Climate Change and Global Responsibility: An Urgent Call for Collective Action

Abstract

Climate change is one of the most pressing global challenges of our time. It refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns, primarily caused by human activities such as burning fossil fuels (coal, oil, and gas), deforestation, and industrial processes. These activities release large quantities of greenhouse gases (GHGs), such as carbon dioxide (CO₂) and methane (CH₄), into the atmosphere, trapping heat and causing the planet's temperature to rise. Since climate change is a global phenomenon with far-reaching consequences, it requires collective action and shared responsibility. Here we discuss how various stakeholders contribute to addressing climate change.
