The increase in temperature causes the temperature of the sea becomes warmer which led to the reduction potential of fisheries catches.


In agriculture, such as corn and rice, the temperature was 4 degrees has led to a five percent decrease in production due to drought and increased potential for saltwater intrusion in coastal agriculture vulnerable to rising sea level.

In the field of health, global temperature rise has pushed the number of cases of heat-related illnesses, including stress, stroke, and cardiovascular disorders.
