Abstract: In this century, humanity has faced numerous challenges such as the global financial crisis, a global pandemic, and wars. However, the challenge that has the most far-reaching consequences is climate change. The occurrence of extreme weather conditions such as hurricanes, floods, droughts, heat waves and other natural disasters is increasing and will become more frequent in the future. Climate change is causing rising sea levels, epidemics, wild fires, the destruction of the environment, the extinction of numerous plant and animal species, melting glaciers and many other effects. A large number of studies prove that climate change negatively affects economic growth and the Quality of Life. The most sensitive and vulnerable sectors are agriculture, water, energy, tourism and transport. Climate change greatly affects the general well-being, and especially the Quality of Life and living standards of people. Using the Eurostat methodology on the Quality of Life indicators (Financial and Material Living Conditions, Employment, Health, Education, Leisure and Social Activities, Economic and Physical Safety, Governance and Basic Human Rights, as well as, the Natural and Living Environment),this research shows that climate change negatively affects all of them to a greater or lesser extent.
