Environmental and climate issues are hurting the whole world, especially the countries of the Asia-pacific where there are many underdeveloped and developing countries with low lands, natural calamities, poverty, diseases and so on. No doubt, if we do not take any necessary steps right now, it will lead to a disaster in no time.
The angle of my article would be to explore how the negative climate change in the region is making people’s lives miserable by increasing heat, pollution, natural calamities etc. Physical, psychological and sexual hostility toward women, ethnic minorities, disabled people and so on are increasing. The environment is getting contaminated and unworthy to live day by day. Various diseases are spreading all over the region among humans and animals as well as creating infection loops between them. Large icebergs located in the region are melting due to extreme heat and low lands are being flooded. Besides, the other natural calamities such as cyclones, tornados, earthquakes etc. are occurring frequently which are hampering the normal lives of people and causing poverty, hunger, pollution, diseases and so on. Bio-diversity is also affected in a bad way as a consequence.
It is high time to reduce the severity of the negative impacts of climate change in Asia-pacific by setting sustainable development goals nationally and also internationally. Both national and international communities have to work together to make people and organizations aware of their activities through seminars and field works for ensuring less methane, nitrogen, carbon dioxide and other harmful gas emissions. Carbon trading among countries can also be a great option to save the region.
Why should I be the one to write about the issue?
As an aware citizen of the Asia-pacific, I must make the world know about the current condition of our region and seek for their cooperation to fight environmental issues and climate change. Besides, my writing can make the local readers of the region aware too. Moreover, I tried to provide some solutions to this alarming condition.
