Statement of the Problem: Climate change impact reveals how man has destroyed earth through burning of fossil fuel and
depletion of natural resources? These activities may have worsened and altered the ecological biosphere by causing changes in
all the climate entities. This extreme phenomenon called climate change has a negative impact on health. The aim of this paper
is to encourage global and national proactive policies and strategic approaches towards tackling climate change.
Methodology: This study involved screening of articles that primarily discussed climate change and its consequences. Articles
used for this research came from scientific search engines, research journals, Newspapers, TV reporting, Textbooks and
international agencies' reports on climate change.
Findings: This article identified the causes of climate change and its consequences to mankind. It equally noted the evolving
human attitude towards other species and to follow humans manifesting in various forms as extreme violent conflicts, negative
laws that hampers the effort to mitigate its impact, as they compete for the depleting natural resources. Further, juxtaposing
these thoughts with what should be our urgent action plan to mitigate or manage possible consequences of climate change
effects. Though the concept of using technology through geo-engineering system to create a climatic condition conducive for
human existence seems promising for future but promoting healthy lifestyles and public awareness to mitigating the climate
change effect still remain a realistic approach in the interim while we encourage innovative energy efficient and renewable
technology.
Conclusion&Significance:This paper is also intended to contribute to the existing knowledge on climate change while creating
awareness on the need to regulate human activities to prevent the likely extinction of life form on earth while providing a
collaborative ideas or solutions for developing nations specially to attain sustainable ecological development through adaption
and mitigation.
