Climate change refers to significant alterations in global or regional climate patterns, particularly those related to an increase in average temperatures on Earth. This phenomenon is primarily driven by human activities, especially the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes, which enhance the greenhouse effect by increasing the concentration of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere. The consequences of climate change include rising sea levels, more frequent and severe weather events, changes in precipitation patterns, and disruptions to ecosystems and biodiversity. Addressing climate change involves both mitigation strategies to reduce emissions and adaptation measures to cope with its impacts.
