2ENVIRONMENT AND DEVELOPMENT
Introduction:
Climate change is one of the issues germinated through the diabolical policy problem
around the world. Rapid growth of the industries and the capital boom in the world market has
leading to deterioration in the air pollution, which ultimately causing global warming (Knibbs
and Sly 2014). One of the most threatened groups of indigenous population lives in Australia
who is seemed to be suffering from the adverse effect of the climate change (Scarano and Ceotto
2015). Under this stringent condition of the aboriginals around the world, this report is aimed to
consider the effect of the air pollution and the global warming on the indigenous population of
the Australian population.
Aim of the research:
The research is aimed to assess the following:
The research is aimed to find whether health condition of the aboriginals is poorer than
the non indigenous population of the country
Magnitude of air pollution and global warming effect on the indigenous population
In addition to this, the report will envisage how air pollution has affected the basic
amenities like water availability; reach to health centre of the aboriginal population.
Significance of the assignment
According to the intergovernmental Panel on Climate change’s Third Assessment Report
(TAR) it has been found that the Australian aboriginals are one of the two most threatened
indigenous groups in the world that has been suffering heavily due to the adverse effect of the
climate change (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 2015). Now, the irony is that, there
have been plenty of researches on the environment and development issues in Australia during
last thirteen years; however most of them are concerned about the climate change laws of
