Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. Human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas.

Individual Actions: 1. Reduce energy consumption: Use energy-efficient appliances, turn off lights and electronics when not in use. 2. Use renewable energy: Invest in solar panels or renewable energy credits. 3. Conserve water: Take shorter showers, fix leaks. 4. Reduce meat consumption: Choose plant-based diets. 5.

1. Rising Sea Levels: Melting glaciers and ice sheets cause sea levels to rise, leading to coastal erosion and flooding. 2. Extreme Weather Events: Increased frequency and intensity of heatwaves, droughts, and heavy rainfall. 3. Water Scarcity: Changes in precipitation patterns and increased evaporation due to warmer temperatures. 4. Loss of Biodiversity: Rising temperatures and altered ecosystems threaten extinction for many plant and animal species. 5. Ocean Acidification: Increased CO2 absorption by oceans, harming marine life.
