“…Chowdhury [56] reported a 23% increase in efficiency of using Si, InN and Au nanoparticles. Their nano-treated cells show an average improvement of about 25% in short circuit current and reduce the reflection by 2.7% compared to reference cells at a wavelength from 300 to 800 nm, which indicates light is getting scattered by these nanoparticles.…”

It is becoming clear that Climate Change is getting severe. It was reported that the improved ocean heat measurements have a rate of warming upwards from 4 to 5 Hiroshima bombs liberated heat per second or 388,800 per day. It was reported also that our climate has accumulated the equivalent of a total of more than 2.8 billion Hiroshima bombs' worth of heat since 1998. Despite this global concern about the effect of global change on environment, it is believed that the problem is much more severe and with greater impact on all facets of life. The effect of Climate Change, especially with a 1˚C increase in global temperature (from 14˚C to 15˚C) is equivalent to the heat liberated from explosion of about 300 million Hiroshima of atomic bomb. This is why this CoP 26 becomes more serious and had targeted year 2060 as a year of zero CO 2 emission. This paper discusses the impact of climate change on ten sectors; water, water desalination, energy, renewable energy supply, health, society, agriculture, economy, industry, and built environment.
