Climate Change

Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the Earth’s climate, particularly those related to temperature, precipitation, and other atmospheric conditions over extended periods. It is primarily driven by human activities, especially the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes that release greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat, leading to a rise in global temperatures and causing a cascade of environmental effects, including rising sea levels, changes in weather patterns, increased frequency of extreme weather events, and disruptions to ecosystems. Climate change poses serious threats to natural and human systems, affecting agriculture, water supply, health, and biodiversity. Mitigation and adaptation strategies are essential to address its impacts and reduce future risks.
