Global Climate Change

摘要：

　　Climate change is one of the major challenges of our time and adds considerable stress to our societies and to the environment.From shifting weather patterns that threaten food production,to rising sea levels that increase the risk of catastrophic flooding,the impacts of climate change are global in scope and unprecedented in scale.Without drastic action today,adapting to these impacts in the future will be more difficult and costly.This overview deals with the concept of Global Climate Change,the associated terms,causes,consequences,solutions and its potential health impact.It shows the need to act urgently if we are to avoid an irreversible build-up of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and global warming at a potentially huge cost to the economy and society worldwide.Therefore,addressing climate change requires an “unprecedented level of cooperation,not only between countries,but also between different levels of Governments,private sector and individuals.
