Climate Change Impact
Climate Change Impact refers to the effects and consequences that arise as a result of changes in the Earth’s climate, primarily driven by human activities such as greenhouse gas emissions. These impacts can manifest in various forms, including rising temperatures, more frequent and severe weather events (such as hurricanes, floods, and droughts), shifts in ecosystems, alterations in agricultural productivity, sea level rise, and changes in water availability. Additionally, climate change can affect human health, economies, and natural resources, leading to social and environmental challenges. The term encompasses both direct effects, such as extreme weather conditions, and indirect effects, such as changes in biodiversity and the displacement of communities. Understanding climate change impacts is crucial for developing mitigation and adaptation strategies to address and manage the risks associated with a warming planet.
