Thesis: Climate change is one of the significant threats to the whole world that needs a practical and committed solution. Climate change is a global problem thus, it needs equal contributions from every country, but there few barriers that are restricts effective dealing with climate change. Few restrictions include different organizational cultures, inadequate funds, lack of commitment of countries or organizations, and lack of effective leadership and decision-making forces.

· Introduction

· Climate change is defined as a change in global climate patterns because of natural causes and human activities, for example, rising sea levels, changing weather patterns and spans, etc.

· Climate change is apparent from the late 20th century that is mainly caused because of the increased production level of atmospheric carbon dioxide because of the burning of fossil fuels.

· Climate change is a significant problem that needs to be dealt with as early as possible because its increasingly changing attributes are negatively affecting human health and their environment.

· Policymakers need to focus on the mitigation and adaptation of climate change policies to bring an instant solution.

· Body

· Climate change is a global problem.

· Climate change is a global problem because every country across the globe is equally contributing to changing weather conditions by producing pollution and carbon dioxide.

· It is a global problem thus needs a global solution. Countries across the world need to be serious and show a positive attitude towards making productive decisions for sustainable development that no more leads to depletion of the natural environment.

· Effective leadership is required for effective decision-making.

· The world needs a direction to start working. The selection of a leader power is necessary to impose a solution for negatively affecting climate change.

· Instead of blaming each other, world countries should collectively decide to put efforts that ensure sustainable development and avoid internal conflicts.

· Focus on environment protection strategies.

· Countries should focus on environment protection strategies, like effective enforcement of existing policies and by restricting practices of consumers and citizens to use resources wisely. Countries also introduce new policies and strict enforcement for better environmental protection.

· Protection strategies could include practices of recycling, use of less energy-consuming products and sources as alternatives.

· Needs ethical recognition and adaptation of climate change.

· Instead of considering it an imposition or a duty, everyone should take it as their responsibility to protect their environment and avoid negative acts that lead to an adverse change in the climate.

· It is an ethical and moral responsibility of humans to protect their environment from any harm.

· Mobilize households to make changes in their daily activities.

· Households are one of the barriers to addressing climate change that needs to be treated for better changes. Everyday life activities impact climate change because these activities do not have an active locus of control.

· Human activities contribute half into the global climate change, thus this half would be managed by household mobilization and by bringing change in daily activities.

· Conclusion

· Climate change is a severe global problem that needs an instant solution.

· Human activities and natural disasters are equally responsible for climate change.

· Every country across the globe is equally responsible for global climate change. Thus, they need to contribute equally to bringing an effective solution.

· Global climate change can be managed by changing daily activities, restrict enforcing existing policies, and by introducing new policies that better protect the environment and ensure sustainable development.
