INTRODUCTION
Environment refers to totality of living addition to non living factors addition to their
effects that influence human life. It is sum total of overall surroundings of surviving organism
such as natural forces and related lining things that provides situations for growth, development
along with damages and danger (Wang and et. al., 2020). Environmental impacts refers to any
kind of changes to environment, whether advantageous or adverse that are result of facility's
services, goods and practices. It is also defines as the effect which action of humans have on
environment. To understand about environmental impacts, global warming is considered
environmental problem. Global warming is defined to rising average temperature of climate of
Earth. This kind of environmental problem and its effects are collectively said to climatic
change. It affects society by impacting on multiple social, cultural, political and natural
resources.
The essay identifies, analyse as well as evaluates social, economic and political
consequences of particular environmental problem. It also analyse and evaluate various
dimensions related to the problem. Further, the essay includes the likely impacts on societies and
ways to effectively reduce them.

Global warming
Global warming is defined to long term heating of climate system of Earth which is
observed since pre industrial period. It is mainly because of human activities, majorly burning
fossil fuels that increases heat trapping level of greenhouse gas within atmosphere of Earth. The
increasing average temperature in climate system of Earth is driving changes within extreme
weather, season arrivals, pattern of rainfall and many more. It is equivalent of greenhouse that
have high efficiency reflective glass which is installed in wrong way (Tzachor, 2019).
Global warming is underway with consequences which are faced by Earth. It cause
possible adverse effects that are outputs of development, infrastructural projects, industries and
release of substances or elements in environment of globe. It is gauged by enhancement in
1

average global temperature because of which some parts or countries are getting colder while
some are becoming warmer. It is also estimated that it can reach high levels of irreversibility. As
climatic crisis are becoming more obvious, political systems are remaining resistant to
comprehensive actions and decisions (Dhar and et. al., 2020).
As per Cage (2020), The impacts of the environmental issue are increasingly visible in
terms of more violent storms, severe droughts etc. At same time, efforts to fight against climatic
changes are more accelerating from side of political dimensions. Distributional politics describes
more climate politics in today's era. It includes battles on subsidies for diverse energy types,
decision making for cap emission or tax carbons and many more. It shows positive consequences
of global warming on politics as political systems are working in coordination and making
decision decision together for protecting viability of countries or economy. The efforts of
political system for decarbonise success as well as expand beyond sector of energy that have
transformed the entire industry towards innovating themselves in the climate-neutral pathways.
However, changes in the political system and government regulation that is made for keeping
safe to the environment are not following then it can be a threat to the environment and affected
the business negatively. This can be a challenging point for all to manage and operate the
environment due to changes in government regulations, increasing pollution etc. (Molina-Besch,
Wikström and Williams, 2019) . The social dimension of environmental factors in global
warming refers to impacts on life and the work of people, families, and societies that needed to
be considered in increasing heat situation. In overall world, many country are survive who have
different lifestyles and cultures that needed to be considered in the environment. Due to heat and
increasing warm situations, it will not be possible for them to survive for the long term as there is
a need of many resources that can save from global warming. This underlines the idea of
integration of economies and societies that are driven by new technology, economic relations
between countries, and policies concerning national and international which have impacted on
changing environment. Countries need to see the economical condition of an economy then make
strategies or planning to make it strong environment. In a changing environment the needs,
wants, lifestyle, and income group of people and families are different which affected the
environment negatively and it can be challenging for operated businesses to understand the needs
of people then provide the products and services in the situation of high population and heat due
to climate change. Due to global warming, the economic dimension encompasses reducing in tax
2

rates, inflation rates and interest rates are impacting on environment positively as it can help to
fill the needs and wants of people who are residing and wants to live their life. In global
warming, developed countries are performing well by reducing the environmental consequences
that can help manage the countries and people's expectations properly. It has been examined that
changes in climate and increasing population can affect the economy of other sectors and
countries if the temperature of global has risen 2.8˚C from 4.5C that means countries need to
face the large economic losses due to changing climate where the cost of raw material, selling
activities, transportation, etc. will be increased. This situation reduces the buying power of
customers and people so economic factors may affect the environment negatively. In a situation
of warm, people are demanding and buying fewer products and affected the nations
consecutively (Economic environmental consequences, 2019). On the other side, if global
warming has been reduced then the cost of production, transportation, and export activities will
be increasing that also increases the buying habits of their customers in different countries and
impacted on environment positively. It can be understood by an example, in the present time all
the world is facing economic situations due to changes in the environment and pandemic
situation which has reduced the buying habits of families and people and also reduced the
employment rates. In global warming, the economic factor is playing a major role as it creates
the consequences of the environment by focusing on activities. Moreover, if climate is changed
then employment rates are also affected negatively as the organization will be started to
terminate the employees that reduce the employment rates. In addition to, flooding, drought and
heat would reduce the crop yields that affected by less availability of water and groundwater.
This brings changes in environmental conditions and creates many challenges (Aberilla, Gallego-
Schmid and Azapagic, 2019).
Another dimension in global warming is the social factor which is important to consider
and needed to maintain. This social factor is related to societies where people are having
different needs and demands regarding products and environmental changes. In an environment,
changes in health and safety, a social disorder in general, violence, and other issues related to
quality, the stability of the social connection, etc. are needed to consider that impacts on the
environment. This can be understood by example as changes in the environment could affect
social, cultural, and natural resources in the country (Ken and Sinha, 2020). If there are changes
in climate and environment then it can affect infrastructure, human health, transportation system,
3

food, and water supplies as resulting low in production and supply of products that are
demanding by humans. The changes in climate especially impacts on people who are living in
areas that are as defined vulnerable to coastal storms, drought, and sea level that affected due to
changes in the environment. If social culture, traditions, and needs of people are constantly in a
changing climate then an opportunity can happen that may help to control the situations.
Challenges could occur while changing in the environment as a group of people who belongs to
different society not feels comfortable and cannot attain their social goals. Globalization is made
of integration with social communities and managing the task properly which can help to
increase the environmental condition and maintaining profits for the benefit of societies. It has
been seen that people who are living in societies having the ability to cope up with changes
climate impacts such as the human who are living in poverty can be challenges to cope up with
changes because such people are having limited financial resources to cope up with heat,
increases the cost of food and relocate that affected the environment negatively. Old ages people
face the problems and many difficulties to cope up with climactic changes, low immunity system
of young ages and older ages people, older residents make up a large share of the population in
warmer areas of countries which can affect the health of such group. In another term, the changes
in climate will make it hard for tribes to access nutritious food, drinks, hygienic places, cultural
practices also created problems of quality that may increases risk for people concerning health
safety. In changing environment government of different sectors and areas needs to understand
the basic requirements of societies that belong to poverty should provide all basis that can reduce
the challenges and support to accept the changes (Jarmul, Liew, Haines and Scheelbeek, 2019).
On the other side, fewer changes in the environment and societies impacted the positive as it can
help to manage the tribes, people, an economy that can help to make feel-good people and
increases the performance. Therefore, from the above discussion, it can be defined that the
political, social, and economic consequences of global warming such as changes in climate,
drought, flood and disaster-affected the environment negatively and created many challenges for
societies. This is important to consider all aspects concerning the environment and make the
right decisions that can help to reduce the negative impacts (Hoyo-Montaño and et. al., 2019).
Likely impacts on societies of Australia
In Globalisation, climate changes in natural and it is important to change that can help to
meet with demand and fill the requirement. It has been seen that changes are always not
4

successful as they can impacts negatively on political, social, and economical dimensions. These
factors have impacted societies of Australia such as changes in government regulations, growth
of territory, etc. may affect the societies to face the challenges of a new regulation. Changes in
taste, preference, and lifestyle due to climate changes affected the societies negatively as all
people are not able to afford the higher cost. This showcase supercell storms, increasing
tornados, flooding, worsening drought, melting glaciers and rising the level of sea due to
increasing heat that impacted societies (Impacts of climate change on societies, 2020). Changes
in tax rates and inflation rates can limit the business in Australia to operate it effectively. Such
challenges can faces by societies and they not to meet with objectives due to dynamic
environment in global warming. Flood, disaster, heavy rain and rising of diseases can be create
challenges for societies as they increases the cost of production, manufacturing and selling
activities which may be hard to afford by communities. For sustaining in changing environment,
uses of new technology, providing safety to societies, filling their needs, increasing production
and proper utilisation of available resources can be considered as measures which can reduce the
negative impacts of changed climate. Moreover, strong strategy should be followed by
government which can help to manage the activities and environment (Ilyas and et. al., 2019).
CONCLUSION
From the above report it can be concluded that global warming is the serious
environmental situation in which climates are changes due to political, social and economical
changes. This is important for government of different sector to understand the global warming
and bring solid strategies that can help to reduce the negative impacts. Political changes means
increasing battles between two countries, changes in political regulation and tax rates which may
affected the environment. Social and economical changes are increases inflation, interest rates,
changes in lifestyle, income group etc. that impacted negatively on environment and also
increases cost of production.
