Ozone depletion and climate change, or Ozone hole global warming in more popular terms, are environmental challenges whose connections have been explored and which have been compared and contrasted, for example in terms of global regulation, in various studies and books. There is widespread scientific interest in better regulation of climate ...
Environmental issues in Myanmar. Environmental issues in Myanmar include air pollution, water pollution, deforestation, and issues relating to climate change. Myanmar is a country with a high percentage of forest covering and is said to have the most forest cover remaining in a Southeast Asia country. At the same time, it also has a rapid ...

A quick internet search for the causes of climate change will most likely bring you to images of smoke billowing from coal plants. Your search engine’s picture results point to the truth: The ...
Deforestation and climate change. Deforestation in the tropics – given as the annual average between 2010 and 2014 – was responsible for 2.6 billion tonnes of CO 2 per year. That was 6.5% of global CO 2 emissions. Deforestation is a primary contributor to climate change, [1] [2] and climate change affects the health of forests. [3]
Issues include deforestation, soil degradation, air pollution, water pollution, coastal erosion, garbage pollution, climate change and water scarcity (resulting in problems with access to safe water supply and sanitation). These issues result in environmental conflict and are connected to broader social struggles for democracy and sovereignty.
Pollution. The environmental effects of transport are significant because transport is a major user of energy, and burns most of the world's petroleum. This creates air pollution, including nitrous oxides and particulates, and is a significant contributor to global warming through emission of carbon dioxide. [2] [3] Within the transport sector ...
