Controlling Global Warming Through Awareness-Based Epidemic Modelling
Abstract
Global warming presents a major environmental challenge due to persistent greenhouse gas emissions driven by human activities. Beyond technological interventions, human awareness plays a critical role in shaping sustainable behavior. This article develops an awareness-based epidemic model to investigate how information diffusion influences emission trajectories. A compartmental model linking awareness dynamics to emission reduction is introduced, analyzed, and simulated. Results demonstrate that rapid growth in awareness can reduce harmful emissions over time, suggesting that communication-driven strategies may support climate stabilization efforts.
