Abstract

This is an attempt to throw light on climate change as a problem not only felt in Europe, America, and Asia, but Africa as well, with a special emphasis on Sierra Leone. The poverty level in Africa has made climate change and global warming a great concern. Many people have asked many questions in the past, certain critical questions such as these: What is climate change? What are the causes? What could be the impacts? Is it only affecting humans? If it affects other spheres that aid human existence, how does it occur? Answering these questions, I adopted descriptive analysis. I reviewed textbooks, previous studies, journals and other related materials on the internet, university papers, and interviewed people in order to carry out the study. In order to achieve the aims and objectives of this project, the necessary information collected were mainly divided into the following: Introduction, content and recommendations. The content contained the effects or impacts of climate change on life supporting elements, including the ocean/water, air and air quality, land, food security, the economy of a state, and the implications on human health. In light of these findings, I forwarded some recommendations for personnel working for a reversal of the aforementioned implications. Among the recommendations was a reduction of the use of fossil fuel at homes, putting a hold on deforestation, fighting disinformation etc.
