  • "be experienced.The impact of changing climate has been widely experienced as well asobserved. The changes that it has experienced provide an indication for the whole worldregarding the climatic change. These climatic changes will spread in each and every part ofthe world affecting the global climate, the levels of the sea, biodiversity as well as many otheraspects of the social as well as economical systems. Therefore, awareness is the biggest factoramong the people and along with awareness some quick and responsive action needs to betaken by the decision makers as well as each and every single people should do whatever theycan do in order to control the increase in temperature. “As the scientific results presented in this assessment clearly illustrate, climate changepresents a major and growing challenge to the Arctic and the world as a whole. While theconcerns this generates are important now, their implications are of even greater importancefor the future generations that will inherit the legacy of the current actions or inaction. Strongnear-term action to reduce emissions is required in order to alter the future path of human- induced warming. Action is also needed to begin to adapt to the warming that is alreadyoccurring and will continue. The findings of this first Arctic Climate Impact Assessmentprovide a scientific basis upon which decision makers can consider, craft, and implementappropriate actions to respond to this important and far-reaching challenge.”Bibliography:1.
