The Repercussions of Climate Change on the Environment and Food Security

Abstract

Climate change is a phenomenon that is witnessing an increasing escalation in its pace and impact, unlike anything else the world has witnessed since the Industrial Revolution. It has led to the most significant change in the atmosphere due to the rise of greenhouse gases, which form a thick layer surrounding the atmosphere, trapping heat, thus raising temperatures. The causes of climate change are divided into natural and human-caused causes, with human activity being the primary motive behind this sudden change. The emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere leads to a rise in temperature and catastrophic changes in weather and climate, leading to radical shifts in normal weather conditions that negatively impact the environment, natural systems, human health, and food security.
