Climate Change

Climate Change refers to significant and lasting alterations in the Earth’s climate, particularly an increase in average temperature due to human activities, such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes. This phenomenon leads to various environmental impacts, including rising sea levels, more extreme weather events, shifts in wildlife populations and habitats, and changes in agricultural productivity. Climate change is primarily driven by the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide and methane, which trap heat and disrupt the planet’s climate systems. It poses serious challenges to ecosystems, human health, food security, and global economies, necessitating urgent action to mitigate its effects and adapt to ongoing changes.
