Global Climate Change
Climate change has become an issue of concern globally with nations depicting concern
by attempting to find ways of solving the problems inherent in it. It is a phenomenon that seems
inevitable and one that necessitates appropriate action to save the world and the lives that rely on

it. The scale at which climate change is happening and the consequences associated with the
same make this an issue of attention from all corners of the world with collaboration among
nations being at the core of mitigating the activities involved in creating this problem. Human
activities, such as deforestation, green-gas emissions, pollution, and desertification have been
blamed for the fast pace of climate change though there are also natural causes. Climate change
becomes a societal problem as it affects all living things on the globe, particularly due to changes
in global temperatures that result in ice melting, the rise in sea level, migration of some
creatures, and decline in some animal and plant species. Climate change has also been cited as a
threat to the attainment of Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), and for this reason,
agroforestry and education on climate and environmental emerge as key solutions of priority in
addressing the phenomenon.
Background
Climate change involves the shift in the weather aspects of a place, region or the globe at
large, over a lengthy period. These aspects include temperatures, rainfall, sunshine, humidity,
clouds, atmosphere, wind, and pressure (Nwankwoala, 2015; Ekpoh, 2009)). In the
contemporary context, climate change is being experienced worldwide with a shift in almost
every aspect of the weather, a factor that is causing adverse impacts to the biodiversity.
Human activities are at the core of causing climate change, and this becomes a problem
because humans are part of the environment and have to make the best of it. Among such
activities include deforestation; greenhouse gas emissions; desertification; pollution of air, water,
and land; among others (Nwankwoala, 2015). These activities arise as a necessity for humans to
make their lives better with industrialization being the main factor. According to Mgbemene,
Nnaji, and Nwozor (2009), human beings have triggered climate change to disastrous levels.
