alternative effects. climate change will increase the appearance of more violent weather
phenomena, drought, fires, the death of animal and plant species, flooding from rivers and lakes,
the creation of climate refugees and destruction of the organic phenomenon and economic
resources, particularly in developing country.

fight against climate change and its derivative effects a strategic priority. Aligned with the
