The consequences of climate change are far-reaching and impact various aspects of
ecosystems, economies, and societies worldwide. Rising global temperatures have resulted
in melting glaciers and ice caps, leading to sea-level rise and threatening coastal
communities with increased flooding and erosion. Changes in precipitation patterns have
led to more frequent and intense droughts, heatwaves, wildfires, and storms, affecting
agriculture, water resources, and human settlements.
The warming climate also disrupts ecosystems, causing shifts in plant and animal habitats,
migration patterns, and species extinction risks. Coral reefs, forests, and marine ecosystems
face bleaching, degradation, and loss due to changing ocean temperatures, acidification,
and habitat destruction. These environmental changes have profound implications for
biodiversity, food security, and ecosystem services essential for human well-being.
