Page 1 - Introduction Climate change is one of the most pressing challenges facing humanity today.
It refers to long-term shifts in temperature, weather patterns, and environmental conditions, largely
driven by human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation. The consequences of
climate change are already visible across the world, demanding urgent global attention.
Page 2 - Causes of Climate Change The primary cause of climate change is the increase of
greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide trap heat,
leading to a rise in global temperatures. Deforestation, industrialization, and excessive reliance on
fossil fuels have accelerated this process, making the situation more severe.
Page 3 - Environmental Impacts Climate change affects natural systems in multiple ways. It causes
rising sea levels due to melting glaciers, extreme weather events such as hurricanes and droughts,
and loss of biodiversity. Ecosystems are struggling to adapt to rapid changes, threatening the
survival of countless species.
Page 4 - Human and Economic Impacts Communities around the world face direct consequences
of climate change. Agriculture is disrupted by unpredictable weather, leading to food insecurity.
Health risks increase due to heatwaves, poor air quality, and the spread of diseases. Economically,
nations bear the burden of disaster recovery and adapting infrastructure to withstand
climate-related challenges.
Page 5 - Conclusion In conclusion, climate change is not just an environmental issue—it is a global
crisis with social, economic, and political dimensions. Addressing it requires collective efforts such
as adopting renewable energy, sustainable practices, and international cooperation. Protecting the
planet is a shared responsibility, ensuring a livable Earth for future generations.
