Climate Change

Abstract

Climate change is one of the most severe issues the world is facing today, and it has placed humanity in a challenging position. In addition to causing irreversible harm to natural and human systems, climate change raises sea levels and temperatures, expands droughts, increases food insecurity, causes rain oscillations, and releases external contaminants into the environment. However, there are currently no effective mitigation mechanisms to cope with the implications of this global problem. In this context, this chapter aims to investigate and introduce the global climate change mitigation viewpoints. According to research, the only realistic and scientific strategy to mitigate this critical problem may be summarised as worldwide efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions as quickly as possible. It is recommended that annual meetings be organised to examine the current situation, anticipate the future, converge viewpoints, and encourage underdeveloped and emerging nations to cut greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to climate change. The efficient use of energy, clean and renewable fuels instead of fossil fuels, and carbon emissions reduction are critical in lowering a country's carbon emissions. Many governments aim to shift as much of this obligation as possible to other countries to reduce their burden. In exchange, make use of the prospects for economic and industrial growth that may be achieved via low-cost fossil fuels. Consequently, it is proposed that each nation's contribution to greenhouse gas emissions is accurately calculated and that duties be established following the nation's greenhouse gas emissions share.
