Impacts of climate change on human health and agriculture in recent years

Abstract

Climate change is one of the biggest threat to the human health and agriculture in recent years. The average global temperature is rising due to the greenhouse effect. The major contributor to the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide is increasing at an alarming rate which led to higher productivity of plant due to photosynthesis but increased temperature offsets this effect as it leads to increased crop respiration rate and evapotranspiration, higher pest infestation, a shift in weed flora, and reduced crop duration. Also climate change impacts the human health severely these days due to greenhouse gases and global warming. People living in all islands, coastal regions, mountainous and polar regions are more vulnerable to the impact of climate change. This paper results in the impacts and prevention methods towards human health and agriculture due to climate change in recent years.
