Climate Change

Climate Change refers to significant and lasting changes in the Earth’s climate, particularly an increase in global temperatures and alterations in weather patterns. This phenomenon is largely driven by human activities, especially the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes, which increase the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. As a result, climate change leads to various environmental impacts, including rising sea levels, changing precipitation patterns, more frequent and severe weather events, and disruptions to ecosystems. The term encompasses not only the warming of the planet but also the broader effects on natural systems and human societies, emphasizing the urgent need for mitigation and adaptation strategies to address its impacts.
