How to develop environmentally sustainable economic development to slow down the unfavorable warming of the Earth's climate?
Answers
Explanation:
Ignoring the issues of sustainable development has many possible consequences, such as rising sea levels, extreme droughts, erosion and loss of forests, increases in slum populations, species extinctions and collapsing fisheries.
Answer:
The consequences and costs of climate change on our world will define the 21st century. Even
if nations across the planet were to take immediate steps to curb carbon emissions—a warmer
climate is inevitable. As the recent report by the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change noted, human-created warming will persists for centuries to millennia and will
continue to cause further long-term changes in the climate system, such as sea level rise. As
these effects progress they will have serious impacts on human society. In the coming decades
climate change will increasingly threaten human security in many parts of the world,
disproportionately affecting the least developed countries. Climate change will pose
economic, social, and political predicaments that will challenge the successful implementation
of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
This is a stocktaking piece on the physical and social consequences of climate change, with a
specific focus on whether and how climate change via its effects on economic growth,
migration, and conflict challenges the implementation of Sustainable Development Goals. This
paper surveys the recent relevant literatures to identify the mechanism and contexts that give
generate the interconnection between climate-economy-migration-conflict and evaluate the
relative importance of climate as a hindrance to SDGs.
Figure A depicts how climate, the economy, migration, and conflict fit together. Consequently,
my analysis commences with the main impacts of global warming on natural systems. Section
2 discusses the interlinkages between climate change, and in particular natural disasters with
economic outcomes. Section 3 focuses on climate change and migration, while section four
looks at the climate-conflict nexus. The final section offers a set of policy recommendations
that derive from the analysis.
