Climate Change

Climate change refers to significant and long-term alterations in temperature, precipitation, wind patterns, and other elements of the Earth's climate system. It encompasses both natural variability in climate and changes driven by human activities, particularly the release of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane from burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes. The consequences of climate change include global warming, rising sea levels, more frequent and severe weather events, shifting ecosystems, and impacts on agriculture, health, and biodiversity. Climate change is a critical global challenge that requires coordinated international responses to mitigate its effects and adapt to its consequences.
