Climate Change

Climate Change refers to significant and lasting alterations in the Earth’s climate patterns, particularly a rise in global temperatures. This phenomenon is primarily driven by human activities, especially the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes, which increase the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. These gases trap heat, leading to changes in weather patterns, such as more frequent and severe storms, droughts, rising sea levels, and shifts in ecosystems and biodiversity. Climate change poses substantial risks to natural environments, human health, food security, water supply, and economic stability. It is a critical global issue that requires coordinated international efforts for mitigation and adaptation strategies.
