CLIMATE CHANGE: A LITERATURE REVIEW
Keywords:
climate change, literature review, indicators, mitigation of, impactAbstract
Climate change today is considered as the greatest environmental dilemma that confronts the entire globe and therefore it deserves solution on global level. Sample of climate change researches are reviewed. Although many of these studies significantly
contributed in the fund of knowledge, solutions mitigating ill effects of the climatic shift have not yet been achieved generally. Researchers should shift focus from determining climate change indicators and its impacts to a more significant endeavor that will advocate mitigating measures and adaptation strategies. Technical knowledge should be maximized and resources should be utilized in implementing base programs that will help in mitigating the ill effects of climate change.
