Climatic change around the world: A review

AbstractClimate change is one of the main problems of our day and puts significant stress to our society and to the environment. From changing weather patterns that endanger food production, to rising sea levels that raise the risk of catastrophic floods, the effects of climate change are global in scope and unparalleled in scale. Without significant action now, adjusting to these effects in the future will be more difficult and expensive. This review deals with the idea of Global Climate Change, the related terminology, causes, consequences, remedies and its possible health impact. It highlights the need to act quickly if we are to prevent an irreversible build-up of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and global warming at a potentially enormous cost to the economy and society globally. Therefore, tackling climate change needs a “unprecedented degree of collaboration, not only between nations, but also across various levels of Governments, private sector and people.
