Climate Change refers to significant and lasting changes in the Earth’s climate, particularly those correlated with increases in temperature, precipitation patterns, and extreme weather events due to human activities, primarily the release of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere. This phenomenon is largely driven by the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes. It leads to a range of environmental impacts, including rising sea levels, melting glaciers, shifts in ecosystems, and increased frequency of hurricanes and droughts. Climate change poses serious risks to natural and human systems, affecting food security, water supply, health, and biodiversity. It is a critical global issue that requires coordinated international efforts for mitigation and adaptation.
