How Does Climate Change Impact Life On Land ?

# data[].attributes.body
Climate change has made it harder for both people and wild animals to survive. Droughts that are more frequent and extreme, storms, heat waves, rising sea levels, melting glaciers, and warmer oceans can all directly injure animals, destroy the habitats they rely on for survival, and have a disastrous impact on people's way of life and communities. Land productivity on the earth will change as temperature rises alter the relative outputs of forestry and agriculture. In fact, according to scientists, more than a third of the animal and plant species on Earth will be extinct by 2050 and up to 70 percent by the end of the century if we continue on our current greenhouse gas production trajectory. Such a catastrophic loss would have a profound impact on ecosystems, irreversibly reduce biodiversity, and have a devastating impact on human societies all over the world.

Sustainable land management is essential for maintaining the integrity and vitality of natural resources for current and future generations as well as for ensuring long-term socioeconomic growth and prosperity. By assessing, controlling, and minimizing its impact and dependence on land and ecosystems, business can directly contribute to this SDG. Businesses can put plans in place to encourage responsible forest management, sustainable land use, and environmental stewardship. Businesses will need to put more effort into restoring degraded land if they want to ensure a future supply of natural resources and raw materials. Companies play a crucial role in preserving and restoring important ecosystems, promoting the sustainable use of land and forests, and maintaining consumer trust by stepping up research and development in innovation, investing in natural infrastructure, and implementing responsible sourcing policies. This along with the efforts that can be taken everyday to improve quality and quantity of life on land.

Sea-level rise and the resulting climate gentrification are expected to hit low-income, minority communities in Miami-Dade County the hardest, according to a new report . Climate gentrification is still an under-studied issue, with the general consensus that it will impact low-income communities near the coast. But the issue is expected to play out differently in Miami-Dade.
Development has long focused on coveted coastal areas, with Miami Beach and neighboring barrier island cities becoming the hub of high-end real estate and home to relatively more affluent residents. In the meantime, the Miami neighborhoods of Little Haiti, Liberty City, Overtown, Allapattah and Little Havana, which are not only inland but also on some of the highest ground in the county, historically are home to minority immigrant groups.

The Story of Electronics, which was published in November 2011, explores the high-tech revolution's collateral effects, including the 25 million tons of e-waste and counting, the poisoned workers, and the general public left footing the tab. Our devices start out in mines and factories, and many end up in horrifying backyard recycling shops in China, as host Annie Leonard shows viewers. The movie calls for a green "race to the top," in which product designers compete to create durable, toxic-free goods that are completely and simply recyclable.

As you watch the film and take deeper dive into how often people use and discard products without a second thought. This global pandemic has been created by the people who buy the newest and latest technology to keep up with the times. This demand for the latest allows technology companies to continue to create less efficient products instead of increasing the safety and durability that is needed is not wanted.

Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss. Almost 75 per cent of the world's poor are affected directly by land degrada- tion. Did you know that forests are home to more than 80 per cent of all terrestrial species of animals, plants and insects and of the 8,300 animal breeds known, 8 per cent are extinct and 22 per cent are at risk of extinction.
