Climate Change

Climate change refers to significant and lasting alterations in the Earth’s climate patterns, particularly an increase in global temperatures due to human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes. This phenomenon results in shifts in weather patterns, rising sea levels, and increased frequency and severity of extreme weather events. Climate change has widespread implications for natural ecosystems, human health, agriculture, and economies. It is primarily driven by the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which trap heat and cause the planet to warm. Addressing climate change involves mitigation efforts to reduce emissions and adaptation strategies to cope with its impacts. Climate change has become a critical global challenge that necessitates international cooperation and policy changes to ensure a sustainable future.
