Social dimension, Impact of climate change and menace on the vulnerable groups

Abstract

An undeniable truth of life is change. from ushering in the industrial revolution to conquering outer space humanity has progressed a lot. Unfortunately, this progress is just one side of the coin. Our dramatic rise on the planet earth is not without problems. One such cost associated with rapid human activity is climate change. We have managed to alter climates, we live in more dramatical condition than the environment can keep up with. The average surface temperature across the globe increased by 0.6°C over the past century as per the Third Assessment of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC 2001). These numbers have merely gone up. As per the World Meteorological Organisation’s (WMO) State of Global Climate Report 2021, the past seven years have been the warmest on record. ² From 0.6°C, the global temperature has increased to 1.11°C in 2021 as per the WMO’s findings. One thing that can be said for certain is this alteration of climate and climate change is going to increase even more dramatically in the coming years.
