To Deal With Climate Crisis

Environmental problems have been wreaking havoc on humanity. Climate change and other allied problems, including air-pollution, have caused considerable damage to human societies. Earlier this year, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights has warned that human rights are being compromised due to climate change. Human rights must be considered sacrosanct in the twenty-first century. With change in environment, legal norms as human rights are increasingly being challenged. Most of the nations that are vulnerable to climate change must be given the assistance that is required. The new mechanism to deal with climate crisis must be devised, if politically feasible. Climate change as a problem must be considered as an environmental problem, wherein full responsibility is not evenly divided, or the full problem and its solutions, not taken care of. The environmental problems, as climate change and deforestation, should be adequately explained to the public. The lack of action on climate change can be understood as environmental problem, wherein the environment resource is left to be exploited without being taken care of. There are quite a few instances of environment-related problems which are not managed or resolved in time.

In the case of environment, the full responsibility must be given to developed or developing economies, and their share of emissions charged and priced fairly. The international community would be well-advised to make a climate crisis resource base in one of the international environmental institutions that gives loans to vulnerable groups and nations. The mitigation and adaption efforts must go hand in hand to resolve the climate crisis. Human rights must be protected by the nations which espouse values supporting rights. The environment is laden with many problems. They ought to be resolved through international cooperation and market mechanisms. Markets must work in favour of problems that have economic tendencies. Environment problems are also economic problems and should use market mechanisms as means to resolve them. The private sector has the added responsibility to work with all the stakeholders in order to provide best methods to resolve environmental problems. Market solutions should be used by developing economies to understand and mitigate environmental pollution. Nature has its own way to understand the life that it gives to all. Nature must be protected for the benefit of humanity. The humanity, on the other hand, has the moral obligation to protect their own interests as well of the nature. The life that nature provides should be considered morally worthwhile and human rights that come associated with it, must be protected under all political conditions. Environment must be protected, alongside rights given to humanity.
