Climate change, driven largely by human activities, is causing significant shifts in global temperatures, weather patterns, and sea levels. The burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes release greenhouse gases, trapping heat and leading to a warming planet. Consequences include more frequent and intense heatwaves, droughts, floods, and storms, as well as rising sea levels threatening coastal communities. Mitigating climate change requires global cooperation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through transitioning to renewable energy sources, improving energy efficiency, and adopting sustainable land use practices. Adaptation measures are also crucial to help communities cope with the unavoidable impacts of climate change.
