposit information of payroll payments is all that is needed to verify an applicant’s ability to repay the loan. Decisions are made in seconds with the funds immediately made available for approved borrowers. 5.

This isn't technically Prime Minister Boris Johnson's idea - he inherited the pledge from the former prime minister Theresa May, who put the commitment into law in June last year. But Mr Johnson has said he wanted fighting climate change to be one of his government's biggest priorities and he has made a series of announcements around renewable energy, national parks and protecting the environment. Have previous COP events made an impact? Getty Images COP 25: The conference in Madrid became the longest on record, finishing almost two days later than planned, after more than two weeks of tense negotiations. It was hoped the conference would show that world leaders were aware of how much needed to be done. Instead, the main focus ended up being climate activist Greta Thunberg, who arrived from her transatlantic journey by sailing boat just in time to join the event. There were also big protests by young people - angry at the lack of progress being made by leaders to fight climate change - in the Spanish capital.

The initial pledges of 2015 are insufficient to meet the target, and governments are expected to review and increase these pledges as a key objective this year, 2021. The updated Paris Agreement commitments will be reviewed at the climate change conference known as COP 26 in Glasgow, UK in November 2021. This conference will be the most important intergovernmental meeting on the climate crisis since the Paris agreement was passed in 2015. The success or otherwise of this conference will have stark consequences for the world. If countries cannot agree on sufficient pledges, in another 5 years, the emissions reduction necessary will leap to a near-impossible 15.5% every year. The unlikelihood of achieving this far steeper rate of decarbonization means the world faces a global temperature increase that will rise above 1.5°C. Every fraction of additional warming above 1.5°C will bring worsening impacts, threatening lives, food sources, livelihoods and economies worldwide. Countries are not on track to fulfill the promises they have made. Increased commitments can take many forms but overall they must serve to shift countries and economies onto a path of decarbonization, setting targets for net-zero carbon, and timelines of how to reach that target, most typically through a rapid acceleration of energy sourced from renewables and rapid deceleration of fossil fuel dependency.

LONDON — British Prime Minister Boris Johnson began a 'year of climate action' on Tuesday, hours after the former president of the U.N. climate conference said the British leader doesn't 'get' climate change. The United Kingdom will hold a major international climate summit in Glasgow in November — considered the most significant gathering of world leaders since the 2015 climate meeting in Paris — and Britain is keen to strengthen its claim to leadership in the area, especially as it prepares for its place on the world stage post-Brexit. Johnson officially began COP26, as the climate talks are known, at London’s Science Museum on Tuesday. Appearing alongside revered British naturalist David Attenborough, the prime minister declared that Britain, as the “first country to industrialize,” has a “responsibility to lead the way.” Johnson urged other countries to match Britain’s pledge — made by his predecessor Theresa May last year — to cut greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050. He also announced that Britain will ban new gas, diesel and hybrid cars by 2035, cutting the current target of 2040 by five years. Other countries, such as Germany, Ireland and the Netherlands, are banning fossil fuel vehicles by 2030. Britain’s car industry questioned whether the goal is achievable.

Section::::Other effects of climate change. There are many secondary effects of climate change and sea level rise particular to island nations. According to the US Fish and Wildlife Service climate change in the Pacific Islands will cause 'continued increases in air and ocean surface temperatures in the Pacific, increased frequency of extreme weather events, and increased rainfall during the summer months and a decrease in rainfall during the winter months'. This would entail distinct changes to the small, diverse, and isolated island ecosystems and biospheres present within many of these island nations. As sea level rises island nations are at increased risk of losing coastal arable land to degradation as well as salinification. Once the limited available soil on these islands is salinified it becomes very difficult to produce subsistence crops such as breadfruit. This would severely impact the agricultural and commercial sector in nations such as the Marshall Islands and Kiribati. In addition, local fisheries would also be severely affected by higher ocean temperatures and increased ocean acidification. As ocean temperatures rise and the pH of oceans decreases, many fish and other marine species would die out or change their habits and range. As well as this, water supplies and local ecosystems such as mangroves, are threatened by global warming.

Effects | Facts – Climate Change: Vital Signs of the Planet The Effects of Climate Change The potential future effects of global climate change include more frequent wildfires, longer periods of drought in some regions and an increase in the number, duration and intensity of tropical storms. Credit: Left - Mellimage/Shutterstock.com, center - Montree Hanlue/Shutterstock.com. › en español Global climate change has already had observable effects on the environment. Glaciers have shrunk, ice on rivers and lakes is breaking up earlier, plant and animal ranges have shifted and trees are flowering sooner. Effects that scientists had predicted in the past would result from global climate change are now occurring: loss of sea ice, accelerated sea level rise and longer, more intense heat waves. Taken as a whole, the range of published evidence indicates that the net damage costs of climate change are likely to be significant and to increase over time. Scientists have high confidence that global temperatures will continue to rise for decades to come, largely due to greenhouse gases produced by human activities. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which includes more than 1,300 scientists from the United States and other countries, forecasts a temperature rise of 2.5 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit over the next century.

Glacier retreat since 1960 These aspects of climate have not been observed to change so far: Increased incidence of Tornadoes Increased incidence of Dust-storms Increased incidence of Hail Increased incidence of Lightning Melting Antarctic sea ice How will global warming affect our future? The predicted effects of global warming will mean that more of what would have been 'normal' storms become more destructive, heavy rainfall becomes very heavy rainfall, short droughts become longer droughts etc. More extreme weather events will become more common. The worst potential effects of global warming are probably a result of melting of icecaps so causing global sea-levels to rise and flood many low-lying areas of the world including major cities and agricultural areas. The extent to which this might happen is dependent on how much the temperature may rise and this is the most difficult to forecast. One of the currently most regarded estimates for this future warming is 1.8°C - this is in addition to warming that has already happened. IPCC There is however the possibility that this could be anywhere from a possible 1.1°C to as high as 6.4°C. This warming effect is expected to be greater in the Northern than the Southern hemisphere and to become more pronounced at higher northern latitudes. These are some of the predicted effects for the future.

Warmer global temperatures in the atmosphere and oceans leads to climate changes affecting rainfall patterns, arctic ice (and the northern jet stream that drives our weather), frequency and intensity of storms and droughts, growing seasons, humidity, melting polar and glacial ice, and sea level. Also, while “global warming” is planet-wide, “climate change” can refer to changes at the global, continental, regional and local levels. Even though a warming trend is global, different areas around the world will experience different specific changes in their climates, which will have unique impacts on local plants, animals and people. A few areas might even get cooler rather than warmer, and extreme weather events can include snowstorms as well as heat waves. back to top Why is climate change a concern? Rising levels of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases have warmed the earth and are already causing wide-ranging impacts, from rising sea levels, to melting snow and ice, to more drought and extreme rainfall. Scientists project that these trends will continue and in some cases accelerate, posing significant risks to human health, our forests, agriculture, freshwater supplies, coastlines, and other natural resources that are vital to Washington State’s economy, environment, and our way of life.

Effects of climate change on humans - Wikipedia Effects of climate change on humans From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to navigation Jump to search Impact of climate change on humanity For broader coverage of this topic, see Effects of climate change. Flooding in the Midwestern United States, June 2008 The effects of climate change on humans are far reaching and include effects on health, environment, displacement and migration, security, society, human settlement, energy, and transport. Climate change has brought about possibly irreversible alterations to Earth's geological, biological, and ecological systems. These changes have led to the emergence of large-scale environmental hazards to human health; such as extreme weather, ozone depletion, increased danger of wildfires, loss of biodiversity, stresses to food-producing systems, and the global spread of infectious diseases. In addition, climatic changes were estimated to cause over 150,000 deaths annually in 2002, with the World Health Organization estimating this number will increase to 250,000 deaths annually between 2030 and 2050. A growing body of research explores the many impacts of climate change on human health, food supply, economic growth, migration, security, societal change, and public goods, such as drinking water. The consequences of these changes are most likely detrimental in the long term.

A rise in air temperature results in a rise in water temperature, which is also very significant in water degradation as the water would become more susceptible to bacterial growth. An increase in water temperature can also affect ecosystems greatly because of a species' sensitivity to temperature, and also by inducing changes in a body of water's self-purification system from decreased amounts of dissolved oxygen in the water due to rises in temperature. Climate change and precipitation A rise in global temperatures is also predicted to correlate with an increase in global precipitation but because of increased runoff, floods, increased rates of soil erosion, and mass movement of land, a decline in water quality is probable, because while water will carry more nutrients it will also carry more contaminants. While most of the attention about climate change is directed towards global warming and greenhouse effect, some of the most severe effects of climate change are likely to be from changes in precipitation, evapotranspiration, runoff, and soil moisture. It is generally expected that, on average, global precipitation will increase, with some areas receiving increases and some decreases. Climate models show that while some regions should expect an increase in precipitation, such as in the tropics and higher latitudes, other areas are expected to see a decrease, such as in the subtropics.

With climate change, the frequency, severity, duration, and location of weather and climate phenomena—like rising temperatures, heavy rains and droughts, and some other kinds of severe weather—are changing. This means that areas already experiencing health-threatening weather and climate phenomena, such as severe heat or hurricanes, are likely to experience worsening impacts, such as higher temperatures and increased storm intensity, rainfall rates, and storm surge. It also means that some locations will experience new climate-related health threats. For example, areas previously unaffected by toxic algal blooms or waterborne diseases because of cooler water temperatures may face these hazards in the future as increasing water temperatures allow the organisms that cause these health risks to thrive. Even areas that currently experience these health threats may see a shift in the timing of the seasons that pose the greatest risk to human health. Climate change can therefore affect human health in two main ways: first, by changing the severity or frequency of health problems that are already affected by climate or weather factors; and second, by creating unprecedented or unanticipated health problems or health threats in places where they have not previously occurred.

“I found this topic really interesting because this wasn't something I was hearing people talk about and this wasn't well acknowledged as an effect of climate change,” said Susan Clayton, the lead author of the report and a professor of psychology at the College of Wooster in Ohio. Some things can protect people from the worst psychological effects of climate-change-induced natural disasters, such as having social support. In contrast, those who live in communities where livelihood is directly tied to the environment, such as agriculture, tourism or fishing, are more vulnerable to negative mental-health impacts, according to the report. People in indigenous communities are particularly vulnerable because climate change can threaten environmental aspects of their cultural heritage. Climate change can be a cause of stress, which is often caused by a sense of a loss of control or an inability to adapt to a new situation. Increased stress levels can increase the likelihood of problems such as substance abuse, anxiety disorders or depression, according to the report.  Problems exacerbated by climate change have carry-over effects on a person's physical health, the economy and the community. Changes in weather patterns can affect agriculture and infrastructure, which may force some people to migrate.

Storms, floods, and wildfires are estimated to leave an additional $5 billion in damage each year, while rising seas cost 1% of GDP to the lowest-income countries – 4% in the Pacific – with 65 billion dollars annually lost from the world economy. The report further states that most impacts are highly concentrated on children and the poor with the majority of the death toll is concentrated on children living in Sub-Saharan Africa or South Asia, and that gradual, not sudden, impacts from climate change causes more than 90% of all damage. Over 80% of people at risk from climate-caused desertification reside in high-growth emerging economies such as China and India. The report also states that half of the economic impacts of climate change are felt in industrialized countries. However, developing countries suffer much greater relative stresses to their economies, mainly due to larger, less robust agricultural sectors. Just 15 countries are considered acutely vulnerable to climate change today, collectively suffering nearly half of all climate impacts. Recognized fragile states or failed states like Afghanistan, Haiti, Myanmar, Sierra Leone, and Somalia are among the worst affected.

Developing countries are the least able to adapt to climate change (and are therefore called 'highly climate vulnerable') due to their relatively low levels of wealth, technology, education, infrastructure and access to resources. This applies to many countries in Sub-Saharan Africa or Small Island Developing States. Some of those island states are likely to face total inundation. Fragile states or failed states like Afghanistan, Haiti, Myanmar, Sierra Leone, and Somalia are among the worst affected. Climate vulnerability has been quantified in the Climate Vulnerability Monitor reports of 2010 and 2012. Climate vulnerability in developing countries occurs in four impact areas: health, extreme weather, habitat loss, and economic stress. A report by the Climate Vulnerability Monitor in 2012 estimated that climate change causes 400,000 deaths on average each year, mainly due to hunger and communicable diseases in developing countries. These effects are most severe for the world’s poorest countries. A changing climate also results in economic burdens. The economies in Least Developed Countries have lost an average of 7% of their gross domestic product for the year 2010, mainly due to reduced labor productivity. Rising sea levels cost 1% of GDP to the least developed countries in 2010 – 4% in the Pacific – with 65 billion dollars annually lost from the world economy.

Where a country is particularly vulnerable to climate change they are called 'highly climate vulnerable'. This applies to many countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, fragile states or failed states like Afghanistan, Haiti, Myanmar, and Somalia, as well as to Small Island Developing States. In the cases where developing countries produce only small quantities of greenhouse gas emissions per capita but are very vulnerable to the negative effects of global warming, the term 'forced riders' as opposed to the 'free riders' has been used as a descriptor. Such countries include Comoros, The Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, São Tomé and Príncipe, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu. Climate vulnerability has been quantified in the Climate Vulnerability Monitor reports of 2010 and 2012. Climate vulnerability in developing countries occurs in four impact areas: health, extreme weather, habitat loss, and economic stress. A report by the Climate Vulnerability Monitor in 2012 estimated that climate change causes 400,000 deaths on average each year, mainly due to hunger and communicable diseases in developing countries. These effects are most severe for the world's poorest countries. Internationally there is recognition of the mismatch between those that have caused climate change and those which will suffer the most from climate change, termed ' climate justice '.

Tackling climate change will only be possible if the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are met, in particular Sustainable Development Goal 13 on climate action. Climate stress is likely to add to existing migration patterns in developing countries and beyond but is not expected to generate entirely new flows of people. A report by the World Bank in 2018 estimated that around 143 million people in three regions (Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and Latin America) could be forced to move within their own countries to escape the slow-onset impacts of climate change. They will migrate from less viable areas with lower water availability and crop productivity and from areas affected by rising sea level and storm surges. In spite of the cumulative stressors and challenges faced by developing countries in adapting to the effects of climate change, there are those that are world leaders in the field such as Bangladesh. Bangladesh created a national programme in 2009 focused on how the country would adapt to climate change (the first country to do so). It established a fund to support these plans, spending on average $1 billion annually in this regard.

Scholars have long been researching the potential effects of climate change in Africa. That’s urgent.  As the climate changes, billions of lives will change with it. We urgently need to understand and prepare for those changes, including droughts, floods, land loss, and weather changes that may lead to extinctions, widespread hunger, mass displacements, epidemics, conflict and other catastrophic results. But there’s a catch. Instead of examining how climate change will affect the broadest territories with the most exposure to climate change, researchers are going to the countries that are most convenient for them to visit and study. When I examined the existing research, I discovered that we know a lot more about how climate change will affect countries that a) are former British colonies, b) have stronger protections for civil liberties, and c) have more stable political institutions than countries without these characteristics. That’s understandable — but problematic. Let’s look more closely. My research finds that scholars studying the effects of climate change have devoted roughly the same amount of attention to Kenya and South Africa — two countries with a combined population of 99 million — as to 29 other African countries, whose combined population numbers 280 million.

Date 1995 ( 1995) – Organized by UN The United Nations Climate Change Conferences are yearly conferences held in the framework of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). They serve as the formal meeting of the UNFCCC Parties ( Conference of the Parties, COP) to assess progress in dealing with climate change, and beginning in the mid-1990s, to negotiate the Kyoto Protocol to establish legally binding obligations for developed countries to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. From 2005 the Conferences have also served as the 'Conference of the Parties Serving as the Meeting of Parties to the Kyoto Protocol' (CMP); also parties to the Convention that are not parties to the Protocol can participate in Protocol-related meetings as observers. From 2011 the meetings have also been used to negotiate the Paris Agreement as part of the Durban platform activities until its conclusion in 2015, which created a general path towards climate action. The first UN Climate Change Conference was held in 1995 in Berlin.

The agreement includes commitments from all major emitting countries to cut their climate pollution and to strengthen those commitments over time. The pact provides a pathway for developed nations to assist developing nations in their climate mitigation and adaptation efforts, and it creates a framework for the transparent monitoring, reporting, and ratcheting up of countries’ individual and collective climate goals. International leaders stand together at the gathering of COP21 in 2015. Presidencia de la Republica Mexicana via Flickr History of the Paris Agreement Hammered out over two weeks in Paris during the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change’s (UNFCCC) 21st Conference of the Parties (COP 21) and adopted on December 12, 2015, the Paris Agreement marked a historic turning point for global climate action, as world leaders came to a consensus on an accord comprised of commitments by 195 nations to combat climate change and adapt to its impacts. President Obama was able to formally enter the United States into the agreement under international law through executive authority, since it imposed no new legal obligations on the country. The United States has a number of tools already on the books, under laws already passed by Congress, to cut carbon pollution. The country formally joined the agreement in September 2016 after submitting its proposal for participation.

The main aim of the Agreement is to hold the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels', predominantly by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The agreement differs from the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, the last widely adopted amendment to the UNFCCC, in that no annexes are established to lessen responsibility of developing nations. Rather, emissions targets for each nation were separately negotiated and are to be voluntarily enforced, leading United States officials to regard the Paris Agreement as an executive agreement rather than a legally binding treaty. This removed the requirement for the United States Congress to ratify the agreement. In April 2016, the United States became a signatory to the Paris Agreement, and accepted it by executive order in September 2016. President Obama committed the United States to contributing US$3 billion to the Green Climate Fund. The Fund has set itself a goal of raising $100 billion a year by 2020. Article 28 of the agreement enables parties to withdraw from the agreement after sending a withdrawal notification to the depositary, but notice can be given no earlier than three years after the agreement goes into force for the country. Withdrawal is effective one year after the depositary is notified.

The study showed that all countries would need to accelerate the implementation of policies for renewable technologies, while efficiency improvements are especially important in emerging countries and fossil-fuel-dependent countries. Structure The Paris Agreement has a 'bottom up' structure in contrast to most international environmental law treaties, which are 'top down', characterized by standards and targets set internationally, for states to implement. Unlike its predecessor, the Kyoto Protocol, which sets commitment targets that have legal force, the Paris Agreement, with its emphasis on consensus building, allows for voluntary and nationally determined targets. The specific climate goals are thus politically encouraged, rather than legally bound. Only the processes governing the reporting and review of these goals are mandated under international law. This structure is especially notable for the United States—because there are no legal mitigation or finance targets, the agreement is considered an 'executive agreement rather than a treaty'. Because the UNFCCC treaty of 1992 received the consent of the US Senate, this new agreement does not require further legislation from Congress. Another key difference between the Paris Agreement and the Kyoto Protocol is their scope. While the Kyoto Protocol differentiated between Annex-1 and non-Annex-1 countries, this division is blurred in the Paris Agreement, as all parties are required to submit emissions reductions plans.

Kyoto Protocol versus the Paris Agreement While the Kyoto Protocol and Paris Agreement both set out to address climate change, there are some key differences between them. Unlike the Kyoto Protocol, which established top-down legally binding emissions reduction targets (as well as penalties for noncompliance) for developed nations only, the Paris Agreement requires that all countries—rich, poor, developed, and developing—do their part and slash greenhouse gas emissions. To that end, greater flexibility and national ownership is built into the Paris Agreement: No language is included about the commitments countries should make; nations can set their own emissions targets (NDCs) consistent with their level of development and technological advancement. While the Paris Agreement doesn’t have harsh penalties for countries not meeting their targets, it does have a robust system of monitoring, reporting, and reassessing individual and collective country targets over time in order to move the world closer to the broader objectives of the deal. And the agreement sets forth a requirement for countries to announce their next round of targets every five years—unlike the Kyoto Protocol, which aimed for that objective but didn’t include a specific requirement to achieve it.

In fact, the reverse happened: By the end of 2011, Japan, Russia and Canada all said they would not agree to the second commitment period. Here's the key design difference between Kyoto and Paris: Developing nations have already signed on to the Paris accords. President Obama was able to convince poorer nations to agree to Paris from the start because the agreement let nations set voluntary (rather than mandatory, treaty-bound) targets that gave developing countries breathing room to grow their economies before they capped emissions. 'That's key,' Morgan said of the Paris accord. 'It's just much more resilient, I think, because you have everybody pretty much on board.' But the true test of that resiliency isn't found in the recent rhetoric of nations following Trump's decision. It will be when nations have to set new targets in 2020. “I think that will be the real test for Paris,' Meyer said.

Iceland had the least: it was allowed to increase its reductions by 10 percent. As we now know, this approach didn’t work. In theory, it would have solved the free rider problem. But in practice, it didn’t account for one small issue: domestic politics. Domestic politics is complicated The biggest reason why the Kyoto protocol didn’t work was that it didn’t take into account domestic politics.  Countries such as the United States, and eventually Canada and Australia, did not appreciate how difficult it would be to sell the “one-size fits all” approach to their public. The international community is now so wary of “top down” approaches like Kyoto that the pendulum has swung fully to the other end. In Paris, countries will agree to reduce greenhouse emissions in the way and at the level that they see fit. In climate speak, these “Intended Nationally Determined Contributions” (INDCs), allow each country to craft its own policy, in accordance with the preferences of its electorate. From a political science perspective, this new bottom up approach has a few advantages. Although there is still some debate about the legal form of any Paris agreement, it’s pretty clear that it will not be a legally binding treaty like Kyoto.

A report by World Bank in 2018 estimated that around 143 million people in three regions (Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and Latin America) could be forced to move within their own countries to escape the slow-onset impacts of climate change. They will migrate from less viable areas with lower water availability and crop productivity and from areas affected by rising sea level and storm surges. Economic development and climate are inextricably linked, particularly around poverty, gender equality, and energy. Tackling climate change will only be possible if the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are met (goal number 13 is on climate action). Section::::Common challenges.:Population growth. Over the last few decades, global population growth has largely been driven by developing countries, which often have higher birth rates (higher fertility rate) than developed countries. According to the United Nations, family planning can help to slow population growth and decrease poverty in these countries. Section::::Common challenges.:Others. BULLET::::- Increased and intensified industrial and agricultural production and emission of toxic chemicals directly into the soil, air, and water. BULLET::::- Unsustainable use of energy resources.

Economic impacts Agriculture In relation to agricultural systems, heavy reliance on rain-fed subsistence farming and low adoption of climate smart agricultural practices contribute to the sector's high levels of vulnerability. The situation is compounded by poor reliability of, and access to, climate data and information to support adaptation actions. Agriculture is inherently sensitive to climate conditions and is one of the most vulnerable sectors to the risks and impacts of global climate change. Agriculture in most African countries is mainly small-scale and rain-fed, making it particularly vulnerable to climate variability and change. Observed and projected disruptions in precipitation patterns due to climate change are likely to shorten growing seasons and affect crop yield in many parts of Africa. Furthermore, the agriculture sector in Africa is dominated by smallholder farmers with limited access to technology and the resources to adapt. Climate variability and change have been and continue to be the principal source of fluctuations in global food production across developing countries where production is highly rain-dependent. The agriculture sector is sensitive to climate variability, especially the inter-annual variability of precipitation, temperature patterns, and extreme weather events ( droughts and floods ). These climatic events are predicted to increase in the future and are expected to have significant consequences to the agriculture sector.

It has been a topic for discussion at some of the United Nations Climate Change Conferences (COP). Impacts A changing climate also results in economic burdens. The economies in Least Developed Countries have lost an average of 7% of their gross domestic product for the year 2010, mainly due to reduced labor productivity. Rising sea levels cost 1% of GDP to the least developed countries in 2010 – 4% in the Pacific – with 65 billion dollars annually lost from the world economy. Another example is the impact on fisheries: approximately 40 countries are acutely vulnerable to the impact of greenhouse gas emissions on fisheries. Developing countries with large fisheries sectors are particularly affected. During the Cancún COP16 in 2010, donor countries promised an annual $100 billion by 2020 through the Green Climate Fund for developing countries to adapt to climate change. However, concrete pledges by developed countries have not been forthcoming. Emmanuel Macron ( President of France) said at the 2017 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Bonn (COP 23): 'Climate change adds further injustice to an already unfair world'. Economic development and climate are inextricably linked, particularly around poverty, gender equality, and energy.

5 Ways Climate Change Affects People Living in Poverty 5 Ways Climate Change Affects People Living in Poverty by Jessinia Ruff | Jun 9, 2017 Climate change is currently at the forefront of many political and environmental debates in the West, but for many poorer regions, particularly in Africa and South Asia, the effects of climate change are a daily reality. Although the earth’s climate has been changing since its formation, temperatures have been rising rapidly since the industrial revolution. By burning fossil fuels, humans increase emissions (greenhouse gasses that are trapped in earth’s atmosphere) like carbon dioxide and methane. These emissions trap energy in the atmosphere and increase the temperature of the earth. Temperatures have risen about 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit in the last century. Climate change affects regions across the globe, however, people living in poverty are more affected despite the fact that the 50 least developed countries in the world contribute only 1 percent of greenhouse gas emissions. Climate change can bring about disastrous weather events, of which 99 percent of total fatalities and 90 percent of all economic losses occur in less developed countries. Because of their already vulnerable state, poor communities are particularly at risk of feeling the effects of climate change. Here are five ways climate change is impacting the poor. 1.

Adaptation Governments agreed to strengthen societies' ability to deal with the impacts of climate change; provide continued and enhanced international support for adaptation to developing countries. Loss and damage The agreement also recognises the importance of averting, minimising and addressing loss and damage associated with the adverse effects of climate change; acknowledges the need to cooperate and enhance the understanding, action and support in different areas such as early warning systems, emergency preparedness and risk insurance. Role of cities, regions and local authorities The agreement recognises the role of non-Party stakeholders in addressing climate change, including cities, other subnational authorities, civil society, the private sector and others. They are invited to scale up their efforts and support actions to reduce emissions; build resilience and decrease vulnerability to the adverse effects of climate change; uphold and promote regional and international cooperation. Support The EU and other developed countries will continue to support climate action to reduce emissions and build resilience to climate change impacts in developing countries. Other countries are encouraged to provide or continue to provide such support voluntarily. Developed countries intend to continue their existing collective goal to mobilise USD 100 billion per year by 2020 and extend this until 2025. A new and higher goal will be set for after this period.

Forestry The accord declares the “immediate establishment of a mechanism…to enable the mobilization of financial resources from developed countries” to support efforts to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation and to enhance forest sinks. Finance “Scaled up, new and additional, predictable and adequate funding” is to be provided to developing countries to support mitigation efforts (including forest-related), adaptation, technology development and transfer, and capacity-building. For the period 2010-2012, developed countries have a “collective commitment” to provide “new and additional resources…approaching USD 30 billion.” Developed countries also commit to a goal of jointly mobilizing $100 billion a year by 2020, “in the context of meaningful mitigation actions and transparency on implementation.” The long-term finance is to be a mix of public (bilateral and multilateral) and private resources. The accord calls for a new Copenhagen Green Climate Fund as one channel for delivering finance and a High Level Panel “to study the contribution of the potential sources of revenue” toward the long-term funding goal.

Paris Climate Agreement Explained: Climate Finance | NRDC facebook twitter Scroll to the top Expert Blog › Han Chen Paris Climate Agreement Explained: Climate Finance December 12, 2015 Han Chen In the Paris Agreement adopted on December 12, 2015, countries made clear that there will be climate finance to support the transition and creation of low carbon economies and to help communities to prepare for the worse impacts of climate change. Developed countries will continue to mobilize $100 billion per year from 2020 to 2025 to support low-carbon growth and climate resilience in developing countries, building on the commitment from the Copenhagen Accord. By 2025, countries will set a new collective quantified goal for climate finance for at least $100 billion per year. Developing countries are encouraged to provide climate finance on a voluntary basis - giving recognition to the broadening donor pool for international climate finance. Cycles for Review and Commitments The finance commitment for $100 billion in annual climate finance from 2020-2025 and timeline for future finance helps to ensure that we are continually ramping-up climate finance to assist the most vulnerable countries. Developed countries will provide information every two years on the amount of climate finance mobilized through public efforts, and developing countries are encouraged to provide these reports as well.

Between 2010 and 2012, the world's wealthy nations say they provided $35 billion to help poorer countries adjust to climate change, as promised at Copenhagen. (You can see a full breakdown of these pledges from the World Resources Institute here.) The vast majority of that aid — $27 billion — came from five countries: Germany, Japan, Norway, Britain, and the United States. And most of it went toward clean energy, efficiency, and other mitigation projects around the world. Only a small slice, about $5 billion, went toward helping poor countries prepare for the actual impacts of climate change, like droughts or heat waves. For instance, Norway gave Brazil $1 billion to help prevent deforestation. The United States gave the Congo Basin $15.7 million to preserve rain forest biodiversity. Japan gave Egypt a $338 million loan for wind power. You can see a partial list of projects in this map below from 2011 (click to enlarge): Critics have pointed out, however, that these climate pledges didn't always add up.

Conference of the Parties (COP), largely center around a 2009 commitment from developed countries to send $100 billion a year to the developing world annually to support initiatives to address climate change. A recent report from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) showed that $62 billion, from a combination of public and private funding, flowed in that direction in 2014, a $10 billion jump from the previous year. Developed countries have been announcing a series of commitments to help close that nearly $30 billion gap. The United States announced a $3 billion commitment earlier this year, Canada more than $2.5 billion and Japan $1.5 billion. Others have contributed billions more. When paired with private funding, that money goes a long way. “We have every expectation of strong and robust finance continuing from the U.S. and others to developing countries,” said U.S. Climate Envoy Todd Stern at a press conference. New research published this week showing that carbon dioxide emissions actually declined in 2014 even as the global economy grew. That may buoy climate negotiations, in part because it demonstrates that it is possible reduce greenhouse gas emissions without automatically dinging economic growth. But, even if the $100 billion figure is reached, questions remain over how it will be distributed.

Poor countries want financial assistance from the rich nations – which have, historically, been the most responsible for greenhouse gas emissions – to help them reduce their carbon output, invest in clean technology and adapt to the effects of climate change. At the last major climate summit, in Copenhagen in 2009, the developing world was promised financial flows of at least $100bn (£65bn) a year by 2020, but in many cases the money has been slow in coming. Laurent Fabius, the French foreign minister, who will preside over the Paris talks, said this aid would be the key issue. “The question of financing is, in fact, decisive for reaching an agreement in Paris,” he said. “The promise of Copenhagen must be kept, absolutely – it is the basis of trust, and for many countries it is the condition of reaching agreement. Therefore, it is a priority as president [ of the negotiations].” He said that the G7 meeting would be vital in sending a strong signal to developing countries ahead of the Paris talks. “What the richest countries of the G7 will say is very important in itself and is eagerly awaited by all who are in COP21 [ as the Paris climate conference is known]. “The G7 allows for real discussion.

Another critical area of dispute involves finance. In the 2009 Copenhagen accord, wealthy developed nations pledged to deliver $100 billion by the year 2020 “to address the needs of developing countries.” But it’s not clear when that $100 billion goal will be reached, or for that matter, what will happen after that. At the same time, it is growing apparent that some nations not traditionally classified with the developed countries  in the context of these negotiations are nonetheless still fairly wealthy on a per-capita basis. So one question is whether such countries might also be expected to give money for climate finance. “Many developed countries, not just the U.S., but the E.U., Australia, have said that if you’re an emerging developing economy and are in the position to give finance you should do so,” said Heather Coleman, who heads climate policy for OXFAM America. The continuing divides underscore the cacophony inherent when close to 200 countries try to agree on momentous changes including how they will get their energy, and how they will develop.

Another recent report from Oxfam estimates that global climate aid from developed countries amounted to between $7.6 billion and $16.3 billion in 2013. The report said it was impossible to get a precise estimate, thanks to 'murky accounting' — those figures, for instance, likely include existing loans that will have to be paid back. Overall, Oxfam concluded that 'most developed countries are now failing to demonstrate promised increases,' with the exception of Britain and Germany. That plateau in climate finance can also be seen in these new figures from the Overseas Development Institute's Climate Funds Update, which tracks money given specifically to international climate funds — another goal of earlier talks. As the chart on the right shows, the world's wealthiest nations have pledged $356 million to these funds in 2013, down from $1.21 billion at this point last year. (That said, nations often increase their pledges during international climate talks, so this number could go up during the ongoing U.N. climate negotiations.) The Oxfam report says that it's difficult to see how $100 billion per year will happen by the end of the decade.

United States withdrawal from the Paris Agreement On June 1, 2017, United States President Donald Trump announced that the U.S. would cease all participation in the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change mitigation. Trump stated that 'The Paris accord will undermine (the U.S.) economy,' and 'puts (the U.S.) at a permanent disadvantage.' During the presidential campaign, Trump had pledged to withdraw from the pact, saying a withdrawal would help American businesses and workers. Trump stated that the withdrawal would be in accordance with his America First policy. In accordance with Article 28 of the Paris Agreement, the earliest possible effective withdrawal date by the United States cannot be before November 4, 2020, four years after the Agreement came into effect in the United States and one day after the 2020 U.S. presidential election. The White House later clarified that the U.S. will abide by the four-year exit process. Until the withdrawal takes effect, the United States may be obligated to maintain its commitments under the Agreement, such as the requirement to continue reporting its emissions to the United Nations.

Trump also talked about contributions in the fight against terror made during the trip and work toward peace in the Middle East. Trump’s most prevalent message was in line with his “America First” directive — policies that look out for the American economy, American jobs, and America workers. The President spoke of following through on his commitments to the American people. “In order to fulfill my solemn duty to protect America and its citizens, the United States will withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord,” Trump declared. He then added that the Administration will however “begin negotiations to reenter either the Paris Accord or a really entirely new transaction on terms that are fair to the United States, its businesses, its workers, its people, its taxpayers.” “We will see if we can make a deal that’s fair. And if we can, that’s great. And if we can’t, that’s fine,” he added. Trump cited putting the “well being” of Americans first as a motivating factor behind his decision. He said, “This includes ending the implementation of the nationally determined contribution and, very importantly, the Green Climate Fund, which is costing the United States a vast fortune.”

The fact that the Paris deal hamstrings the United States, while empowering some of the world's top polluting countries, should dispel any doubt as to the real reason why foreign lobbyists wish to keep our magnificent country tied up and bound down by this agreement. It is to give their country an economic edge over the United States. That's not going to happen while I'm President. I'm sorry. My job as President is to do everything within my power to give America a level playing field. And to create the economic regulatory and tax structures that make America the most and tax structures that make most the most prosperous and productive country on Earth, and with the highest standard of living and the highest standard of environmental protection. Our tax bill is moving along in congress and I believe it's doing very well. I think a lot of people will be very pleasantly surprised. The Republicans are working very, very hard. We'd love to have support from the Democrats, but we may have to go it alone, but it's going very well. The Paris Agreement handicaps the United States' economy in order to win praise from the very foreign capitals and global activists that have long sought to gain wealth at our country's expense. They don't put America first. I do.

But Trump’s approach seems to embrace the idea that the United States will gain competitive advantage economically operating alone and with its own interests in mind, a highly transactional approach that the president underscored when he said he could try to make a better deal on climate than the Paris agreement, though there is no current forum in which to do so. Implicit in his statement about the Paris agreement was the assertion that his approach will produce more jobs, more economic wealth and a better life for the working men and women who have been harmed by past global agreements, whether on trade or the environment, and who were his core supporters in November. Or at least his decision to withdraw will prevent the further loss of jobs for those forgotten Americans, as he has described them. Early in his administration, Trump said he had been elected president of the United States, not president of the world. On Thursday, he returned to that theme, saying he was elected “to represent the citizens of Pittsburgh, not Paris.” (The mayor of Pittsburgh quickly said he opposed Trump’s decision on the climate agreement.) That kind of language alarms many internationalists, here and abroad. But it remains at the core of the president’s thinking, and he will continue to act on it.

President Trump announced Thursday afternoon that he is withdrawing the United States from the landmark Paris climate agreement, an extraordinary move that dismayed America’s allies and set back the global effort to address the warming planet. Trump’s decision set off alarms worldwide, drawing swift and sharp condemnation from foreign leaders as well as top environmentalists and corporate titans, who decried the U.S. exit from the Paris accord as an irresponsible abdication of American leadership in the face of irrefutable scientific evidence. Trump, who has labeled climate change a “hoax,” made good on a campaign promise to “cancel” the Paris agreement and Obama-era regulations that he said were decimating industries and killing jobs. The president cast his decision as a “reassertion of America’s sovereignty,” arguing that the climate pact as negotiated under President Barack Obama was grossly unfair to the U.S. workers he had vowed to protect with his populist “America First” platform. “I was elected to represent the citizens of Pittsburgh, not Paris,” Trump proclaimed in a forceful, lengthy and at times rambling speech from the Rose Garden of the White House. He added, “As of today, the United States will cease all implementation of the nonbinding Paris accord and the draconian financial and economic burdens the agreement imposes on our country.”

What is the Paris climate agreement and why did the US rejoin? - BBC News What is the Paris climate agreement and why did the US rejoin? By Helen Briggs Science correspondent, BBC News Published 22 April Share close Share page Copy link About sharing Related Topics COP26 The US has pledged to cut carbon emissions in half, compared with 2005 levels, by the end of this decade. The new target will be unveiled at a virtual summit of 40 global leaders. The announcement comes after President Joe Biden reversed predecessor Donald Trump's decision to withdraw the US from the Paris Agreement. What is the Paris Agreement? The Paris Agreement is a legally binding international treaty on climate change. Adopted by nearly 200 countries in the French capital on 12 December 2015, it came into force on 4 November 2016. The deal united all the world's nations - for the first time - in a single agreement on tackling global warming and cutting greenhouse-gas emissions. It went much further than the Kyoto Protocol of 1997. That agreement had set targets for cutting emissions for a handful of developed countries - but the US later pulled out and others failed to comply. A simple guide to climate change What are the main aims of the Paris deal?

Under terms of the Agreement, the United States would only need to wait a month after submitting their intent to rejoin before formally rejoining, though they would lose some of the privileges from the short time the country was out of the Agreement; they would not be able to participate in any key meetings while they are not a member, for example. President Biden signed an executive order to rejoin the Paris Agreement on January 20, 2021, his first day in office.

The Paris Agreement reaffirms the goal of limiting global temperature increase well below 2 degrees Celsius, while urging efforts to limit the increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius; establishes commitments by all parties to make nationally determined contributions and pursue domestic measures aimed at achieving the commitments; commits all countries to submit emissions inventories and report regularly on their emissions and progress made in implementing and achieving their nationally determined commitments; and commits all countries to submit new commitments every five years, with the expectation that the commitments will get more aggressive. In the context of the Paris Agreement, the United States agreed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 26% to 28% by 2025 from 2005 levels. The Paris Agreement formally entered into force November 4, 2016. The United States completed its withdrawal from the Paris Agreement on November 4, 2020. President Biden accepted the terms of the climate agreement on January 21, 2021, and the United States completed its reentry on February 19, 2021. On October 10, 2017, the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) issued a proposal to repeal the Clean Power Plan, which was intended to achieve an overall reduction in carbon dioxide emissions from existing fossil-fueled electric generating units of 32% below 2005 levels.

In Office: What You Need To Know Politics Paris climate agreement Fact Check President Joe Biden is upholding a campaign promise to make the climate a priority in his first days in office by signing Wednesday an executive order allowing the U.S. to rejoin the Paris Agreement to combat global warming. The order reverses President Donald Trump 's decision that went into effect last year to pull the U.S. out of the agreement. The Claim Representative Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) reacted to Biden's decision to rejoin the Paris Agreement in a Thursday tweet that reads in part: 'America shouldn't spend a penny on this unconstitutional treaty unless it is ratified by the U.S. Senate .'

Don’t let, “Take the trash out” turn into, “You always forget to do your chores because you’re lazy.” Critical self-talk mirrors messages that we absorb about ourselves in early childhood. So, change the conversation to overcome issues with self-esteem for teens. Esteem-Building Tips Besides rewriting the inner dialogue, help your teen take these steps to improve self-worth: Celebrate what they do well. Focus on effort instead of perfection. Reframe mistakes into learning opportunities. Pinpoint trigger thoughts that cause low self-esteem. Get adventurous and try new things. Own their decisions and opinions. Give back to others through volunteering. Make wise decisions. Support your teen’s growth and development by being generous with praise. This doesn’t mean telling your son or daughter that they’re smart or good-looking. It means diving into specific situations where they performed well (e.g. cleaning their room, getting a B+ on their math test.) Use this descriptive praise to celebrate good choices and hard work. Decision Making and Self-Esteem Decision making remains crucial to a teen’s success. Yet, developing decision-making skills is an often overlooked process. And it requires practice. So, find decision-making opportunities and guide your teen through them.

5 Ways Teen Therapy Can Help Build Self-Esteem Shyness can lead to a variety of problems for children, such as falling behind in school when they don’t dare talk to the teacher to ask questions. A painfully shy teenager can reap lasting benefits when they learn to overcome these problems. Building self-esteem depends much on teaching them to think more positively about themselves. The ways teen therapy achieves this includes: 1. Reducing negative thoughts, self-blame, and shame A good therapist allows your teen time to get to know themselves. They will help them identify their negative self-talk, the past experiences that led to these beliefs, and how to combat them. From there, your teen can learn tools to improve how they view themselves. 2 . Gaining empathy for themselves Improving their view of themselves includes developing self-compassion. The therapist can guide them to treat themselves with the same kindness they offer to others. Unlocking self-empathy gives your teen an opportunity to gain a better understanding of themselves and the issues they’re struggling with. 3. Building positive thought patterns and perspectives Aside from combating negative thoughts, a therapist will also teach your teen to change negative self-talk into positive affirmations about themselves.

MARCO_15_1949968677-3
Empowering your teen to make positive changes in their thought patterns will help them feel confident with and enjoy their own thoughts and feelings. 4. Developing effective social skills and behavioral patterns A therapist will encourage your teen to engage in activities that can help with peer interaction and boost confidence and competence. Practicing learned skills and behavioral patterns is imperative, not just in the supportive company of the therapist but also their parents. (Perhaps you can plan a group visit to a place like the Houston Teen Tech Camp or one of the many Escape Rooms to practice social skills.) 5. Finding a sense of accomplishment As the therapist will help your teen not only accept their weaknesses but also see their true strengths, they will gain a stronger sense of self and find a sense of accomplishment in what they can achieve. Receiving praise from others – the therapist and their parents – will let them enjoy those achievements. In effect, they learn to be proud of who they are. Some methods used in teen therapy Exposure Therapy – The teenager will gradually be confronted with situations they fear. First, the least frightening ones, then more and more difficult ones as they master each level. Exposure therapy includes social skill training, rehearsing those skills, and practicing them in real-life situations.

It is such a sensitive process that only the parents have the tools (such as patience and courage!) to do it. Here are some of the easiest and useful tips on increasing your teenager’s self confidence. 1. Show Respect: Do not forget – your teenager is not a child anymore and is a near-adult, and as such, deserves respect just like any other adult. When you address your teenager, always show respect. Do not let disdain or contempt show in your tone! Always treat their problems and fears with importance. Never shun off your teenager’s fears as a childhood worry. [ Read: Common Problems Of Adolescence ] 2. Praise Often: You must praise your teenager often. Be generous with your compliments. When you praise your teenager for something good they did, it boosts their confidence in heaps and bounds. It encourages them to do even better next time. Always express yourself and let them know how good and proud you feel to have them as your kid. 3 . Avoid Criticism: Try and avoid criticising as much as you can. Criticism can be detrimental for your teenager’s self confidence. If you disapprove or dislike something that involves your teen, take time to sit with them and talk it out.

For instance, solid self-esteem protects teens from the pitfalls of drugs, alcohol, unhealthy relationships, and dating abuse. Here are ideas on how to build self-esteem in your teens. Spend Time With Your Teen When you spend time with your teens, you are communicating that they are important, which goes a long way in developing self-esteem. Additionally, spending time together allows you to build a solid relationship. That foundation becomes extremely important as they face more and more challenges. Kids who know their parents love them unconditionally will fair much better when life gets tough than kids who feel like an afterthought in their parents' lives. Encourage Your Teen to Pursue Their Passions When teens have areas in their lives where they feel confident, this attitude will carry over into other areas of life, reducing the likelihood that they will be bullied. Any enjoyable activity your child excels in will build confidence. Help your teens draw on their strengths and find something they enjoy. Then, help her pursue these passions. Allow Your Teen to Make Mistakes Encourage your teens to take reasonable risks and try not to shelter them or rescue them from life's setbacks. Allow your teen to experience setbacks and disappointments without feeling a sense of failure.

How can we, as parents, coaches, advisors and mentors, help lessen that impact? And, most of all, how can we follow these same guidelines to set a good example for our kids? How Social Media Lowers Our Teens’ Self-Esteem: It causes them to live in a world of self promotion No matter what they post, they measure their self-worth on how many “likes” or “comments” the post gets. This turns the posting into an addiction and a determiner of their beauty, worth, popularity and validity. If a post doesn’t get a lot of likes or receives a negative comment they may assume they must be uncool, stupid or not good enough. How to prevent it: Encourage your teenager that their inner beauty, unique qualities and how they treat others are what more important. Help them realize that anyone that measures their worth by their social media profiles, is not a true friend. It makes them constantly compare themselves to others Social media provides a constant outlet for the trap of comparison which subsequently creates feelings of depression and low self-worth in many teens. Pay attention to statements that use “like” and “as” from your teen.

For example, “I’m not as skinny as”, “I wish I looked like” or “I’m not as good as”. How to prevent it: As adults, we need to help our teenagers face the challenges social media brings. If we allow our teenagers to use social media, then we need to parent more intently and deliberately. We need to focus on nurturing their self-esteem and showing them that their self-worth should be rooted in being a good person, working hard and helping others, not in the cuteness of their outfit or how many followers they have on Instagram. Since we can’t simply say “Keep your teen off social media until they are secure in their self-esteem”, encourage them to follow accounts that promote positive body image, lift others up and show good examples for your teen to follow. Some examples of these are: @aerie @kindcampaign @soulpancake @amypoehlersmartgirls @thegoodquote It inhibits their experiences Many teens will participate in experiences (or not participate) “for the Instagram”. If they think going to a new place in town or even spending some time outside will make for a good picture, they are more inclined to participate. How to prevent it: Show your teen by example that experiences don’t always need to be photographed.

Speak up for yourself when it’s called for, and go after what you want in your own life. Talk About What They See Online: Remind them that no one is sharing the boring parts of their lives on social media. Encourage them to talk to you if something they see online is upsetting or frightening. Introduce them to positive role models on social media, including people you might know and celebrities who volunteer and speak up for equality, confidence, and kindness. Set Internet Guidelines: By using trustworthy parental controls on your teen’s mobile device, you can limit their internet access and block certain sites and apps. It’s a simple step you can take to help your child spend more time in the “real world.” As the Child Development Institute says, “Parents, more than anyone else can promote their child’s self-esteem. It isn’t a particularly difficult thing to do. If fact, most parents do it without even realizing that their words and actions have a great impact on how their child or teenager feels about himself.” Hopefully, it’s enough to combat the effect social media can have on your child’s self-esteem. Sharing is caring!

But teens can also be negatively impacted by their own social media use. Social media use can also lead to cyberbullying, social anxiety, depression, and exposure to content that is not developmentally appropriate. How can we make sure our children are using social media in a positive way that strengthens their self-esteem and connections with peers, which are so crucial in this stage of development? Model the behavior we want to see in them: Avoid oversharing on social media. Ask our teens before we post about them Have designated times every day when we shut down our devices and fully and intentionally engage in face to face contact, so our teens are learning verbal and non-verbal cues that are so important in communication Giving teens our full attention when they talk to us and avoid glancing at our devices Set clear, firm boundaries right when you give an adolescent a phone: The phone must be charged somewhere other than in the teen’s room at night. The phone will be shut off an hour before bed for good sleep hygiene.

That was a good and kind thought, and I know that you would have done it if you could have.” A struggle “It is so hard when your best friend moves away. You spent so many hours playing games with him. You are going to miss him.” Distinguish between Criticism and Correction A review of the ‘history’ of the self-esteem movement described parents’ fear of criticizing their children and desire to protect them from making mistakes so they wouldn’t feel badly about themselves. But by ignoring the inevitable mistakes that children make, we do them a big disservice. We deprive them of the opportunity to deal with the mistakes in a way that actually helps them develop a positive and useful attitude toward making errors and which contributes to higher self-esteem. There is a less effective and more effective way to offer this feedback to children. Criticism Criticism can be harsh and negative and can damage children’s self-esteem. It only tells a child what he did wrong and does not tell a child what he can do instead, how he can correct his mistake. It can leave the child feeling badly about himself and helpless to change.

When they know they’re good at something, they’re less likely to be impacted by someone who says, “You’re not good at anything” because they know it’s a lie. Praise Their Good Work: Keep it sincere, but don’t hesitate to tell your teen when you see he or she is doing a great job. Also, take note of their good decision-making skills, and empower them to trust their own judgment when making decisions rather than always turning to a friend for a second opinion. Celebrate with them when they achieve a goal. Criticize Constructively: You may not know how much criticism your teens are facing online, so be careful with how you criticize. Take care to be constructive, and avoid demeaning or shaming your child. Pick your battles: in the end, maybe it doesn’t matter that he’s wearing the same shirt for the third day in a row. Model Positive Self-Talk and Confidence: Talk to yourself the way you want your children to talk to themselves. Don’t let them see you ridiculing your own body, “punishing” yourself by running extra miles because you had a piece of cake, comparing yourself to others, or beating yourself up for failing to meet a goal or accomplish a task.

The teen thinks “When my parents are saying I can’t do it – then I am sure I can’t. Why even try?” The motivation to try is lost. Always be very specific when you are giving negative feedback. And make sure your criticism is constructive. Say “Look – this small step in this sum has made the whole answer wrong. Let me explain the step to you again and then do 10 sums like this. That will ensure that you will never make this mistake again.” Do not be grumpy and complaining When teenagers don’t do well in academics – they typically start slipping in other areas of their lives as well. They start keeping their rooms untidy, they neglect their personal hygiene like taking bath and brushing etc. They dress untidily in crushed clothes and so on. This can make you more and more irritated and you may look at your child in disgust whenever she/he is around you and start pointing out everything that is wrong with your child at all times of the day. Do not do this. It can be extremely demotivating. This is the time to support your child and find out why your child is behaving like this with expert help – instead of constantly criticizing her/him. First help your teen improve in academics.

School-aged children are used to constructive feedback from teachers but may need guidance to handle feedback from parents or caregivers. Older kids probably won’t welcome constructive criticism, but can be taught ways to manage feedback from a variety of sources. Teens and young adults are still learning how to handle constructive criticism and apply it to life. Who should give constructive criticism to kids? Parents and caregivers are the first to provide constructive criticism to kids. Later, teachers and coaches will join the crowd. Criticism is easier to handle when it comes from someone who cares for the child. Kind words ensure the child knows the critique comes from a place of love. Starting early can help children learn to cope with feedback in a healthy way. Try not to criticize children in a way that makes them feel bad. Instead, help them see life’s natural consequences and give age-appropriate examples. Help little ones understand that when given in a caring way, constructive criticism is just a way for things to be better. It’s easy to implement simple examples in the home. As children grow, families and Au Pairs can show kids how constructive criticism can help them improve their performance in all sorts of activities. Sports coaches are well-practiced with constructive criticism for kids.

Even when it seems like it’s faster and easier for us to do things for them, we are taking away their ability to make a choice and learn from it. And the more healthy risks they can take and succeed at, will lead to them being more confident in their ability to tackle tougher risks in their future. 7 – Use Mistakes As a Learning Experience A POSITIVE learning experience. You gave them a choice, you let them take a risk… and they failed. It’s OK! For you and for them. Failing is a part of life. Every mistake made is a learning experience to do it differently the next time. As long as you are using their mistakes to positively encourage them. Tell them how proud you are that they took the risk. Explain to them its ok to fail sometimes. And discuss what they can do different the next time. When building self-esteem, don’t ever ever ever use their mistakes to yell at them or scold them or call them names. 8 – Don’t Use Harsh Criticism Children’s brains are made to do what they need to do to get attention. So if you are using harsh criticism or negative talk towards them, that’s what they will learn to respond to and what they will seek out.

Teenagers who tend to be introverted, however, tend to have more problems dealing with them than their peers. Model tough social situations and get them to suggest how to handle them. You’ll find that introverted teenagers are creative types. They will develop self-confidence, knowing that they thought of these solutions themselves. 5. Have conversations Introverts may not seem to have the skills to form social relationships at first glance. They may have better-developed ones than their peers. While they do not like to engage in small talk, they prefer to look a person in the eye and offer their honest opinions. They’re not avoidants but prefer more in-depth conversations. Help them to express themselves by having open, candid talks with them. 6. Respect their social preferences Introverts are quiet and dislike the limelight. You’ll find them interacting with one or two people instead of a large group. Give your introverted teen a chance to observe crowds before conversing with people. Your child may be more inclined to join them once he has a good idea of how they interact. Furthermore, don’t pressurise your quiet teens to make friends. Note that they prefer to do so on their terms and keep their friendship circles close-knit. Encourage them to make friends with other introverts. 7.

Many children learn vital skills through such organizations.

Not knowing how to read social cues is a common problem for many socially awkward teens. To overcome this issue, work through certain scenarios with them, such as using the proper volume in different settings like a library versus a gym or changing their tone of voice and facial expressions for different contexts, like when you’re upset versus when you’re excited. Other things to cover might include giving adequate personal space in social contexts, reading body language, and evaluating whether to approach a group (e.g., kids whispering and laughing might have negative intentions). Having trouble in this area can lead to teen overreacting or under reacting to different social encounters and misunderstanding others’ intentions. Start small by having your teen work on these skills one-on-one.

Encourage your teen to take up music, gardening, hiking, dancing, or some other hobby that they are interested in. Then, use these hobbies as outlets to connect them with others who share the same passions. Your teen has a better chance of putting their best foot forward in social interactions when they are doing something they love. If they are engaging in a passion, it will shine through and others will be able to look past their awkward social skills. If your teen is good at video games or online games, then have them share their progress online. This will help your teen to connect with other people who share their interests.

You have an influence on your child’s body image too. There’s a lot you can do to help your child develop a positive body image, including: talking and listening with your child focusing on your child as a whole person being a positive body image role model. Talking about bodies and body image with your child Your child needs your help to sort through and understand messages about her body. Sometimes you can help just by actively listening to how your child is feeling about the physical changes of puberty. This means really paying attention to your child’s concerns and showing that you care and are interested in what he’s saying. If your child is feeling confused, you can reassure him that changes are normal and mean he’s growing up. It’s also good to talk with your child about images on social and other media. Some images set unrealistic ideals for teenagers. But you can help by explaining how the images are often digitally manipulated so that people look more ‘beautiful’ than they really are. If your child isn’t talking or opening up to you, she might like to talk with another trusted adult. She could also: contact an anonymous service like Kids Helpline – phone 1800 551 800 use Kids Helpline web counselling or Kids Helpline email counselling services.

He might show this by: criticising his body – for example, he might say he’s ugly continually comparing his body with others not wanting to leave the house because of the way he looks not doing activities or trying new things because of the way he feels about his body obsessing about losing weight, or about specific parts of his body, like his face or legs spending lots of time looking in the mirror or taking photos and looking for changes or imperfections linking food with feelings of guilt, shame or blame. If you think your child is experiencing any of these signs, start by talking with her about your concerns. If things don’t change and you’re still worried, consider talking to your GP or another health professional. If your child wants to eat differently or do more exercise, that’s OK – but make sure it’s for healthy reasons, and the dieting and exercise don’t become extreme. Let your child know that healthy eating and physical activity aren’t just for weight loss – they’re vital for physical health, now and in the future. Effects of unhealthy teenage body image Unhealthy teenage body image is directly related to low self-esteem, which can lead to negative moods and mood swings.

Continued Teens, Body Image, and Self-Esteem: 5 Tips for Parents 1. Be a good role model. Your teen does notice. Your teen is closely watching your lifestyle, eating habits, and attitudes, even if they seem to cringe every time you speak. Pay attention to the example you are setting, and make changes if you don't like what you see. You can start an exercise program, eat healthier, or turn off the TV and get moving instead. Remember, your child will also model your attitudes about your body. So if you're constantly criticizing your hip size or thinning hair, they will learn to focus on their flaws instead of their good qualities. Watch the comments you make about other people’s bodies, and avoid stereotypes, prejudices, and words like ugly and fat. 2 . Be positive. Never make critical remarks about your teen's body. If they have a weight problem, you can be sure they're aware of it. Your comments will only make them feel more discouraged and could make the problem worse. Instead, compliment your teen. Tell them what a pretty smile they have, or how that shirt makes their eyes shine. When you give positive feedback, you are building a healthy body image.

Encourage other healthy habits, like good personal hygiene and posture, healthy sleep habits, and stress relief. When your teen is sitting on the couch, suggest you go out for a walk or run together or head to the gym. If you feel you need more help, talk to your teen's school counselor or their doctor and work together to come up with a nutrition and exercise plan. 3. Teach your teen about media. Help your daughter or son learn to be skeptical about what they see in magazines, on screen, and on the web. Make sure your teen understands the airbrushing, photo edits, stylists, personal trainers, cosmetic surgery, and other tricks that fuel the beauty industry and celebrity culture. 4. Put other qualities over looks. Support your teen’s talents and skills that have nothing to do with how they look -- like music, sports, arts, and volunteer activities. Show an interest in their passions and pursuits. Praise the good things you love about them, like how they can make you laugh, their focus on schoolwork, or the way they look out for their younger siblings. Focus on health over looks whenever you can. Continued 5. Make good health a family affair.

Factors that might harm a teenager's body image include: Natural or expected weight gain and other changes caused by puberty Peer pressure to look a certain way Social media and other media images that promote the ideal body as fit, thin or muscular and encourage users to aspire to unrealistic or unattainable body ideals Having a parent who's overly concerned about his or her own weight or his or her child's weight or appearance Seeing material in which a teen is seen as a thing for others' sexual use, rather than an independent, thinking person (sexual objectification) Consequences of a negative body image Teenagers who have negative thoughts about their bodies are at increased risk of: Low self-esteem Depression Nutrition and growth issues Eating disorders Having a body mass index of 30 or higher (obesity) In addition, some teenagers might try to control their weight by smoking, taking nutritional supplements to 'bulk up,' or change their appearance by buying beauty products or getting cosmetic surgery.

ANXIETY AND LOW SELF-ESTEEM IN TEENS LINKED TO SOCIAL MEDIA – AccessHealth ANXIETY AND LOW SELF-ESTEEM IN TEENS LINKED TO SOCIAL MEDIA AccessHealth > News > ANXIETY AND LOW SELF-ESTEEM IN TEENS LINKED TO SOCIAL MEDIA September 1, 2016 Online communities have become an essential part of our adolescents’ lives and could have a direct impact on their mental health. Today, our teens are exposed to thousands of indirect attacks on self-esteem via written messages, pictures, videos, and the like via social networking sites (SNSs). Social media provides distance and anonymity to individuals who like to utilize it as a means of communication with the sole intent to do harm. According to the article How Using Social Media Affects Teenagers | Child Mind Institute , Rachel Ehmke reports that “experts worry that the social media and text messages that have become so integral to teenage life are promoting anxiety and lowering self-esteem.” Cruel and short “punch” lines used to demean and humiliate are the aggressor’s weapon of choice to attack others’ identity, individuality, and other aspects of the victim’s personality.

Perpetrators are aware of the short time span they will be allowed in the vast cosmos of competitive social networking; therefore, they use pictures, shocking posts, and simple, short, and concise “punch” lines that will take a moment to read but will have a major impact on many unsuspecting SNS participants. A concise “punch” line will be enough to cause irreparable damage, such as depression, anxiety or stress and the issue pleads for Behavioral Health Care solutions that counteract the negative effect these attacks have on our adolescents’ emotional wellbeing, such as low self-esteem and anxiety issues. Unfortunately, our cyber-connected teens see social media as the best source of connection and belonging to a particular social group, clique, or interest and letting go of this new channel of communication is not seen as an option. Although social media channels provide our adolescents with greater social assets, this type of social interaction may not always provide the belonging and connection our adolescents are desperately seeking. Studies show that use of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and other social media channels may be related to adolescent low self-esteem and high anxiety symptoms.

Social media affects teens’ self-esteem, personal identity – The Register Social media affects teens’ self-esteem, personal identity Hayley Raney, Contributing Writer November 11, 2015 Almost all teens love social media such as, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Tumblr, Youtube, Vine, etc. What teens don’t see is how much of an impact it has on their self-esteem. In today’s social networking, teens are worried about how many “likes” they can get, how many followers they gain and how many retweets they have, even though none of it matters. “Social media creates an environment where disordered thoughts and behaviors really thrive,” The Dove Self-Esteem Project says. Frankly, it’s getting even worse considering the negative effects of social networking are already impacting the generations before us. Without a lot of “likes,” followers, or retweets, teens see themselves as “not good enough.” Teens are constantly exposed to seeing this “perfect image” of who they should be, all provided by social media. They feel if they can’t become that “perfect image,” then they’re not good enough for anyone or themselves.

This constant exposure to “perfection” from social media affects a teen’s self-identity, self-esteem and even may cause depression. Teens that want these so called causes can be pushed to become unsure of who they are and who they want to become. Social media can affect a teen’s self-esteem by changing their entire style such as clothes, music, and personality and even change what kind of friends they have. These conflicts that teens deal with throughout the social media world can create a massive amount of depression as teens struggle to be socially “accepted.” These effects of depression lead to teens having severe insecurities, which then concludes that social networking degrades teens. Social networking can even lead to addiction, which can highly affect a teenager’s health. It can cause teens to have anxiety, sleeping problems and not being able to function in the real world. However, social media doesn’t have the intentions or ruining lives. The social networking world does have some positive aspects. For example, some teens and young adults have become internet famous from social media outlets such as Vine and Youtube The teens that are internet famous try to create a positive self-image and explain to our generation that perfection doesn’t matter.

According to the most recent Pew Research Center report on the effect of social media on teenagers, 43 percent of teenagers say they feel pressure to only post content on social media that makes them look good to others. Furthermore, 26 percent of teens say these sites make them feel worse about their own life. Read “Teen Mental Health and the Theory of Social Comparison.” Health Hazard or Healthy Inspiration? Social media also provides forums in which teens can encourage each other in unhealthy and dangerous behaviors. Hence, teens with eating disorders or teens who self-harm can connect with others to talk about their self-destructive routines. In these online forums, obsessive calorie counting, fasting, or other exercising are accepted and encouraged. As a result, teens may learn ways to hide or increase the behavior, putting them at greater risk. In addition, the very act of using social media has unhealthy results. For one, social media use negatively affects sleep because the artificial blue light given off by smartphones activates arousing neurons in the brain. Hence, these chemicals disrupt the body’s ability to produce melatonin, a sleep-inducing hormone. However, a teen social network can also inspire teenagers to develop healthy habits.

Any other profiles should be considered fraudulent. Investment Scams These scammers ask you to invest money to earn higher returns without financial risk, then request you to bring more people in to do the same. They often need a constant flow of new people investing in order to make money. Ponzi and pyramid schemes are great examples of investment scams. For the US, if you come across one of these scams, contact the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Federal Trade Commission, or your state's securities regulator to get help. For the UK, contact the Financial Conduct Authority. Tips for avoiding investment scams: Be skeptical of websites or services promising high returns or unrealistic investment opportunities. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Only send cryptocurrency to trusted third parties. Search for publicly verifiable reviews or articles involving the recipient. Watch for grammatical errors in communications or on websites. Scammers often make grammar or spelling mistakes. Research the organization thoroughly. Check consumer-protection websites and make telephone calls and send emails to verify authenticity.

You can choose how much you want to lend and how many loans you want to offer on the Lending Club. How much can you earn? Of course, as with any type of investment, whether it’s real estate or stocks, peer-to-peer lending comes with a risk. Some people recommend spreading the money you lend out over a few different loans. So, for example, it would be better to have 100, $25 loans, than it would be to have one $2,500 loan.

Investment Fraud — FBI Investment Fraud Scams and Safety Protecting Your Kids On the Internet Common Scams and Crimes Sex Offender Registry Websites Investment Fraud Investment fraud involves the illegal sale or purported sale of financial instruments. The typical investment fraud schemes are characterized by offers of low- or no-risk investments, guaranteed returns, overly-consistent returns, complex strategies, or unregistered securities. Examples of investment fraud include advance fee fraud, Ponzi schemes, pyramid schemes, and market manipulation fraud. These schemes often seek to victimize affinity groups—such as groups with a common religion or ethnicity—to utilize the common interests to build trust to effectively operate the investment fraud against them. The perpetrators range from professional investment advisers to persons trusted and interacted with daily, such as a neighbor or sports coach. The fraudster’s ability to foster trust makes these schemes so successful. Investors should use scrutiny and gather as much information as possible before entering into any new investment opportunities. Visit the FBI's White-Collar Crime webpage for additional information. Tips for Avoiding Investment Fraud: Don’t judge a person or company by their website; flashy websites can be set up quickly. Don’t invest in anything you are not absolutely sure about. Do your homework on the investment and the company to ensure that they are legitimate.

Always ask for more information in writing and get a second opinion before changing your power of attorney, wills, trusts, or any of your personal financial information. Common Types of Elder Abuse The following are some of the most common types of elder financial exploitation and how to protect yourself or an elder you know. Scams Scams have distinguishing factors that you should be aware of: A 'Hook': something to attract you and cause you to pay less attention to the details. Manipulation: scammers manipulate people into trusting them. A Deadline: if a solicitation has a strict deadline that gives you little time to make a decision, it is likely a scam. Sweepstakes Scams Notifications that you've won a sweepstake are often scams. One way these notifications trick elders is by using a name which sounds like a government agency or official-sounding authority. If, as the 'winner' of a sweepstake, you are asked to pay taxes and fees by sending a check or wiring money, this is likely a scam. A sweepstake may ask for your banking information to direct deposit your 'winnings.' This is an attempt to steal your identity and access the money in your bank account, not deposit money. Protective Measure: Remember that legitimate sweepstakes do not ask for money upfront from winners!

Though related, investment Ponzi schemes shouldn’t be confused with so-called pyramid schemes involving bogus multi-level marketing business opportunities. In both cases, money from new participants often is used to pay those who joined early on. And eventually both fall apart as the operation grows to unsustainable levels. But the pyramid focuses on recruiting participants to sell a product, while the Ponzi concentrates on attracting new investors. Here's how to protect yourself: 1. Be Skeptical If someone tries to sell you on an investment that has huge and/or immediate returns for little or no risk, it could well involve some sort of fraud. For example, Bernie Madoff provided investors with consistent return of 1-1.5% per month for 10 years before everything fell apart. (For more, see: Avoiding Online Investment Scams.) Be extra-cautious if the returns are being generated by something you never heard of or in a way that's impossible to follow. 2 . Be Suspicious of Unsolicited Offers Someone contacting you unexpectedly, perhaps inviting you to an investment seminar, is often a red flag. Investment scams often target elderly people, or those close to or in retirement. For details, see Avoid The Top 5 Scams Affecting Senior Citizens . 3 .

HYIP operators will typically use social media, including Facebook, Twitter, or YouTube, to appeal to victims and create the illusion of social consensus surrounding the legitimacy of these programs. The SEC advises that there are several warning signs that investors can use to help avoid being victimized by high-yield investment program scams. These include excessive guaranteed returns, fictitious financial instruments, extreme secrecy, claims that the investments are an exclusive opportunity, and inordinate complexity surrounding the investments. Perpetrators of high-yield investment programs use secrecy and a lack of transaction transparency to hide the fact that there are no legitimate underlying investments. The best weapon against getting sucked into a high-yield investment program is to ask a lot of questions and use common sense. If an investment’s return sounds too good to be true, it probably is. 1  High-Yield Investment Program (HYIP) Example An example of an HYIP was ZeekRewards, run by Paul Burks and shut down by the SEC in August 2012. ZeekRewards offered investors the opportunity to share in the profits of a penny auction website, Zeekler, at returns of 125%. Investors were encouraged to let their returns compound and to increase their returns by recruiting new members.

It isn’t clear what regulators OneCoin (a non-US company) believes itself beholden to or why, but the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodities Futures Trading Commission were both cited in the e-mail as regulators with whom the company may need to register before reopening to US persons. What Do Scams Look Like? The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, of which I am a member, has identified the following indicators of common scams: The investment opportunity promises “guaranteed” returns. The opportunity is described as “once-in-a-lifetime,” or pressures you to buy immediately “before it is too late.” The deal sounds too good to be true. Compare any promised return with the returns on well-known stock indexes. The investment offer was unsolicited. You are unable to find any public information about the investment opportunity. Often, this is explained away as the investment being “by invitation only” and a “secret that is best kept, lest too many people get involved.” The opportunities or people touting them are located outside of the United States. This particular point gives the scam an exotic feel and includes the idea (real or implied) that profits can be squirreled away offshore and away from the taxing authorities.

Probably too late by now but should stop you from putting more in. No timeline for exit. Why buy in if you cannot get out? Even fixed deposits have a timeline where you can withdraw. There are also many recent cases near Brunei such as the JJ Poor-To-Rich clampdown in Malaysia where about 400,000 people were scammed! That’s nearly the whole of Brunei’s population for comparison! What can I do about Investment Scams? If, from the red flags, you believe an individual or company is not as legit as they seem, you should: Do your research. Check online if the company is really what they seem. Note that they might have created a website to make it more believable. Do not be pressured to join or invest. They will usually want you to take action almost immediately. Better to lose the opportunity rather than lose all your money. If you have been cheated, report the case to your nearest police station. You can also report to the Monetary Authority of Brunei Darussalam if you suspect a fraudulent investment product. 3. Social Media Scam Nowadays, social media is all the rage especially in Brunei which was found to have the highest social media usage in the ASEAN region!
