ABSTRACT
The earth’s average temperature is around 15 degrees Celsius. (Earth.Org, 2020) In recent years there have been natural fluctuations in the climate, but scientists say temperatures are now rising faster than many other times. This change is driven largely due to increased carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere and additional human activities. Climate-change consequences are projected to hinder economic development, make poverty reduction more complicated, additionally erode food security, create new poverty traps, and much more. This paper attempts at understanding climate change and its physical, psychological, and socio-economic impacts and efforts at doing a comparative analysis between developed, developing, and under-developed countries of the world, Sweden, India, and Niger, respectively. The analysis is done on the grounds of effective implementation of climate change policies in the countries and addresses the loopholes of these policies. There is also an examination and exploration of the two major subsidiaries of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change-The Kyoto Protocol, and the Paris Agreement within this manuscript. The paper then strives to give solutions that are specific to the respective country followed by giving general solutions at large. After evaluating the situations of different countries, the most important conclusion that can be made is that we need a bigger push to change everything about how the world is currently running. It is down to all of us, to change our ways and make conscious efforts with our everyday activities. All the policies and solutions are required to be executed properly and effectively for climate change evolution in a coordinated way.
