The challenges our globe is facing

While sustainability is a multi-faceted concept that involves balancing the social, economic and environmental benefits of a society, climate change is one of the largest and most consequential challenges that the globe currently faces. It is a result of global warming, which is caused by the atmospheric greenhouse effect, where large amounts of greenhouse gases (GHG) are trapped in the atmosphere.

It puts many vulnerable citizens at risk, particularly those with respiratory diseases. It is the cause of adverse climate conditions, such as acid rain, flooding, or extreme heat. This affects many communities, severely, especially in underdeveloped nations. It threatens the resource security of nations and further increases geopolitical tensions.
