Climate change is the long-term, rapid alteration of Earth’s average weather patterns, driven primarily by human activities like burning fossil fuels, which releases greenhouse gases that trap heat and cause global warming. The consequences include more frequent and intense extreme weather events, rising sea levels, threats to biodiversity, human health impacts like malnutrition and heat stress, food and water scarcity, and displacement. Addressing climate change requires reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to its unavoidable impacts.
