Climate Change and Globalization (PDF)

Pre-University Paper from the year 2020 in the subject Politics - Environmental Policy, grade: 2,0, , language: English, abstract: The term paper deals with the topic of climate change and globalization. The topic of climate change and globalization is so present at the moment because people are already feeling the effects of global warming in many parts of the world and the poorest people are particularly concerned by these effects.

Climate change is already affecting millions of people and is destroying their livelihoods. Global warming is heating up our planet and with climate change, extreme weather events such as floods and droughts will become more frequent and more severe and this is scaring our affluent generation, because we are worried about our future.

At the moment we are on the way to a four-degree world with drastic consequences for the next generations. If a so-called tipping point of the climate is exceeded, there is a risk that the icecaps will melt completely over the millennia, even if people then no longer emit greenhouse gases, it is therefore important to act quickly. For the Paris Climate Agreement to finally be implemented ambitiously by governments, we need an informed and active public. Thanks to Greta Thunberg's strong public appearances and the response to her "wake-up call", the issue of climate change and its consequences has become much more important and has become much more present in the public eye.
