THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PLANET IMPACTED BY CLIMATE CHANGE
Abstract
Climate change and rising temperatures have led to an increase in extreme weather and climate reports at regional, hemispheric and international scales, especially in terms of heat. The worrying increase in the number of global climate-related disasters, such as widespread fires in Australia in 2019-2020, those in Greece in 2021, volcanic eruptions in 2021, earthquakes, landslides and floods, the three main greenhouse gases greenhouse gases - carbon dioxide, methane and nitrogen oxides - which reached a record level in 2020 and 2021, despite the reduction of human activities due to the COVID-19 pandemic, draws attention to the effects that may influence the development of the planet. The paper aims to highlight how climate change affects sustainable development, adaptation and vulnerability of people, ecosystems, agriculture and cities in relation to environmental issues. The article presents economic impact considerations and possible ways to mitigate climate change.
