Abstract

Climate change is a global concern and has affected all nations. Daily observations, scientific analyses, projections and recommendations on climate change and its global impacts, are needed at all levels of human and environmental development. This is important because of the conviction that approximately 3.3 to 3.6 billion people are highly vulnerable to climate change. Climate change has reduced food security, affected water quality and soil security, increased sea and land temperature, caused human mortality, caused soil damage through various kinds of erosion, increased flooding, and hindered efforts to achieve sustainable development goals. Climate change affects the global health, the global population and the global economy. This paper provides a general overview of the ideas and knowledge on concept of global climate change and maintains that climate change adaptation is required because of the increasing catastrophic events, which have reduced the quality of human life in all aspects (environment, health, economy, biodiversity). It has been suggested that global climate change research and development can help support advanced adaptation/mitigation measures.
