About the Article
Climate change represents a multidimensional challenge with profound environmental, economic, and social consequences. Rising global temperatures, intensifying extreme events, and biodiversity loss threaten both human systems and natural ecosystems. The burdens are unevenly distributed, with developing countries, low-income economies, and Small Island Developing States disproportionately exposed. This article analyzes the scientific evidence, regional vulnerabilities, and socio-economic impacts of climate change. It underscores the urgent need for equitable adaptation and mitigation strategies, facilitated by non-profits, policymakers, and community leaders. By linking global climate science with case studies from Africa, Asia, and island nations, the article advances both academic understanding and practical responses at the intersection of climate and development.
