Climate Change

Climate change refers to long-term alterations in temperature, precipitation, wind patterns, and other elements of the Earth’s climate system. It is primarily driven by human activities, especially the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes, which increase concentrations of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere. These changes can result in significant environmental impacts, including rising sea levels, more frequent and severe weather events, shifts in ecosystems and biodiversity, and effects on agriculture and human health. Climate change poses a global challenge that requires coordinated efforts in mitigation and adaptation to reduce its impacts.
