Climate Change
Climate Change refers to significant alterations in global climate patterns, particularly a rise in temperature and shifts in weather conditions over extended periods. It is primarily driven by human activities, notably the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes, leading to increased concentrations of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere. These changes result in a range of environmental impacts, including more frequent and severe weather events, rising sea levels, altered precipitation patterns, and disruptions to ecosystems. Climate Change poses significant risks to natural and human systems, including agriculture, water resources, and biodiversity, making it a critical issue for global policy and environmental management.
