Influence of climate change on balanced ecosystem, biodiversity and sustainable development: An overview
Journal Title: International Journal of Biological Innovations - Year 2021, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Earth's climate is always changing and the world is heating up. The increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere are causing the planet's climate system to retain more energy and therefore global warming. The main cause of global warming is anthropogenic. As a consequence, the dangers become big for our native plants, animals and humans as well. Nowadays, global warming and climate change are imparting an insurmountable challenge for the entire biota including humans. Natural ecosystems are one of our most precious resources, critical for sustaining life on the Earth. Healthy ecosystems and rich biodiversity are fundamental to life on our planet for sustainable development. Climate change is already influencing every region on Earth, in multiple ways. Some of such influences of climate change on the balanced ecosystem, biodiversity and sustainable development are discussed here.
