Abstract
This paper investigation recently attempts by the specialists of
environmental science in international communities, to answer the
question "How to achieve the environmental immunity? This research
focuses on, generally, the framework for green management of climate
change 'challenge, which clarifies; how to protect the healthy
environment right for earth' peoples. The green treatment of climate
change challenges represents a significant matter for all countries because
it considers as preventive boundaries for the earth's environment that
protect the earth from climate change disasters. Thus, the achievement of
environmental immunity requires three kinds of levels; (a) geographical
immunity; (b) chemical -industrial immunity; (c) legislative immunity.
The geographical immunity divides into two levels; horizontal, and
vertical, but the chemical -industrial immunity relies on the recycling
industry for greenhouse gases, especially CO2, in another hand, the
legislative immunity requires the legal framework for the environmental
immunity and enacts the international legislation that enforces the
obligations on developed countries.

Consequently, the researcher will focus on identifying how to achieve


green management for the climate change challenge that protects healthy
environment' rights for the countries. This paper seeks to answer many
questions; what is environmental immunity? What are the components of
green management for the climate change challenge? What are the kinds
of environmental immunity? How to achieve environmental immunity on
a geographical level, technological level, legislative, and judicial one?. It
hopes this research will inform the responsible international
organizations, and national ones, for climate change to enact the rules of
international environmental immunity
.
Keywords: climate change, environment, environmental security.

Background
Climate change is a continuing modification in the typical weather shapes
that have come to delineate Earth’s global, local, and regional climates.
These deviations have an extensive array of witnessed paraphernalia that
is tantamount to the term. Fluctuations witnessed in Earth’s climate
subsequently the primary 20th-century stem mainly from human actions,
chiefly the burning of fossil fuel, which upturns heat of greenhouse gas
ranks in Earth’s air, increasing Earth’s mediocre surface heat. These
human-manufactured temperature upturns are frequently mentioned as
global warming. Normal developments can similarly subsidize climate
change, containing interior changeability (e.g., recurrent ocean
configurations) and exterior power (e.g., variations in Earth’s orbit,
changes in the Sun’s energy output, volcanic activity,). Experts witness
remarks from the earth, environment, and planetary, in conjunction
with theoretical perspectives, to track and watch future, present, and past
climate change. (Nasa, 2021)

Climate change discusses long-standing swings in heat and


meteorological forms. These swings may be normal, such as through
deviations in the astrophysical rotation. However, since the 1800s, human
deeds have been the key cause of climate change, principally attributable
to piping hot fossil fuels like gas, coal, and oil. Fiery fossil fuels produce
emissions of greenhouse gas that make as a comprehensive covered
around the Earth, conning the heat of the sun and rising heat. Cases in
point of emissions of greenhouse gas that are bringing about climate
change embrace carbon dioxide and methane. These derive employing
gasoline for a car' energetic or coal for warming a house. Clearance
forests and land can also issue carbon dioxide. Garbage landfilling's are a
foremost source of methane emissions. Agriculture, buildings, industry,
transport, energy, and land practice are among the leading emitters. (UN,
2021)

The mitigation of undesired consequences of climate change requires an


adaptation strategy, it is imperative to comprehend the shifting
climatological and hydrological inclinations in the previous eras. Even
though the fluctuating climate is a reason of concern for the whole planet,
its impacts can differ meaningfully on a national scale. As a case study,
Canada has witnessed a fast enlargement in the yearly surface air
temperature in the ancient epochs. The contemporary scholarship intends
to explore tendencies in monthly rainfall, snowstorm, supreme and lowest
temperature, as well as total streamflow, baseflow, surface runoff, and
values for the region of Ontario, Canada. A comparable study relating
rural and urban turning point, which measures the impression of varying
climate on temperature and other hydrological developments over an
epoch ranging from 1968 to 2017, has not yet been directed for Ontario.
Man-Kendall drift assessment was used to investigate inclinations in the
above-mentioned hydrometric and climatic factors for rural and urban
watersheds positioned in the northern and southern parts of Ontario. The
consequences of this schoolwork designate that the main regular lowest
temperatures for rural turning point located in southern Ontario have
augmented meaningfully for the summer and winter months, which may
have produced an upturn in melting' snow and subsequently the
streamflow for the winter months in the province. Contrasting the turning
point in southern Ontario, the northern watersheds observed
comparatively scarcer occurrences of noteworthy fluctuations in main
monthly temperatures, and in some cases, decreasing degrees have been
observed. Likewise, only a limited watershed in the north saw a
considerable descent in base flow over the summer months. For closely
all the months, the monthly lowest and supreme temperatures' average
were found to rise for urban watersheds. The surface runoff, baseflow,
and streamflow augmented, likely attributed to fast expansion, resulting
in an inferior penetration rate. These outcomes will donate in the
direction of the decision-making manners and growth of different water
administration plans within the sphere, taking into consideration the
provincial differences in climate change’s impression on the hydrology of
Ontario’s watersheds. ( A. Azarkhish1, R. Rudra, P. Daggupati, J.
Dhiman, T. Dickins, P. Goel, Investigation of Long-Term Climate
and Streamflow Patterns in Ontario, 2021)

Statement of the Problem


Climate change has an extensive array of probable environmental,
economic, and social influences. International anxieties correlated to
intensifying sea levels (Church et al., 2013), an upturn in the rate of
recurrence and concentration of warmness waves (Peterson et al., 2013),
and regular drought and flooding occurrences (Dai, 2013), sorts it
significant to examination the modification in tendencies of hydrological
and climatic data. Nevertheless, the influences of climate change in
consort with land use fluctuations on a provincial scale may differ
significantly based on geographical sites (Hamilton & Keim, 2009). For
example, in an investigation directed by Shahid et al. (2018), it was found
that climate change with land-use change played a vital role in the decline
of excess from the Soan Basin, Pakistan. Accordingly, comprehending
the long and short-term impacts of climate change on factors such as total
streamflow, surface runoff, baseflow, precipitation, and temperature at a
regional scale becomes indispensable, particularly for the provincial
authorities and decision-makers (Shahid & Rahman, 2021; Wang et al.,
2016). The comeback of a local catchment to the climatic deviations (e.g.,
the disparity in rainfall and temperature) is considered its hydrologic
system. In addition, the geomorphologic advancements of catchments are
greatly leisurely than the potential climatic deviations being witnessed.
Consequently, in the unspoiled turning point with the unfettered flows, a
stream’s hydrologic system can be a respectable pointer of the impacts of
climate change (Zhang et al., 2001).

Global climate transformation considers an actual threat to human


healthiness, environments, and water management regimes; there is a
crucial requirement to progress justification and adaptation strategies at
global and local levels (Upadhyay, 2020). To be talented to proceeds any
additional footsteps in planning and carrying out of new approaches to
diminish the undesired outcomes of the continuing provincial climate
change. It is vital to implement a modernized and inclusive investigation
that investigates the chronological inclinations in hydrology and
climatology of the province for the past few decades; the changing
climate and its effects on hydrological processes can be assessed through
a trend analysis of the location’s historical climatic and hydrologic data
(Shahid & Rahman, 2021). Therefore, the aim of this investigation is to
comprehend the special effects of the shifting climate on hydrological
progression for rural and urban watershed.

Objective of the Study


The study aimed at evaluating the position of green management for
climate change disasters by establishing the rules for the environmental
immunity.

Methodology
Experiments- as a research strategies – is a suitable plan for this research,
because it is a hypothetic—deductive approach, because it depends on
studying causal relationship between variables
Discussions
The researcher will discuss the climate change challenge in the light of
policy "turn the challenge to opportunity", the researcher will pose the
"environmental immunity" through three levels; (a) geographical
immunity, (b) chemical- industrial immunity, (c) legislative
immunity, as follows ;

)a) Geographical immunity: the environmental- geographical


immunity depends on two kinds of levels; horizontal, vertical;

1- Horizontal environmental- geographical immunity: is drainage


networks for torrential water and flood that drain the waters floods to
exploit this great amount of water in agricultural development, this
amount of water will be an extra source of water that will fill the water
shortage.

2- Vertical environmental- geographical immunity: are water tanks for


torrential rain and floods that save the water floods to make it the main
source for the agriculture development in desert lands.

(b) Chemical-Industrial immunity: This kind of immunity relies on


establishing the Carbon Absorption Factory (CAF) that is designed for
absorbing the extra rate of CO2, as the main source of global warming, to
recycle it chemically as beneficial material in other fields; as follow;
(1) Use of chemically treated carbon in greenhouses: Carbon dioxide is
an indispensable element in photosynthesis, which is very significant for
the life of all plants. When leaves are sprayed with water-soaked with
liquefied carbon dioxide, plants can engross all the carbon their
hereditary chromosomal traits permit for supreme growth. Moreover,
scientific experiments on the effect of carbon dioxide gas on plants have
proven a 400% upturn in the creation of chlorophyll A and an 800%
increase in the transfer of carbon dioxide gas to both sides of the leaf
surface area. The conclusions of the first agricultural experiments on
three types of hemp, two types of pepper, and two types of lettuce
showed an increase in value of at least 45%. (ADFCA, 2021)

As a result, the establishment of CAF that will treat the carbon


chemically will establish the grounds pipes linked to the greenhouse for
plants to increase the agriculture growth.

(2) Use of chemically treated carbon as a source of energy (gasoline):


The first research team, led by Chinese chemist Yu Han Sun, at the
Shanghai Advanced Research Institute, was able to convert carbon
dioxide into gasoline by using a catalyst consisting of partially-reduced
indium oxide, in addition to Saccone Mobil zeolite. (Zeolite Socony
Mobil-5) The conversion process occurs in two steps; Indium oxide
converts carbon dioxide and hydrogen into methanol (methyl alcohol),
and zeolite converts methanol into more stable hydrocarbons that can be
used as fuel. In this way, about 13% of the carbon dioxide in the reaction
can be converted into fuel. In the same vein, the second research team,
from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, led by chemist Kenji Jie,
used a different mixture of catalysts. Partially-reduced magnetite was
used alongside zeolite. By using this different mixture, a greater
proportion of the carbon dioxide entering the reaction was converted to
gasoline, reaching 22%.(Scientific American, 2017)

As a result, the establishment of CAF that will treat the carbon


chemically will establish the grounds pipes linked to the Gasoline station.

(3) Use of chemically treated carbon as fire extinguishers for fire


forest:

The CAF will treat carbon chemically to transform it to fire extinguisher


material to put out forest fires generated from global warming by
installing ground sprinklers in the forest escape through pumping pipes
for chemically treated carbon.
(c) Legislative immunity:

The achievement of environmental immunity requires the legal


framework for an environment matters that limits greenhouse gas use in
developed countries, which used fossils fuels in their industries, the
environmental legislation will be at the national and international level.

The national legislations have to enact rules that enforce the obligations
for industrial factories in developed countries to recycle carbon dioxide -
as an obligation- into beneficial material that achieve a healthy
environment and enact expensive fines if they violated the healthy
environment legislation.

The international conventions require to form an international committee


that considers as a monitor for the developed industrial countries- as the
main source for global warming- to watch their greenhouse gases
utilization, which damages the environmental health, and to impose
compensation payments to the developing countries to treat with the
climate change disasters. As a result, the developed countries are
responsible for paying compensation for the developing countries that
suffer from the climate change disasters generated from greenhouse
gases.

Findings
1-Climate change discusses long-standing swings in heat and
meteorological forms. These swings may be normal, such as through
deviations in the astrophysical rotation. However, since the 1800s, human
deeds have been the key cause of climate change, principally attributable
to piping hot fossil fuels like gas, coal, and oil. Fiery fossil fuels produce
emissions of greenhouse gas that make as a comprehensive covered
around the Earth, conning the heat of the sun and rising heat. Cases in
point of emissions of greenhouse gas that are bringing about climate
change embrace carbon dioxide and methane.

2- The mitigation of undesired consequences of climate change requires


an adaptation of a new strategy that achieves a healthy environment, it is
imperative to comprehend how to achieve green management for the
climate change challenge.
Conclusion:
1- The green management of climate change disasters requires drawing
the environmental immunity plan, this immunity divided into three kinds;
geographical, chemical- industrial, legislation.

2- The environmental- geographical immunity depends on two kinds of


levels; horizontal, vertical ;Horizontal environmental- geographical
immunity: is drainage networks for torrential water and flood that drain
the waters floods to exploit this great amount of water in agricultural
development, this amount of water will be an extra source of water that
will fill the water shortage. However, the vertical environmental-
geographical immunity: is a water tank for torrential rain and floods that
save the water floods to make it the main source for the agriculture
development in desert lands.

3-Chemical-Industrial immunity relies on establishing the Carbon


Absorption Factory (CAF) that is designed for absorbing the extra rate of
CO2, as the main source of global warming, to recycle it chemically as
beneficial material in other fields.

4-The achievement of environmental immunity requires the legal


framework for an environment matters that limits greenhouse gas use in
developed countries, which used fossils fuels in their industries, the
environmental legislation will be at the national and international level

Recommendations:
1- Applying to transform the challenge to opportunity' policy is required
in the treatment process for climate change challenges.

2- Establishment the drainage networks for torrential water and flood, and
water tanks for torrential rain and floods to exploit the extra water sources
in agriculture development.

3- Establishment Carbon Absorption Factory (CAF) that is designed for


absorbing the extra rate of CO2, as the main source of global warming, to
recycle carbon chemically as beneficial material in other fields.
4- Forming the international committee that considers as a monitor for the
developed industrial countries, to watch their greenhouse gases
utilization.

5- The developing countries have a right to take legal action


internationally against the developed countries to ask the suitable
compensation due to their sufferance from climate change disasters,
because the fault of developed countries, that is the utilization of
greenhouse gases, cause many damages for the developing countries
'peoples; such as; destroying the building, destroying the agriculture
corps.
