Read the following paragraph and choose the correct statement.
of human progress is that human security largely depends upon environmental security. But on the
Climate change has reduced human security and threatened human well being. An ignored reality
contrary, human progress seems contradictory to environmental security. To keep up both at the
required level is a challenge to be addressed by one and all. One of the ways to curb the climate
change may be suitable scientific innovations, while the other may be the Gandhian perspective on
small scale progress with focus on sustainability.
