Abstract

The study investigates the causes, nature, and the effects of the environmental problem in addition to the propensity for environmental deterioration from a multidisciplinary perspective. The various challenges related to climate change and its detrimental effects on human life and livelihood were the main emphases of this essay. The threat to the environment is not only the most significant problem the world is now facing, as has been previously established, but it is also a shared endeavor by the majority of people on the planet to protect human existence. Science has established that greenhouse gas emissions are drastically increasing the planet's vulnerability. If the threat is not mitigated, lives, livelihoods, and the entire ecosystem would suffer in ways that humans have never imagined. The crisis might lead to food and clean water shortages as well as threats to human life and health. Sea level rise may cause more than 10 times as many refugees in the future. Following the alteration of eco-systems, suffering has already begun intermittently in many regions of the planet. Human activity that is thoughtless is mostly to blame for global warming. This essay seeks to comprehend the environmental situation and its potential resolution through ongoing global climate change discussions. Finally, it may be claimed that human fragility after a climatic disaster commonly strikes at diverse times. Environmental management policies that are effective are urgently needed
