Climate Change
Understanding the Crisis and Our
Role in Action
Introduction
• Climate change refers to long-term shifts in
temperatures and weather patterns. It is
driven largely by human activities, particularly
the burning of fossil fuels, which increases
greenhouse gas concentrations in the
atmosphere.
Causes of Climate Change
• - Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil, gas)
• - Deforestation
• - Industrial processes
• - Agricultural practices
• - Waste management and pollution
Impacts of Climate Change
• - Rising global temperatures
• - Melting ice caps and rising sea levels
• - Extreme weather events (storms, floods,
droughts)
• - Threats to biodiversity
• - Risks to human health and food security
Solutions and Mitigation
• - Transition to renewable energy (solar, wind,
hydro)
• - Energy efficiency and conservation
• - Reforestation and sustainable land use
• - Sustainable agriculture
• - Global cooperation and climate policies
What Can We Do?
• - Reduce, reuse, recycle
• - Conserve energy and water
• - Use sustainable transport (walking, biking,
public transit)
• - Support eco-friendly businesses
• - Raise awareness and advocate for policies
Conclusion
• Climate change is the defining challenge of our
time. By taking collective action and adopting
sustainable practices, we can mitigate its
effects and ensure a livable planet for future
generations.
