Abstract :
The paper aims to discuss about the historic
trend of global warming and greenhouse gas emission
since the late 18th century due to widespread use of fossil
fuels and industrial processes. This paper provides an
overview of rise of greenhouse gases such as carbon
dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O),
hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), nitrogen trifluoride (NF3),
and other gases and their contribution in warming the
global temperature in the prior and later period of
industrial revolution. Highlighting the relationship
between greenhouse gas emission and human activities
that has resulted in significant challenges to the global
ecosystems that includes severe and frequent heatwaves,
altered precipitation patterns, melting of glaciers, rising
of sea level, along with the backward economies facing
disproportionate risks and challenges in water resources,
food scarcity due to draughts and high temperature as
well as health issues due to low productivity and slow
development. Hence, considering the problems faced by
the societies worldwide, it is essential to have cooperative
strategies with local, national and international agencies
to implement effective mitigation measures and
adaptation schemes so that the societies could foster
resilience, mitigate risks and work towards a sustainable
future.
