Abstract

For a very long time, scientists have researched climate change. The landscape around us has undergone a dramatic transformation, as we can witness. Glaciers melt as a result of warm heat waves brought on by the rising earth’s temperature. At this point, the world has begun to take climate change seriously and to take action to control it. A novel environmental conservation measure is taken by man courtiers.  In addition to being discussed in the U.N.O. summit, countries contribute law and regulation.

The primary objective of climate change law is to limit greenhouse gas emissions and reduce the overall carbon footprint. This is achieved through the establishment of emission reduction targets and the implementation of various mitigation measures. These actions might involve promoting alternate source of energy, improving utilization of energy, and implementing greener technology to the manufacturing and transportation sectors. By implementing effective climate change laws, countries can contribute to global efforts in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, protecting vulnerable communities, and building a sustainable future for generations to come.

Each branch of the government will play a significant part in this. There is no time to waste, as we are aware. If we want to reduce our greenhouse gas carbon by half, we as a species only have around nine years remaining, according to top scientists in the world. Therefore, it is crucial that people begin to become aware of it and begin leading a life that is in harmony with the environment. In order to protect the ecosystem and enforce strict rules and regulations relating to climate change, this article discusses ecological and greenhouse impact legislation.
