Seminar Summary: Since the Industrial Revolution, the rapid increase in the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere—primarily due to various human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes—combined with the contribution of urbanization, has led to the intensification of the natural greenhouse effect. the resulting rise in temperatures on the Earth’s surface and in the lower atmosphere is referred to as “Global Warming.” The effects of global warming, which cause changes in the Earth’s climate system, are felt everywhere on the planet—from the highest peaks to the depths of the oceans, and from the equator to the poles. A 2°C rise in temperature in the Mediterranean Basin will lead to unexpected weather events, heat waves, an increase in the number and severity of wildfires—and consequently, a loss of biodiversity—a decline in tourism revenue, a decline in agricultural yields, and, most importantly, drought.
