1. Environment
They found that warming will have more consequences in some areas than in
others.
The problem is that these hot, arid or tropical zones are also those with poorer
countries that pollute less than Europe, the United States or China. Basically, a
country like Brazil, despite polluting relatively less compared to a country like
France, will suffer more negative consequences from global warming
- Climate change, sea level rising, melting ice
- Loss of biodiversity

+ loss of habitats and nature environment
2. Health
- Pollution is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Increasing
pollution worldwide is proving deadlier than war, natural disasters or smoking,
the report estimates that at least 9 million premature deaths were caused during
the year by diseases from toxic exposure.

Increasing pollution worldwide is proving deadlier than war, natural disasters or smoking, the report estimates that at least 9 million premature deaths were caused during the year by diseases from toxic exposure. Air pollution is the major environmental driver associated with a multitude of diseases, including respiratory conditions such as asthma and lung cancer;
