implications

Climate change is one of the biggest challenges facing humanity today. It is altering landscapes, threatening biodiversity and even affecting human health. The changes in global weather patterns resulting from industrialization have been causing considerable disruption to the climate system, contributing to rising sea levels, melting glaciers, droughts, extreme weather events and other ecological effects. In order to reduce the potential damage from these climate changes, and to prevent worse ones from happening in the future, we must understand the causes, impacts and solutions to this global issue. Solutions range from renewable energy sources, reducing fossil fuel use, increasing natural resource efficiency, protecting ecosystems, and adaptation and mitigation strategies. It is clear that swift action and behavioral changes are essential to ensure our future generations can live in an environment with healthy climate and ecosystems.
