C. Example: Developing nations facing challenges in transitioning due to economic constraints.

V. Deforestation and Land Use Change

A. Rampant deforestation impacting climate patterns
B. Fact: About 31% of the Earth's land area is covered by forests.
C. Example: Ongoing deforestation in the Amazon rainforest affecting global carbon sinks.

VI. Lack of Sustainable Agriculture Practices

A. Conventional agriculture practices contributing to emissions
B. Fact: Agriculture is responsible for 24% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
C. Example: Use of nitrogen-based fertilizers releasing nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas.

VII. Failure in Adapting to Climate Change

A. Insufficient measures to adapt to changing climate conditions
B. Fact: Over 2 billion people are vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.
C. Example: Low-lying coastal regions facing increased risks of flooding due to rising sea levels.

VIII. Insufficient Investment in Climate Resilience

A. Limited financial backing for climate resilience projects
B. Fact: The annual investment needed for climate adaptation is estimated to be $70-$100 billion.
C. Example: Developing nations struggling to access funds for climate adaptation.

IX. Limited Public Awareness and Engagement

A. Inadequate public understanding and involvement in climate issues
B. Fact: A 2020 survey found that only 57% of people worldwide consider climate change a major
threat.
C. Example: The need for more effective communication strategies to increase awareness.

X. Political Will and Leadership

A. Lack of political commitment hindering effective climate policies
B. Fact: Many nations' climate pledges are not in line with limiting global warming to 1.5°C.
