Editorial Note; Special Issue S2: “Global Warming and Climate Change: Part 1”

Abstract

There has been much hue and cry across the world that “earth is dying” and we have to “save the planet,” trying to influence the policies on climate change. But most unfortunately, neither the developed nor the developing countries are really sincere to tackle the planet’s worst and most critical issue. Accordingly, the earth has been facing the chronic problems of rising temperature, increasing sea level, earthquakes, tsunamis, and other natural disasters. These problems have become regular features. The issue of global warming and climate change has created unprecedented challenges for nations to face and to find out solutions to these burning issues. Numerous negotiations have been taking place across the world (including the last Paris Agreement), but unfortunately, nothing concrete has come up so far, and as a result, the issues are remaining as a myth. For example, the Paris accord has been taking place for climate change policies, but on the implementation horizon, nothing has happened. The worst is the disassociation of the United States from the accord. All this speak volumes about the concern, attitude, responsiveness, and sincerity of nations toward the issue of global warming and climate change.
