Abstract

This topic aims to establish a comprehensive framework to address the environment  as a result of climate change, along with achieving the United Nations goals for sustainable development. As well as working to proactively address the challenges of climate change, as the current increase in greenhouse gases of 1.1 degrees Celsius above the pre-industrial level has caused many natural disasters which in turn pose a major challenge to human and non-human living environments. It is expected that temperatures will continue to rise in the coming decades, reaching about 1.5 degrees Celsius, with more serious environmental, economic and social consequences.
