Abstract

Climate change is seen as one of the greatest environmental challenges that can alter irreversibly the functioning of the earth’s and could produce series of devastating effects on environmental sustainability. This paper examines the concept of the environment and conservation in relation to sustainability. Causes of climate change such as the green house gases, aerosol and land use method were discussed. Some projected impact of climate change on the Earth’s environmental stability such as disruption of temperature distribution, precipitation, evapo-transpiration, clouds, air-currents and consequential shifts in the vegetation belts; melting of polar ice-caps, rise in sea level that could adversely affect low-lying areas were mentioned. Adaptation measures to the impacts of climate change were equally discussed.
