    (Faculty of Social Science, Univeristy of Ilorin, 2021) Ajibade, Lanre Tajudeen and Agaja Toluwalope Mubo
    Emerging environmental problems in the last decades have been accumulated to the old ones, bringing new challenges to international and national environmental protection institutions. An introduction to Global Environmental Issues presents a comprehensive and stimulating introduction to the key environmental issues presently threatening our global environment. Major global environmental issues and their interactions with climate are brought into focus in this chapter. The rapid growing population and economic development in the world at large is leading to a number of environmental issues because of the uncontrolled growth of urbanization and industrialization, expansion and massive intensification of agriculture, and the destruction of forests among others which have great impact on the climate. In fact, some of these issues that are urgent and challenging environmental problems in the last decades were identified in the last 50 years creating greater awareness for the urgent need to take positive action. Therefore, this chapter seeks to assess global environmental issues and its attendant impact on climate.
