Climate Change

Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the Earth’s climate, particularly those related to temperature, precipitation patterns, and other atmospheric conditions. It 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 a rise in global temperatures, altered weather patterns, more frequent and severe extreme weather events, sea-level rise, and impacts on ecosystems and biodiversity. Climate change poses serious risks to natural environments, human health, agriculture, and economies worldwide.
