Examining the Social and Economic Impact of Climate Change on Rural Communities and the Role of Global Governance in Addressing These Challenges

Abstract

This study examines the impacts of climate change on rural communities, specifically in the areas of agriculture, forestry, fisheries, and natural resources. The study highlights the challenges faced by these communities in terms of social welfare, economic growth, infrastructure development, and environmental sustainability. Global governance is also mentioned as an important factor in addressing climate change challenges. The study finds that rural populations heavily depend on these sectors, making them vulnerable to extreme weather events such as increasing temperatures, storms, floods, and droughts. This vulnerability leads to various social and economic challenges, including crop failures, harm to livestock, and infrastructure damage.
