IMPACT ASSESSMENT AND MITIGATION OF SOURCES RESPONSIBLE FOR CLIMATE CHANGES

Environmental Biology

This article aims to assess the impact of climate changes on biodiversity in tropical regions. The changing rainfall pattern, weather disturbances and their impact on ecosystem are examined. The study further includes assessment of major threat due to climate change from genes to species including community, agro-ecosystem to biome level. The potentiality of working as well as proposed models to mitigate the impact of changing climate and global temperature are discussed. The major challenges due to climate changes on biodiversity, the projected data’s, management strategies and outcomes are also highlighted. The review finally concludes that there should be a national agenda to combat this global crisis by reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions along with analyzing carbon accounting through forest resources, implementation of acts and regulation. Moreover there should be a “common will” to cut short the GHG emissions that directly or indirectly affects all the components of the ecosystem of any region.
