https://doi.org/10.31861/mhpi2017.35-36.269-282Abstract
The article deals with modern approaches related to the definition of the global climate change causes. Noteworthy, there are two scientific approaches concerning this issue: some, who believe that global climate change was caused by anthropogenic factors and others, who believe that the cause of this phenomenoncaused by natural factors. It indicates the lack of consensus on the causes of climate change on the planet. The author’s focus also revolves around the existing manifestations of climate change and the global risks that aggravate this process. It has been determined that today, to prevent these risks, it is necessary to develop adaptation programs and mitigate the effects of global climate change on the global, national, local and corporate levels. The practical measures taken by the United Nations, other international organizations, governments, cities and corporations indicate the existence of political will and understanding of the inevitability of changes. To conclude, the author states that the problem of global climate change, being scientific to a great extend, has largely increased in becoming the subject of international political dialogue.
Keywords: Global climate change, global risks, adaptation, mitigation
