Summary / Abstract (Note) | Climate change has been described as the biggest global health threat of the 21st century. World population is being projected to reach 9.1 billion by 2050, with most of this growth in developing countries. Developed and developing world are busy in passing the buck of responsibility for protection of environment which is an irresponsible behaviour on the parts of governments across both the world. While the principal cause of climate change is high level of consumption in the developed countries, its impact will be greatest on people in the developing world, which most scientific research and organizations are forecasting. |
