This document discusses various "Faces of Climate Change" that are already being impacted by its effects. It describes people from places experiencing issues like rising sea levels in the Maldives, prolonged drought ruining crops in Kansas, and empty fishing nets in Niger River. Other examples highlighted include a child who lost their home after Superstorm Sandy in New Jersey, a woman in Bangladesh struggling to get fresh water due to more frequent flooding, a polar bear affected by melting Arctic ice, and an orangutan facing more frequent fires and droughts in Indonesian forests. However, it also notes that "other faces of climate change" include entrepreneurs working on green solutions, activists organizing campaigns, engineers developing clean technologies, public servants passing climate laws

The Face of Climate Change

3. Faces of Climate
Change
Climate change can seem to be
like a remote problem for our
leaders, but the fact is that it's
already impacting real people,
animals, and beloved places.
These Faces of Climate Change
are multiplying every day.
Fortunately, other Faces of
Climate Change are multiplying
too: those stepping up to do
something about it.
