Climate Change
Climate change is a pressing global issue that has garnered increasing attention in recent decades. Characterized by alterations in temperature patterns, precipitation, and sea levels, its impacts are far-reaching and multifaceted. From extreme weather events to shifts in ecosystems and threats to biodiversity, the repercussions of climate change are felt across the planet. Scientific consensus attributes much of this change to human activities, particularly the emission of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. Addressing climate change requires urgent and coordinated efforts at local, national, and international levels to mitigate its effects and adapt to the evolving environmental conditions.
