What is climate change?
Climate change refers to the long-term alteration of Earth's climate patterns, particularly the increase in global average temperatures and changes in weather patterns over an extended period. It is primarily driven by human activities, especially the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, leading to a phenomenon commonly known as global warming.
Key aspects of climate change include:
1. Global Warming
2. Greenhouse Effect
3. Weather Pattern Changes
4. Rising Sea Levels
5. Ocean Acidification
6. Impact on Ecosystems
7. Social and Economic Impacts
The consequences of climate change are widespread and affect all regions of the world. To address the challenges posed by climate change, international efforts have been made to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and limit global warming. The Paris Agreement, adopted in 2015 by countries worldwide, aims to keep the global temperature increase well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
Addressing climate change requires collective action, sustainable practices, and the development and adoption of cleaner and renewable energy sources to mitigate the impact on the environment and future generations.
