Abstract

The industrial revolution marked the point where the harmony between nature and mankind began to come apart. Mankind began to contaminate the environment and exploiting its natural resources to an extent that had never been seen before. In the 20th century this disharmony has grown to a global level. As a result of economic and social development, natural resources were yielded in an unsustainable way, generating several environmental problems. Due to the technological and medical advancement, the population number of mankind has continuously increased. This unregulated growth has produced many new environmental disorders. The aim of this article is to display how many things human activity affects, and attempts to review and analyse certain global environmental challenges of the 21st century.
