Climate change is now a reality. The fact has been supported by a plethora of literature published in the last decade. Some of the observable effects on the environment are already visible. The scientific community across the globe is confident that global temperature will continue to rise in the future, mainly due to the emission of greenhouse gases produced as a result of anthropogenic activities. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has predicted that increase in global mean temperature of less than 1– 3°C above 1990 levels will produce beneficial impacts in some regions and harmful ones in others, but ‘taken as a whole’, ‘the range of published evidence indicates that the net damage costs of climate change are likely to be significant and to increase over time’1,2.
