Climate Change: Impact, Challenges, and Recommendations

This report discusses the impact of climate change on health, environment, and infrastructure. It emphasizes the need for immediate action to mitigate the risks and provides recommendations for raising awareness and reducing the negative impact of human activities on climate.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report is based on climate change with an aim to increase awareness about the challenges it
brings to the health and survival of people and also to gain attention toward taking action in this
regard. This report contains the findings which has been extracted through the Synthesis report
published by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate change (IPCC). After that it contain a
discussion regarding the issues of climate change and at last it present recommendation about the
actions to be taken for mitigating the risk of climate change.

INTRODUCTION
Climate change is one of the major area of concern as it is growing rapidly and bringing
negative impact over the people and in environment. The IPCC has now become 95 percent
certain that the main reason behind this climate change is human who are creating global
warming. These in turn increasing the risk for ecosystem, people and affecting their survival too
with its negative impact (Descamps and et. al., 2017). The current report is conducted to get at
tension toward the negative consequences that this climate change is brining within the world
and its requirement to take action toward minimising the activities or changing them so that their
impact over climate can be minimised.
FINDINGS
As per the review of information from given case study of synthesis report it has been
found that human influence over climate change is growing rapidly that can be seen throughout
several continent and oceans which is creating global warming. This all is happening due to
increasing amount of greenhouse gases within atmosphere due to several human activities such
as combustion of fossil fuels, change in land use, removal of agriculture and forest, more
emission of greenhouse gases etc. This in turn also affecting the human beings as well by
affecting the food production, minimisation of water availability and increasing health related
issues. Other than this climate change is also increasing the cases of storms, flood, earthquake
which can damage the infrastructure such as house, roads and rail network (AR5 Synthesis
Report: Climate Change 2014. 2020). Hence, it is affecting the life of human being and making
their survival more difficult in some place with natural disasters. This make it very much
essential for the government to take corrective actions to deal with climate change. This is so
because the climate change is brining harmful effect to the public health and also affecting the
agricultural productivity and making the ecosystem most pollutant which have a direct impact
over the survival of people.
Hence, it is required to generate more awareness about the climate change so that when
the government take action toward improving climate condition then at that time it is quite easier
to get support from community as well. This is os because the improvement in climate can only
be made when each individual work toward it and changing their habit toward a better
environment (Chapra and et. al., 2017). For encouraging awareness regarding the climate change
4

information must be spread by highlighting the changes and its impact over the community with
the help of several talk programs. This can be done by organising the camps for educating people
within a particular region about the regular practices which is affecting the climate and what
negative consequences that changes in climate brining back to the society.
DISCUSSION
According to the information gathered and evaluated about the climate change it can be
said that the changes is climate is a natural process which happen due to sun radiations, earth
orbit around sun, volcanic eruption, interaction with ocean which remains also good for
environment. But with the advancement of technology and changing living style of people their
activity are affecting the climate badly this change can be seen in increasing greenhouse gas
emission in atmosphere due to several factories, deforestation, removal of agricultural land etc.
these all are contributing toward brining changes within the environment (Serdeczny and et. al.,
2017). The major consequences of these changes can be seen in increasing health issues among
people, damaging of infrastructure due to natural disasters, scarcity of food etc. This call for
strict actions to be taken toward minimising this climate change so that these negative
consequences can be reduced. For this it is essential to spread awareness about the major factor
or human related activities that are cause this impact on climate so that solution can be made to
minimise the impact of human activities over climate.
CONCLUSION
From the above-mentioned information, it can be summarised that climate change has
now become one of the major points of concern for the government and community as well. This
is so because it is affecting the living of people by having a direct influence over the
environment in which they are living and increasing the risk to their health and survivals. It
needs for the immediate actions to be taken for reducing this negative impact of human activities
over the climate. This help in reducing several issues which are being increasing due to change
within the climate change. But these actions toward reducing the negative impact of human
activities over climate the support from community is very essential and this can be achieved
only when the more and more people would be educated about the negative impact they are
imposing over the climate.

RECOMMENDATION
As the changes in climate are brining major consequences to environment which required
to adopt some mitigating strategies for reducing its negative impact. Following are certain
recommendations that can be avoided to minimise the impact of climate change,
 Around 1.4 million people throughout the world are rely over using tradition fuel such as
coal, wood for their energy need which creates pollution. This can be switch by
renewable energy such as wind or solar energy which is natural source of energy
(Climate Change Mitigation, 2020).
 The increasing transportation is also a major reason behind global warming due to
increasing carbon emission. So, more use of electric vehicle must be encouraged so that
pollution can be control by reducing the carbon emission.
 More policies should be made toward reducing the deforestation and food waste as these
both are also become a major agent in bringing changes in climate. So by doing so the
issues like scarcity of food and increasing green house gas in atmosphere can be
managed.
