Abstract
Climate change and industrial expansion are deeply interconnected, with each amplifying the effects of the other. Industrial growth, driven by increased manufacturing and energy consumption, significantly contributes to climate change through elevated greenhouse gas emissions. As industries expand, they release more carbon dioxide and other pollutants, intensifying global warming. This warming disrupts weather patterns, leading to more extreme temperatures, heatwaves, and rising sea levels. Conversely, climate change exacerbates the environmental impact of industrial activities. Extreme weather events and altered climate conditions further strain natural resources and infrastructure, compounding the effects of industrial pollution. This synergy creates a cycle of environmental degradation and health risks, including respiratory illnesses, heat-related conditions, and disrupted food and water supplies. Addressing this challenge requires a concerted effort to adopt sustainable industrial practices, enforce rigorous environmental regulations, and promote green technologies to mitigate the adverse impacts on both climate and health.
