As the planet warms due to increased greenhouse gas emissions, the resultant climatic shifts are precipitating profound economic consequences. These effects manifest in various forms, including damage to infrastructure from extreme weather events, shifts in agricultural productivity, and increased health costs. Moreover, climate change exacerbates socio-economic inequalities, disproportionately affecting vulnerable populations. Analyzing these multifaceted impacts is essential for devising comprehensive strategies to mitigate risks and ensure sustainable economic development in an era of climate uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong>Tag: <\/strong>GS \u2013 3 Environmental Pollution &amp; Degradation,
