This paper review explores environmental challenges and responsiveness. Natural calamities and human activities have contaminated the ecosystem, making it unhealthy for plants and animals. Human activities are required to address environmental issues. The quality of the environment will be determined by how humans respond to environmental challenges. The literature reviewed reveal that although environmental challenges could be attributed to natural disaster, some could be due to anthropogenic activities. Human actions have an impact on the environment, prompting the need for people to engage in environmentally friendly activities that will aid in the preservation and sustainability of the environment for future generations.
