Abstract

The impact of climate change will result in catastrophic human consequences if action is not taken to address these concerns. Strategic urban planning can aid with the expected impacts of the climate changes moving forward. According to NASA reports, the formation of warm ocean currents will lead to accelerated melting of the Arctic ice resulting in sea-level rise. This, in turn, affects human populations in the coastal cities for many of the world’s regions for the past and current centuries. This chapter describes the reality of environmental research and standards in Syria and the current challenges.
