CLIMATE CHANGE CONCERNS AND MITIGATION MEASURS

Environmental science

The hazards caused by climate change are almost as fatal as those caused by nuclear weapons. Scientific studies have shown that global warming of 1.1 degrees Celsius has resulted from anthropogenic activities. Thriving urbanization and change in the climate are both creating difficult risks, especially for cities which are poorly planned and have high levels of poor and unemployed, and lack of basic amenities. This paper examines the issue of climate change, its impact on the environment, questions that are usually posed by individuals on climate change, but most especially the actions that can be taken to mitigate its effects. The paper then emphasizes the need for people at all levels to adequately take every little action. Climate action – green buildings, reliable supplies of clean water and renewable energy, and sustainable transport systems that connect urban and rural areas can all lead to a more inclusive, fairer society.”
