Geographical Review of the Effects of Climate Change on Different Regions of the World

This study analyzes the impacts of climate change across five regions—Arctic, Sub-Saharan Africa, Southeast Asia, Australia, and Europe—using a secondary data analysis approach. Quantitative data on temperature, precipitation, and socio-economic indicators were sourced from global databases, while qualitative insights were gathered through interviews with local experts and stakeholders. The findings reveal significant regional disparities, with the Arctic experiencing the highest temperature increases and Sub-Saharan Africa facing severe droughts and food insecurity. Southeast Asia struggles with frequent flooding, while Australia contends with wildfires. Europe, though more resilient, is dealing with heatwaves and shifting ecosystems. The study underscores the urgent need for international cooperation and resource allocation to support vulnerable regions in developing effective adaptation strategies. These insights aim to inform policymakers and stakeholders about the diverse impacts of climate change and the critical steps needed to build resilience globally.
