Climate Change

Climate Change refers to significant and lasting changes in the Earth’s climate and weather patterns over an extended period. It encompasses both natural processes and human-induced changes, primarily driven by the increase of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere due to activities like burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes. Climate change manifests in various forms, including rising global temperatures, shifting precipitation patterns, increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and changing ecosystems. These changes have profound implications for natural and human systems, affecting agriculture, water supplies, health, and biodiversity. Addressing climate change involves mitigation strategies to reduce emissions and adaptation practices to cope with its effects.
