Understanding Climate Change

Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns, primarily
caused by human activities, especially the burning of fossil fuels. These changes have
widespread implications for the environment, economies, and societies around the globe.

Causes

- Greenhouse gas emissions from industry, transportation, and agriculture.

- Deforestation reducing the planet's capacity to absorb CO2.

- Industrial activities altering land use and increasing pollutants.

Effects

- Rising global temperatures.

- Melting ice caps and rising sea levels.

- More frequent and severe weather events.

- Impacts on biodiversity and ecosystems.

Solutions

- Transitioning to renewable energy sources.

- Enhancing energy efficiency.

- Reforestation and conservation efforts.

- International cooperation through agreements like the Paris Accord.

Addressing climate change requires a concerted global effort and long-term commitment to
sustainability.
