THE POLITICAL SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL DIMENSIONS OF CLIMATE CHANGE

Climate change impacts the life of every person. However, there is little comprehensive understanding of the direct and indirect effects of climate change on agriculture. Because our food, feed, fibre and fruit are derived from agricultural systems, understanding the effects of changing temperature, precipitation, carbondioxide on plant growth and development is critical. Solar radiation and ozone are changing as part of the climate complex and will affect plant Growth and development understanding the dynamics of plant growth and development with climate will help ensure an adequate agriculture system to meet human needs as the population increases. Climate change first emerged as a political issue in the 1970s. Efforts to mitigate climate change have been prominent on the international politics agenda since the 1990s and are also increasingly addressed at national and local level. As the climate continues to change, millions of poor people face increasing the challenges in terms of extreme events health effects food water and livelihood security migration and forced displacement, loss of cultural identity and other related risks. The issue of climate change is not merely an environmental issue but it involves many other issues in a cascading fashion. Indeed it is a multi dimensional global issue which requires a collective, coordinated and honest action to avert change in earth’s climate.
