Abstract
It is only too apparent that climate change is having a large negative impact on human life by worsening drought in some parts of the earth and unleashing enormous storms in the same parts or different ones. And it is not only climate change, since many natural resources are running low in quantity and quality. It has been predicted that primarily due to global warming, one-third of the earth will become unliveable in the near future. Indeed, it is now obvious that sustainability is the greatest challenge that humans have ever faced.
