Climate Change
Climate change refers to the long-term alteration of Earth’s climate, primarily driven by human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation and industrial agriculture, which increase greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere.
Rising global temperatures have contributed to more frequent and intense heatwaves, droughts, floods, wildfires, melting ice sheets and rising sea levels, making climate change one of the defining environmental, political and economic challenges of the 21st century.
The issue has also become a major focus in science, international policy, business and popular culture.

More About Climate Change
Climate change refers to long-term changes in Earth's climate, largely caused by human activities that increase greenhouse gas emissions, leading to rising global temperatures and changes in weather patterns.
The primary cause of modern climate change is the release of greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels, deforestation, industrial processes and agriculture. These gases trap heat in the atmosphere, warming the planet.
Climate change affects ecosystems, biodiversity, food and water security, human health and economies around the world. Addressing it through emissions reductions, adaptation and sustainable practices is considered one of the most significant global challenges of the 21st century.
