Climate change is a burning issue of the world. Increasing of CO2 by industrialization, fossil fuel burning, etc can cause a subtle change in global climate. Green house gases include CO2, N2O, CH4, and CFC etc are foremost region behind global warming leads to changing climate. Earth biodiversity is greatly affected by unusual climate leads to loss and degradation of natural resources and environment. Change in weather regime such as rainfall pattern causes flood and drought not only effects on agricultural production but also influence emergence of several cause emergence of infectious disease. Introduction of the resistance plant variety, mixed cropping, reforestation and agroforestry practices are major remedial measure to mitigate climate change which helps to uplift socioeconomic status of people. Therefore, it is an urgent need to apply intensified and scientific research on climate change-related issues, which result in improved understanding and management of plant diseases in the face of current and future climate extremes.

Abstract


Climate change is a burning issue of the world. Increasing of CO2 by industrialization, fossil fuel burning, etc can cause a subtle change in global climate. Green house gases include CO2, N2O, CH4, and CFC etc are foremost region behind global warming leads to changing climate. Earth biodiversity is greatly affected by unusual climate leads to loss and degradation of natural resources and environment. Change in weather regime such as rainfall pattern causes flood and drought not only effects on agricultural production but also influence emergence of several cause emergence of infectious disease. Introduction of the resistance plant variety, mixed cropping, reforestation and agroforestry practices are major remedial measure to mitigate climate change which helps to uplift socioeconomic status of people. Therefore, it is an urgent need to apply intensified and scientific research on climate change-related issues, which result in improved understanding and management of plant diseases in the face of current and future climate extremes.
