Q. Read the following passage:
The world is experiencing rapid climate change due to human activities. Deforestation, industrial
emissions, and excessive use of fossil fuels have led to rising global temperatures. Scientists warn that
if immediate actions are not taken, severe consequences such as rising sea levels, extreme weather
conditions, and biodiversity loss will become inevitable.
To combat climate change, governments and individuals must work together. Renewable energy
sources like solar and wind power should replace fossil fuels. Afforestation programs and sustainable
living practices can also contribute significantly to reducing carbon footprints. While some countries
have pledged to reduce emissions, much more needs to be done at a global level.
Public awareness and education play a crucial role in addressing climate change. Schools and
communities should promote eco-friendly practices, encouraging people to conserve energy, reduce
waste, and adopt sustainable habits. Only through collective efforts can humanity hope to mitigate the
effects of climate change and ensure a better future for future generations.
