Millions of people are already suffering from natural disasters accelerated by climate change, from long-term droughts in sub-Saharan African to devastating tropical storms that swept Southeast Asia, the Caribbean, and the Pacific. In 2018, shocking heatwaves and wildfires in most parts of the Northern Hemisphere, from the Arctic to Greece, Japan, Pakistan, and the United States, killed hundreds of lives

We have only understood climate change as an impact on the natural environment. Climate change, however, raises urgent human rights issues and will continue to cause them. This is mankind's disaster Climate change magnifies and exacerbates existing inequality. Its adverse effects will grow larger over time, becoming a clear threat to present and future generations. The ease of governments that do not cope with clear scientific evidence beforehand can be one of the largest intergenerational human rights violations in history.

97% of climate scientists agree that most global warming is caused by humans. The overwhelming consensus has already formed on mankind's responsibility for warming. The biggest cause of global warming is the use of fossil fuels such as coal, gas, and oil. This increases the atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. Clearing for agriculture is also one of the reasons for increasing global warming are as clear as tobacco and lung cancer. In 1992, 165 countries gathered to adopt the United Nations framework convention on Climate Change. At the annual meeting of the governing bodies, each country will focus on setting goals for reducing climate change, discussing ways to mitigate them, and addressing visible impacts. Currently, 197 countries are covered by the UN framework convention on Climate Change.

Unless the government takes action, climate change will harm both the present and future. However, this damage is likely to have a greater impact on certain groups. Climate change will be even more damaging for those in agriculture and fisheries, as well as for the underprivileged, vulnerable and discriminated.

The fact that culture is dying out may seem natural. For example, if all people who used the same culture were killed by natural disasters, the culture would disappear without a trace. Many scholars, however, have come to speak and say that the extinction of culture has never been faster.

This series of processes also implies violence. Countless examples are found in the history of the world, including Europe, Africa, the United States, and Indians. And if you keep looking at these examples, you can see that much has been caused by relatively recent air currents, from imperialism in the 19th century to two world wars, globalization, and urbanization in developing countries. While recent trends such as urbanization and globalization cannot be condemned or sold, cultural extinction is a human-induced disaster and most deadly for the survival of culture.

Eurocentrism is a view of Europe as the center of the world. In other words, it implies values, attitudes, ideas, and even ideological orientations that assert the uniqueness and superiority of European civilizations over non-European civilization. This is because European centralism not only considers Europe important but also companies 'strategic neglect' of non-European existence. European centrism consists of European exceptionalism and orientalism. European exceptionalism is that Europe has developed the concept of economic development into the invention of Europe by developing private property rights, secured autonomous cities to secure business activities and civil liberties.
