CLIMATE CHANGE AND ITS EFFECTS ON FUTURE GENERATIONS
Keywords:
Climate change; global warming; carbon emissions; extreme weather events; environmental degradation; sustainability; future generations; biodiversity loss; food security; economic instability; sea level rise; climate refugees; renewable energy; mitigation strategies; climate justiceAbstract
This article provides a deep analysis of climate change and its long-term consequences on future generations, encompassing environmental, social, economic, and health aspects. As global temperatures continue to rise due to
greenhouse gas emissions, the planet faces increased sea levels, extreme weather events, biodiversity loss, food insecurity, and economic disruption. The article explores how these environmental shifts will affect children born today, their livelihoods,
mental and physical health, economic stability, and social structures. Drawing from scintific literature, climate reports, and international policies, the paper discusses
potential mitigation strategies and the role of global cooperation in ensuring a livable
future.
