Climate Change Effects on Agriculture and Economy

According to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the term Climate Change means a going on climatic change due to direct or indirect activities of humankind which is continuously altering the global atmosphere resulting in the variation in the climate observed over comparable time periods. The climate of our world is undergoing a dramatic change. Global warming is increasing rapidly and there is widespread consensus that the current trend is caused by increased emissions of various greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, sulphur hexafluoride, methane and nitrous oxide. Due to unobstructed growth of greenhouse gas emissions, the earth’s temperature has raised resulting in melting of glaciers, more precipitation, extreme weather events and changing pattern in seasons.
