Climate change has had negative effects in the Industrial sector. Impacts of climate change are expected to decline disproportionately to the micro small and medium enterprises which includes product damages, disruption to supply chain, and disruptions in businesses operations. Ideally, climate change should offer new business opportunities to the people. However, in reality, a warming planet poses numerous risks to businesses, ranging from disrupted supply chains to rising insurance costs to labor challenges. Additionally, climate change negatively impacts tourism because climate heavily influences and determines a large portion of tourist flows and trends. It has had an impact on many tourist destinations, where natural disasters such as droughts, storms, and hurricanes, have made many regions and global communities vulnerable. The increase in global temperature may shorten the winter season, reducing tourism on ski resorts, and potentially leading to socioeconomic problems in most affected regions. However, despite climate change harming tourism in well-known areas, it may highlight the tourism potential of previously unexplored areas. It is critical to recognize the reciprocal relationship between tourism and climate change, and how tourism-related pollution contributes to global warming. In other words, tourism has been influenced by climate change which contributes to global warming. Additionally the change in weather has negatively affected the tourism sector. Climate changes may change the annual patterns of overall rainfall, increasing heat waves, and reducing snow cover. Weather patterns that are gradually shifting, rising sea levels, and more extreme weather events are devastating evidence of both a rapidly changing climate and an urgent need for a solution. Overall, the the effects of climate changes in tourism are detrimental on a grander scale.
While climate change effects have been proven globally, the effects are not distributed evenly. Lower class people that are burdened by poverty and oppression bear the brunt of the consequences while having minimum capacity to cope. Additionally those who struggle to earn a living, feed their families, and build stable homes will potentially face more burden as the climate crisis worsens. The frequency and intensity of extreme weather events such as hurricanes, wildfires, and droughts endanger the lives of front-line communities, displacing residents and jeopardizing food sources and livelihoods. These are contributing factors to create further division between social classes, hunger, and poverty. The impacts on climate change commonly affects agriculture, industry, and tourism but it has proven to affect our physical environment, human society, and ecosystems. This will negatively effect the life cycle for humans.
