Abstract

The paper has been established and designed to cater masses and readers to analyze the impact of climatic changes and the overall geographic transformations which directly or indirectly influence a country's development in the area of infrastructure. Climate change has become a global issue therefore every country is trying to reduce the impact of it on our environment, economic and our security is the defining issue of our era. Climatic changes are a serious issue of common concern to the developed and developing nations along with flora and fauna of the world. These changes and substantial transformations continue to take place and influence our daily routine.

CHAPTER 01: INTRODUCTION

The paper has been established and designed to cater masses and readers to analyze the impact of climatic changes and the overall geographic transformations which directly or indirectly influence a country's development in the area of infrastructure. This study will actually help us individuals make way for the purpose and objective of looking at climatic changes and their devastating impacts upon the country's physical and architectural development.

Background of the Research

Climate change has become a global issue therefore every country is trying to reduce the impact of it on our environment, economic and our security is the defining issue of our era. Climatic changes are a serious issue of common concern to the developed and developing nations along with flora and fauna of the world. Climatic changes prevalent exist and continue to influence major parts of our daily lives. Some have a rather invisible impact, such as air pollution, which adversely affects the system in a ...
