1. Increased extreme weather events:
Due to global warming, extreme weather events such as heat waves, heavy rains, droughts, floods, and typhoons are increasing.
This causes serious socioeconomic losses, including loss of life, property, and crop damage.
2. Rising sea level:
Global warming is causing sea levels to rise, causing problems such as coastal flooding, island sinking, and ecosystem destruction.
Countries, especially those located in low-lying areas, face serious threats.
3. Food and water shortages:
Climate change causes a food and water crisis by reducing crop production, intensifying drought, and water shortages.
This can lead to serious problems such as social unrest, refugee outbreaks, and war.
4. Reducing Biodiversity:
Climate change accelerates biodiversity reduction by causing ecosystem changes, habitat destruction, and species extinction.
This causes problems such as ecosystem imbalance, resource reduction, and deterioration of human health.
5. Deteriorating Human Health:
Climate change directly affects human health, including heat waves, heat stroke, flood-related diseases, and respiratory diseases.
In particular, vulnerable groups are exposed to more serious threats.
6. Deepening socioeconomic inequality:
Climate change has a more serious impact on developing countries, deepening socioeconomic inequality.
Developing countries lack the ability to respond to climate change, resulting in even greater damage.
7. Increasing importance of international cooperation:
International cooperation is essential because climate change is a global problem.
Countries should actively respond by setting carbon emission reduction targets, developing renewable energy, and developing strategies for adapting to climate change.
8. Individual Roles:
Individuals can also contribute to the response to climate change through energy conservation, eco-consumption, and participation in environmental movements.
Climate change is a serious threat to all of us. If we don't act right now, we can suffer irreversible damage. We must actively cooperate at the individual, national, and international levels to respond to climate change.
