International efforts to mitigate climate change

Abstract

Abstract: Today, humanity faces an unprecedented challenge, perhaps unimaginable just a few decades ago, which could have dire consequences if not addressed in time. It is no exaggeration to say that it could lead to the demise of humanity. The climate changes that planet Earth is witnessing are interacting dangerously, and their effects are general and not confined to a specific country, region or territory, but are rather global par excellence. Therefore, no international issue has received global consensus like the climate issue, because it affects the lives of every human being on Earth without exception. This was emphasized by the participants in the COP27 summit held in Egypt from November 6 to 18, 2022, where leaders, officials and experts from all countries of the world warned of catastrophic risks to humanity. Therefore, it requires everyone’s cooperation and concerted efforts, as well as measures and, of course, fateful decisions at the global level. This paper aims to identify the dangerous effects of climate change and the international efforts made to combat it.
