تحليل تأثير التغيرات المناخية على البيئة والتنمية المستدامــة في ليبيا

Abstract

The study aims to analyze the impact of climate change on environment and sustainable development in Libya. The results showed that Libya suffers from high temperatures, low rainfall, and increased desertification, which leads to major challenges in the sectors of agriculture, water resources and the marine environment. The data revealed an increase in average temperatures by 1.6 degrees Celsius between 1980 and 2020 and a decrease in rainfall by 36% in the northern region and 42% in the southern region. This decrease negatively affected agricultural production, as the productivity of basic crops such as wheat and barley declined by up to 50% during the same period. The study also showed the impact of climate change on the marine environment, as the productivity of fish resources decreased by 40% due to the increase in water temperatures and increased acidity.
