RENEWABLE AND NON-RENEWABLE RESOURCES NATURAL RESOURCE  Any biological, mineral, or aesthetic asset afforded by nature without human intervention that can be used for some form of benefit, whether material (economic) or immaterial  The practice of natural resource management considers the ways in which societies manage the supply of or access to the natural resources upon which they rely for their survival and development. 2 CLASSIFICA TION OF NATURAL RESOURCE S 3   Biotic Resources  Abiotic Resources CLASSIFICATION OF NATURAL RESOURCES BASED ON ORIGIN 4   Renewable Resources  Non-renewable Resources CLASSIFICATION OF NATURAL RESOURCES BASED ON AVAILABILITY 5 CLASSIFICATION OF NATURAL RESOURCES BASED ON DEVELOPMENT Reserved Potential Resources Resources Stock Resources Actual Resources 6 FOSSI L FUELS 7 FOSSIL FUELS  Fossil fuels are energy resources derived from the altered remains of living organisms that were buried by sediments and exposed to elevated pressures and temperatures for millions of years. 8 FOSSIL FUELS  Fossil fuels can be: solids, as in the case of coal which is derived primarily from land plants; liquids, such as oil or tar sands; or gas, such as methane. 9 FOSSIL FUELS  Fossil fuels are used to produce energy; in the home they are burned to produce heat, in large power stations they are used to produce electricity, and they are also used to power 10 engines.  11 IMPACT OF FOSSIL FUELS ON THE ENVIRONMEN T  Ocean acidification CLIMATE EXTERNALITI Extreme Weather ES Sea level rise 12  AIR WATER ENVIRONME POLLUTION POLLUTION NTAL EXTERNALITI ES PLASTIC OIL SPILLS POLLUTION 13  HEALTH EXTERNALI Health issues TIES 14  SUSTAINABLE 15 RESOURCE MANAGEMENT SUSTAINABLE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT  Sustainable resource management is the management of resources to meet the needs of current generations, without depleting resources to the point that the resource needs of future generations can’t adequately be met 16 SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES  The sustainable management of natural resources is the same principle, except it focusses specifically on natural resources, which can be differentiated from man made resources 17 WHY IS THE SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES IMPORTANT? Once some natural Natural resources are resources are depleted critical as the building past a certain point, blocks for many man they may be either very made resources, and are difficult to replenish, used for many critical take a very long time to everyday things we do replenish, or can’t be or use in society replenished at all 18  Measuring, tracking and recording resource supply levels Reducing the consumption of METHODS OF resources SUSTAINABLE Being more efficient when using RESOURCE resources MANAGEMEN T Reducing either the waste or loss of resources Recycling, recovering and reclaiming resources from products and items 19  Generating resources or augmenting the supply of resources where possible Switching from using non renewable resources to renewable resources METHODS OF SUSTAINABLE Reducing environmental pollution and RESOURCE degradation from human activity MANAGEMEN T Consider meta factors in use of resources across society and on Earth Consider how space exploration and space mining may play a role in resource management in the future 20
