<p dir="ltr">The increasing prevalence of extreme weather events has garnered global attention, with the need for effective mitigation strategies to combat climate change becoming a global priority. This study aims to analyze the causes of carbon emissions and examine their impact on climate change based on 3 aspects — Temperature, Precipitation, and Climate-related Disasters. To this end, datasets pertaining to carbon emissions and climate change from 2000 to 2020 were obtained from authoritative websites. The analysis revealed that carbon emission had an upward trend with the largest emitter coming from Electricity and Heat, along with statistical analyses conducted showing a positive correlation coefficient on climate change. Furthermore, the number of climate-carbon policies also had an increasing trend with the most effective policy categories having the lowest percentage change in carbon emission and climate change over the years. In addition, exploratory analysis and regression models were utilized to examine the effect of carbon emission on society revealing a strong positive correlation along with 3 carbon prediction scenarios — Best, Base, Worst — reflecting the need for action to inform policymakers and stakeholders. Therefore, this study contributes to understanding the impact of carbon emissions on climate change and provides recommendations for a transition to a cleaner future.</p>
