Global warming is a phenomenon that has a major impact on the environment, especially in increasing the frequency and intensity of natural disasters throughout the world. The increase in Earth’s average temperature due to greenhouse gas emissions causes significant climate change. This results in various natural disasters such as floods, droughts and more severe storms. Flooding is one of the disasters that occurs increasingly frequently. As temperatures rise, much of the ice in the polar regions is melting, resulting in sea levels rising. Research shows that rising sea levels can increase the risk of flooding in coastal areas. Apart from that, irregular and extreme rainfall also contributes to more intensive flooding events. Drought is another impact of global warming. Changes in weather patterns have caused some areas to experience drastically reduced rainfall, resulting in severe drought. Agricultural development that relies on irrigation is now facing challenges, because water sources are becoming increasingly limited. Drought can affect food security and worsen the clean water crisis in various regions. Tropical storms and cyclones are also becoming more frequent and stronger due to global warming. As sea temperatures increase, the energy required to trigger hurricanes increases. This leads to more destructive storms, with major impacts on human life, infrastructure and ecosystems. Many regions that had never experienced intense storms suddenly faced the threat of increased frequency of tropical cyclones. The research results show that global warming can trigger ecosystem shifts, which in turn influence natural disasters. For example, forests burn more quickly in hot areas, causing a further increase in carbon emissions. These forest fires not only threaten flora and fauna, but can also create more severe extreme weather conditions by affecting local wind and temperature patterns. The impact of global warming is not just a local phenomenon, but has global implications. Developing countries with limited resources are most vulnerable to these impacts. Communities in disaster-prone areas experience difficulties in building resilience, which should be a priority amidst ever-increasing threats. Awareness and preventive action are important steps in reducing the impact of global warming on natural disasters. Investments in environmentally friendly technologies and sustainable resource management are essential to combat climate change.
