While studies on global warming and climate change are widely documented, a significant number of people are yet to fully understand the implication of scientific evidence drawn on the subject. The following study seeks to assess the implication of climate change for the welfare of humans and the environment at large. Moreover, the study will contribute to knowledge development and making of informed policy decisions. The study is based on two main hypotheses; (1) That humans have a significant impact on global warming and climate. (2) Climate change has a significant negative impact on people, the environment and societal wellbeing. The researcher relied will use a mix research design approach. Both primary and secondary data will be used. Data collection will be administered online using a survey questionnaire. Qualitative data will be analyzed using thematic approach, while quantitative data will be analyzed using STATA, a statistical tool used for the process. A pilot study was conducted with a focus on three participants with a goal of assessing efficacy and reliability of the data collection tool. The researcher expects to obtain an in-depth understanding of the research problem which is key to addressing knowledge gap and policy implication.
