Climate Change is a major challenge to mankind affecting
everyone and urgently requires a long-term global solution.
It will have impacts on agriculture, coastal areas, forests
and other ecosystems, species range and diversity, health,
and water resources. If not slowed down, it is going to
be the greatest market failure the world would have ever
seen. Climate Change may lead to unexpected migration trends,
disruption of distribution, workforce and global supply
chains.
High-level international agreements
not alone are going to stop the dangerous climate change;
it needs behavioral change by individual and communities,
especially with regards to their housing, transport and
food consumption preferences. One of the ways to fight climate
change is by getting better informed. Awareness of climate
change tends to increase people's willingness to do so.
People must start with themselves, check their homes and
habits, and then move further to persuade family, friends,
colleagues and others. The appropriate use of ICT can contribute
in addressing the challenge of climate change.
"Developing
sustainable habits is the best way an indiviudal can contribute
to combat climate change"
