Climate Change
The climate is at one and the same time a cause and a result of the disturbance of the ecosystems.
Mankind’s use and management of these natural resources – air, water, land, flora and fauna – has a great influence of the climate and the well-being of billions of people. According to whether these resources are considered to be for the common good or, in stark contrast, commodities that can be privatised and marketed, and according to whether solidarity and fairness are seen as a foundational or an option, the commitment to reverse climate change will have very different outcomes.
World has been alerted to Climate change by the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change).
IPCC is the scientific leading body for the assessment of climate change, established by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) to provide the world with a clear scientific view on the current state of climate change and its potential environmental and socio-economic consequences.
