Climate change has emerged as a threat to the entire globe and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has iterated that it needed immediate action to prevent it otherwise it would lead to mass destruction (IPCC, 2007). A majority of nations, particularly developing nations, of the world have been affected and their economic growth has also been devastated by the impacts of climate change.
