Introduction to climate
change
•Climate change is a global phenomenon
that affects the environment . Climate change
refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and
weather patterns. It is caused by a variety of
factors, including human activity, natural
processes, and a changing climate.
•The effects of climate change can be seen in
extreme weather events, rising sea levels,
and changes to ecosystems. It is a complex
and multifaceted issue, and one that
requires urgent action to mitigate its effects.
Causes of climate
change
•Climate change is caused by a variety of factors,
including human activity, natural processes, and a
changing climate. Human activities, such as burning
fossil fuels and deforestation, are the main cause of
climate change.

•Natural processes, such as volcanic eruptions and


changes in the Earth's orbit, also contribute to
climate change. It is important to understand the
causes of climate change in order to develop effective
strategies to mitigate its effects.

Impacts of Climate
change
•Climate change has a wide range of impacts on
the environment, including rising sea levels,
changes in weather patterns, and the extinction
of species. It also affects human life, with
increased health risks, economic losses, and
social disruption.

•The effects of climate change are already being


felt around the world, and they are projected to
increase in the future. It is essential that we take
action now to mitigate the worst impacts of
climate change and protect our planet.

Flooding 
•Climate change is leading to more
frequent and intense floods, with
devastating effects on people and
communities.

•Rising sea levels, melting glaciers, and


changing weather patterns are all
contributing to more frequent and
intense floods.
Sea level change
Sea levels are rising due to the melting of
glaciers and ice caps, and this causes
changes in the ocean's circulation patterns
and temperature, which in turn cause more
extreme weather events.

Rising sea levels can also cause flooding and


coastal erosion, leading to displacement of
people and destruction of habitats.
Droughts
•A drought is defined as drier than normal conditions.
This means that a drought is "a moisture deficit
relative to the average water availability at a given
location and season“

•Climate change is leading to more frequent and


longer-lasting droughts in many parts of the world.

•Droughts can lead to water shortages, crop failure,


and increased wildfires, threatening livelihoods and
ecosystems.
Mitigation strategies
•There are a number of strategies that can be
used to mitigate the effects of climate change.
These include reducing emissions of greenhouse
gases, increasing energy efficiency, and protecting
ecosystems.
•It is also important to engage in adaptation
strategies, such as developing infrastructure that
is resilient to the effects of climate change. It is
essential that we take action now to mitigate the
worst impacts of climate change and protect our
planet.
