Climate change: Climate change is a global crisis caused by the emission of

greenhouse gases from human activities like burning fossil fuels, deforestation,
and industrial processes. It is leading to rising temperatures, extreme weather
events, and the melting of polar ice caps.

Biodiversity loss: The loss of biodiversity is a major environmental issue as it

leads to a reduction in the number of species and habitats. This has a cascading
effect on ecosystems and can also disrupt food chains.

Water scarcity: Fresh water is a finite resource, and increasing demands from
agriculture, industry, and growing populations are putting strain on water
resources. Water scarcity affects not only developing countries but also developed
ones.

Plastic pollution: Plastic pollution is a major environmental issue as plastic

takes hundreds of years to decompose, and plastic waste often ends up in oceans,
causing harm to marine life.

Air pollution: Air pollution is caused by human activities such as burning fossil
fuels, industrial processes, and deforestation. It leads to respiratory problems,
heart disease, and other health problems, and it also contributes to climate
change.

Soil degradation: Soil degradation is caused by human activities such as over-

farming, deforestation, and urbanization. It reduces the fertility of the soil and
can lead to erosion, desertification, and decreased food security.
