ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
Climate change has become an undeniable fact. The impact of anthropological and natural activities degrading the environment has unequivocally resulted in global warming, which may have triggered a ticking clock toward the global apocalypse ending life on earth as we know it. Climate change and global warming have caused a threat not only to human lives but also to the lives of flora, fauna, and even micro-organisms.
The increasing human population and needs have caused a significant increase in industrialization, commodification, and commercialization, which has led to environmental issues such as deforestation, waste generation, increasing GHG and Non-GHG emissions, freshwater and ocean degradation, etc. These environmental issues are responsible for rising sea levels, changing temperatures, Arctic melting, food scarcity, and damage to living organisms.
FOCUS OF THE CONFERENCE
The conference focuses on providing a single platform for experts from the scientific community, economists, social thinkers, and the legal fraternity to consider the damage from climate change. This conference aims to tackle some of the threats of climate change. This conference motivates stakeholders to research by confronting the challenges through scientific innovation, carbon trading, carbon sequestration, disaster management, green building, freshwater and ocean conservation to ensure sustainable development.
