Impact on Environment
The biosphere is affected by the effects of climate change, which
cause significant disruptions to biological processes and reshaping of
ecosystems. The loss of biodiversity is one of the most obvious effects
of climate change since species find it difficult to adapt to the
quickly changing climate conditions. Ecosystems, ranging from frozen
tundra to tropical rainforests, are experiencing significant change due
to variations in precipitation and temperature.
These alterations jeopardize not just the existence of individual
species but also the complex web of ecological relationships that keep
the life of Earth alive. For instance, there is a growing asymmetry in
the timing of seasonal events like migration and flowering, which
interferes with vital ecological functions like seed dispersal and
pollinations.

|
Green House Gas Emissions |
In 2019, Global Co2 emission reached at 36.2 billion
metric tons. |
|
Deforestation Rates |
Every Year, more than 10 million hectors of forest
areas are demoslishing for various uses. |
|
Transportation Sectors |
Near about 24% of global energy related emission was
recorded in 2019 by IEA(International Energy Agency). |
|
Industrial Activities |
Industrial process has the major role for the emission
of CO2, methane and nitrous oxide. |
Furthermore, because of their disproportionately large roles in
maintaining the stability of ecosystems, keystone species can have a
cascading influence on entire ecosystems. Coral reefs are particularly
vulnerable to the combined effects of ocean warming and acidification
because they sustain some of the highest concentrations of life on the
plan. Coral bleaching episodes are becoming more frequent and severe,
putting entire reef ecosystems in jeopardy and severely affecting marine
biodiversity in addition to the millions of people whose livelihood
depend on reefs.
