Q. Some people believe that climate affects the person’s way of life while others believe that climate has greater impact on the economy of a region. Discuss both view and give your opinion?

The contemporary era is an era of globalization. Around the world, people are experiencing both subtle and severe effects of climate change. Slowly changing weather conditions, rising sea levels and other extreme weather events are devastating evidence of both a rapidly changing climate and the negative impact on the region's economy.

To inaugurate with, the impacts of climate change affect every nation on every continent, but not in the same way. People already burdened with poverty and oppression often suffer the harshest consequences, while they have less ability to cope. Their struggle to earn money, support their families and build a stable home is getting harder every day as the climate crisis continues. The increasing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events such as hurricanes, wildfires and droughts threaten lives in these front-line communities, driving people from their homes and jeopardizing food sources and livelihoods. All of these effects increase the likelihood of more conflict, hunger and poverty. Yet, the people most at risk are persisting despite it, fighting to grow food, maximizing dwindling resources and facing recurring disasters.

On the other hand, global warming is negatively affecting the region's economy. Climate change is a direct cause of soil degradation, which limits the amount of carbon the earth is able to hold. Some studies show that today 400 million people live in areas affected by erosion, with the result that up to 30 percent of food is lost or wasted as a result. Meanwhile, climate change is limiting the availability and quality of drinking water and farming land. In many regions, crops that have flourished for centuries struggle to survive, making food security more precarious. Such impacts mainly fall on the poor and vulnerable. According to a new study, the global economy could lose ten percent of its total economic value by 2051 due to climate change. The study also warned that this figure could rise to eighteen percent of gross domestic product (GDP) by the middle of the century, if no action is taken.

In conclusion, Climate change is the defining crisis of our time, and it is happening even faster than we feared. But we are not powerless in the face of this global threat. As the endless costs of climate change reach irreversible heights, it is time for decisive collective action.
