Behaviour, Perceptions, and Knowledge of Households
摘要
Climate change, an unpredicted global challenge, stands at the intersection of environmental, social, and economic dynamics. The crisis lies in the intricate relationship between carbon emissions, individual and household behaviours, and their profound impact on the planet. The global climate is undergoing significant transformation primarily attributed to anthropogenic activities, notably the excessive release of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O) are the major contributors trapping heat and intensifying the greenhouse effect leading to global warming. The consequences are evident in rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and disruptions to ecosystems. Carbon emissions primarily result from the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, which are major contributors to GHGs. Industrial activities, transportation, and energy production account for a substantial share escalating the levels of atmospheric carbon. Understanding and mitigating carbon emissions are pivotal in curbing the progression of climate change.
