Abstract :CO2 levels in the atmosphere grow because of global greenhouse gas emissions, causing global temperatures to rise due to the greenhouse effect. Terrestrial temperatures, on the other hand, have risen quicker than those at sea. Due to a shift in the precipitation pattern, more weather extremes are forecast in the coming weeks. Climate change is projected to result in a drop in agricultural productivity. The beneficial effects of increasing CO2 on plants are most likely to be counterbalanced by higher temperatures and irregular precipitation. Climate change has resulted in a hotter, more humid climate, which has increased the risk of pest infestation. To avoid climate change, climate-resilient technology that is both technically sound and financially viable must be developed in an interdisciplinary manner.
