Climate change poses a multifaceted risk that adversely impacts every aspect of human existence, and poses danger to animals, forest reserves, the environment, and business operations.
It is devastating because these risks are interrelated, and point to the fact that challenges in one area can have multiple effects on human rights, social justice, and economic development among others.
An example is the spillage of industrial waste, which can affect air pollution, water pollution, food safety and security, etc.
The world is saddled with emerging global megatrend issues: human security, socially responsible stewardship, and environmental and climate change.
