How does Population Growth impact Climate Change?
[2023-09-06 15:19:11]
In only 50 years, the world's population has more than doubled, more than 4 billion people. This requires more than 4 billion bodies that need to be fed, worn, and warm. All of these require a lot of energy. In addition to this consumption, 4 billion people are wasting large amounts of waste. Therefore, energy and waste demand is an important producer of greenhouse gas emissions that causes climate change. The impact of climate change is important on a global scale and the impact is beginning to occur to various degrees in various communities.
The rising ocean: As the temperature rises, the oceans begin to rise, eventually threatening the lowlands, the coastal population, and the ecosystem. Sea level rise also invades farmland, causing soil salinity and other environmental hazards, as well as causing penetration of freshwater resources that people rely on drinking water.
Ecosystem: Many flora and fauna live in areas of certain climatic conditions that make it possible to survive and prosper. Extreme weather patterns, rising temperatures, sea level rise begin to affect animals and plants, change their habitat and cause life-threatening stress and illness
Agriculture: In fact, some countries benefit from rising temperatures and changes in carbon dioxide concentration, but climate change affects many areas of crops, livestock and fisheries, especially due to the frequency and severity of droughts and floods It is expected to exert. Change - ultimately affecting food supply
Human Health: The effects of climate change, such as sea level rise, extreme weather patterns, and declining air quality, directly or indirectly by influencing the food you eat, drinking water, inhaling air, and the weather you experience It threatens our health. These effects will unduly apply to the developing countries and the poorest in all countries, exacerbate health inequality and exacerbate using appropriate food, clean water and other resources.
This list is not exhaustive, there are more examples of climate change impacts that can certainly be observed in real time in many places. These problems affect all of us and we need a lot of cooperation to alleviate these tasks. According to the World Wildlife Fund, "We have knowledge and skills to reduce the impact on the climate and reduce the pressure on humans and wildlife in the most vulnerable places in the world. It is only necessary to do. "
Climate change is one of the theme of the world's 7 billion student video contest in 2016 - 2017. For background on population and climate, please check background resources for competition.
• Climate change affects global issues such as poverty, economic development, population growth, sustainable development, resource management. The United Nations believes that the core of efforts to address climate change is the need to reduce emissions. In 2010, governments around the world have agreed that it is necessary to reduce emissions to keep the global temperature rise below 2 degrees Celsius 14. As natural resources decrease and emissions risk becomes evident, the government is strengthening cooperation. Global investment in 2014 will be $ 270 billion, an increase of 17% from $ 223 billion in 2013, thanks to a significant expansion of photovoltaic power generation equipment to develop renewable energy and record high investment in offshore wind power projects. did. 15

Another consequence of population growth is the danger of the natural environment. Many countries are trying to reduce human impact on climate change by reducing greenhouse gas carbon dioxide emissions. However, the possibility of agreeing to these provisions, if these treaties are not yet ratified by each country and many low-developed countries trying to improve the economic situation mean slow economic development It will be low. In addition, the role of
