Air Pollution and Climate Change
The second half of the twentieth and the beginning of the twenty-first century are marked by two processes that pose a serious threat to the sustainable development of the world in the near future. These are the population explosion in certain parts of the world and climate change. At the beginning of the second millennium the world population was only 300 million, today it exceeds 8 billion and by the middle of this century it will reach 10 billion. At the same time, throughout human history, people have lived and worked in an identical way, now for the first time we have industry, transport, industrial animal husbandry that seriously pollute the natural environment, the consequences of it are unpredictable and they are bound to affect people. And this is already occurring, with increasingly acute drinking water shortages catalysing existing ethno-religious conflicts and generating new ones. The ones we have analyzed in this paper are along the Nile and in the Middle East along the Tigris, Euphrates and Jordan rivers. Already more than half of African countries are in water stress, and nearly a third in water disaster, including one, Uganda, which according to UN projections is expected to have a population growth between 2000 and 2050 of 302%! And when we talk about climate change and water conflicts, we need to act immediately so that tomorrow is not too late!
