Abstract

Due to its detrimental effects on the environment and human life, climate change has drawn the attention of numerous researchers and academics from a wide range of fields. This systematic review tackles this significant subject. This study gathers and examines data from various research publications, polls, and reports to give a thorough picture of the current status of climate change. The assessment also seeks to highlight the critical role that composite materials play as a cutting-edge material utilized in many industries to address the climate catastrophe. The review specifically looks at the many types of composite materials, how they are made, and how they might be used in particular industries. The research also examines the efficacy of current advancements in composites and policy solutions used worldwide to fight global warming. The review attempts to give a comprehensive picture of composite materials that play a vital role in conservation by combining data from other studies, pointing out knowledge gaps, and recommending future research approaches. This thorough analysis is invaluable for environmental scientists, decision-makers, and other community members engaged in climate conservation.
