Climate Change: Environment, Health and Possible Solutions
Abstract
Background: Climate change, evidenced by rising global temperatures, has been a major environmental concern for decades. It impacts ecosystems, agriculture, economies, and social stability, primarily due to greenhouse gas emissions from industrial and urban growth. Discussion: Climate change reduces agricultural productivity, threatens biodiversity, increases displacement, and widens inequalities. Vulnerable communities face the greatest risks. However, mitigation efforts-such as emission controls, renewable energy, and climate-smart technologies are gaining momentum. Green climate bonds under the UN SDGs are supporting sustainable infrastructure, while environmental indices guide green economic development. Conclusion: Despite its widespread impacts, climate change can be addressed through integrated global action, sustainable finance, and innovation. A shift toward a green economy is essential for future resilience. Further Recommendations: Future efforts should prioritize equity, increase climate funding access, invest in local adaptation, and align development with sustainability goals for lasting impact.
