The right to life has always been threatened by traditional threats of armed conflict, apartheid policies and violations of the rights of children and women.

However, nowadays there are more serious new threats to it, which cause major human losses.

These are the environmental threats.

This is because the death of individuals and groups due to natural disasters was included in the natural rate of human losses due to these phenomena, which have accompanied human lives since their presence on earth.

But, their high rates due to the increased levels of pollution and global warming threatening the lives of all living organisms not only that of the human being expose them to complete collapse, if no serious work is executed to address the causes of climate change.
