Summary

Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns, primarily caused by human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes, leading to increased levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. These changes result in more frequent and severe weather events, rising sea levels, and disruptions to ecosystems and biodiversity. The impacts of climate change pose significant risks to global food security, water resources, human health, and economic stability, necessitating urgent and coordinated efforts to reduce emissions, adapt to changes, and mitigate further environmental damage.
