Environment and Climate Change

The environment encompasses the complex web of living organisms, ecosystems, and physical elements that sustain life on Earth. In recent times, the term has become closely linked to a pressing global concern: climate change. Climate change refers to long-term alterations in temperature, precipitation, and other atmospheric conditions on Earth. Human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, contribute to the emission of greenhouse gases, intensifying the natural greenhouse effect and leading to global warming. The consequences of climate change include rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and disruptions to ecosystems, posing significant challenges to biodiversity, human societies, and the overall health of the planet.
