Climate Change & Environmental Science

Effective adaption

These variations in the environment are due to natural causes, and do not contradict our understanding that the long-term warming is primarily due to human-induced changes in the atmospheric levels of CO2 and other greenhouse gases effect. Emerging economy nations are actively seeking to identify opportunities and related financial, technical, and policy requirements to move toward a low carbon growth path. Extreme climate events such as drought, flood, tsunami and stormy rainfall are expected to leave an impact on society. They are also expected to generate widespread response to adapt and mitigate the sufferings associated with these extreme effects. Societies and cultural responses to prolonged drought include population dislocation, cultural separation, habitation abandonment, and societal collapse.
