There are two three-pronged sets of objectives in climate change and sustainability. On the one hand, the dimensions of the economy, society and the environment must be harmonized, and on the other hand, there are the possible measures (adaptation, mitigation, climate consciousness). Adaptation ...
In coming years, people will be affected across the world even more irrespective of their contribution to the cause of global warming and climate change. The very fabric of our society and the goal of social work will be impacted just as well. Climate change is not just a scientific issue,...
Not only is it a serious threat to the planet and to people, climate change is also threatening the global economy. This problem needs public-private sector collaboration to change the way we produce goods to other methods that guarantee and drive the development of sustainable economic growth. ...
Despite such direct influences, climate change will also have a great impact on society. For example, it may influence human health, infrastructure, and transportation. In addition to this, it may also cause some challenges on the supplies of power, food, and water. Due to these challenges, ...
Assessments of the aggregate impacts of climate change on the global economy are widely varying and diverge depending on the method employed. It is essential to understand the mechanisms behind the differing estimates and identify a robust range. Only then could these estimates meaningfully inform and...
As biodiversity underlies all goods and services provided by ecosystems that are crucial for human survival and wellbeing, this paper presents potential effects of climate change on biodiversity, its plausible impacts on human society as well as the setting in addressing a global crisis. Species ...
This review examines the current literature on the effects of future emissions and climate change on particulate matter (PM) and O3 air quality and on the consequent health impacts, with a focus on Europe. There is considerable literature on the effects
The programme has focused my attention on projecting my voice as an environmental scientist. In 2015, I became a councillor of the Australian Coral Reef Society (ACRS), the world's oldest society for protecting Australia's coral reefs, which has a track record of calling for change. That ...
Another point of contention is the potential impacts of climate change on the economy and society. While some argue that the costs of transitioning to cleaner energy sources and reducing greenhouse gas emissions would be too high, others point out that the costs of inaction could be even greater...
