Efforts to reduce or mitigate the catastrophic effects of climate change and adapt to it

Efforts to reduce or mitigate the catastrophic effects of climate change and adapt to it. The issue of climate change is considered a crucial crisis of our time, and its effects are unevenly weighted against the most vulnerable people in the world, namely refugees, displaced persons and stateless persons, who are in dire need of protection. In light of rapid global warming, extreme weather conditions have become. Heavy rains, droughts, heat waves, and tropical storms) are more difficult to predict, more intense and frequent, and increase the risk of more rapid and slow-onset hazards, including floods, landslides, and erosion. The sea leads to increased coastal flooding, soil salinization, and the risk of permanent flooding in low-lying areas. It was stated in the 2010 Development Report issued by the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (Action is now necessary, otherwise the possible options will disappear and costs will increase with the world’s approach to development methods that are high in carbon gas emissions and the resulting warming, which cannot be stopped or reversed to a large extent. Climate change is already jeopardizing efforts to improve living standards and meet development goals, and high-income countries must take bold action to reduce gas emissions, which would free up some pollution space for developing countries, but most importantly stimulate innovation and The demand for new technologies and assistance to developing countries in financing and the technologies necessary to address the growing challenges to the development process and assisting them in adapting to climate change and raising the standard of living. The number of people in need of humanitarian assistance due to the climate crisis today has reached an unprecedented level and given that more than (51.6) million people have been directly affected by floods, droughts or storms, it is extremely important for the humanitarian sector to respond and propose urgent solutions to this problem. dangerous that threatens the whole world. And based on the awareness of governments and organizations around the world about the phenomenon of climate change and the resulting disasters that may claim millions of lives, recent years have witnessed an unparalleled interest in the issue of adaptation to climate change, partly due to the growing awareness of the important effects of climate change on the poorest world population

Forest fires and climate change Will climate change cause the Amazon rainforest to turn into a savannah?  The Amazon rainforest is well humid, but researchers around the world are increasingly asking how long this will be true.  About three decades ago, alarming research began to suggest that the cumulative effects of both deforestation and climate change could cause significant changes in the South American forest, with the forest expected to become drier and more savanna-like than Africa. Instead of lush, wet and dense landscapes. For nearly two centuries, the Amazon region has acted as a natural buffer protecting our world by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen needed for life, as these forests absorb up to two billion tons of greenhouse emissions annually, but during the past few decades unfortunately, The clearing of trees from the Amazon for the purpose of growing soybeans for livestock or animal pastures has exacerbated the drought in the region, with studies already c

Us and climate change Climate change , is an inescapable reality In the spring of 1933, the new President of the United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, was facing a stifling environmental and economic crisis, as the Ohio and Mississippi River basins were completely submerged,and more than a,  .quarter of Americans were out of work.  Roosevelt's response to these clashing forces, plaguing the United States, was to create a Civilian Protection Corps, that would put young men (and men only), to work in soil conservation, building streets and roads, and fighting fires.  The establishment of this civil legion, we are killing two birds with one stone,” where he meant here the first bird, is to protect the environment, and combat the catastrophic effects of climate change (global warming), and the second is to employ Americans and eliminate unemployment.   The American landscape today, is very similar to that bequeathed, by Roosevelt, as lockdowns imposed to stem the spread of COVID-1
