Climate change is the disruption in the long-term seasonal weather patterns. It's caused
by global warming. The temperature has risen by around 1 degree Celsius, or 1.9 degrees
Fahrenheit, since the 1880s. This is a much faster rate than at any other time in the Earth’s
history. It's true that climate change is nothing new in Earth's history. But previous changes has
occurred over millions of years, not decades. In addition, the oceans absorbed most of the
added CO2 from the atmosphere. In response, they’ve become 30% more acidic since the
beginning of the Industrial Revolution.

Around 20% of carbon dioxide which is emitted due to human activities can remain in the
atmosphere for many thousands of years. The long time scales and uncertainty associated
with global warming have led analysts to develop "scenarios" of future environmental, social
and economic changes. Did you know that extreme weather has cost $1.6 trillion. Munich Re,
the world's largest reinsurance firm, blamed climate change for $24 billion of losses in the
California wildfires.

The UN secretary general once said ”I have asked you here to sound the alarm .Climate
change is the defining issue of our time – and we are at a defining moment . We face a direct
existential threat. Climate change is moving faster than we are – and its speed has provoked
a sonic boom SOS across our world”

Some important UN groups are

IPCC - Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change

UNFCCC - UN Framework Convention on Climate Change

UNEP - United Nations Environment Programme - Climate Change

 Climate change in Indonesia is of particular significance, because its enormous coastal
population is particularly at risk to sea level rise and because the livelihoods of so many of its
people depend on agriculture, mariculture and fishing, all of which could be severely impacted
by temperature, rainfall and other climactic changes. The Indonesian government has
voluntarily committed to a minimum 26 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by
2020 and by 29 percent by 2030.

The Indonesian government is committed to reducing greenhouse gases. We are taking

adequate measures to reduce the greenhouse gases produced by cars and factories.The
Indonesian government has vowed to provide fiscal incentives for EVs(electronic
vehicles).The government supports an dis welcome to foreign investments to helpcurb
