Climate Change

Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the Earth’s climate, particularly an increase in temperature due to human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes. This increase in greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, leads to global warming, which disrupts weather patterns and contributes to extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and other environmental impacts. Climate change encompasses both natural processes and human-induced factors that alter the Earth’s capacity to maintain stable climate conditions. It poses serious risks to ecosystems, human health, and economies worldwide, prompting global efforts for mitigation and adaptation strategies to address its effects.
