What is Climate change?
Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather
patterns. These shifts may be natural, such as through variations in the solar
cycle. But since the 1800s, human activities have been the main driver of
climate change, primarily due to burning fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas.
Burning fossil fuels generates greenhouse gas emissions that act like a
blanket wrapped around the Earth, trapping the sun’s heat and raising
temperatures.
How is it affecting people?
Climate change impacts are seen throughout every aspect of the world we

live in. However, climate change impacts are uneven across the country and
the world — even within a single community, climate change impacts can
differ between neighborhoods or individuals.
Drought can harm food production and human health. Flooding can lead to
Planting buffer strips - they are used to reduce the amounts of nutrients reaching water bodies
from runoff or leaching. They usually take the form of vegetated strips of land alongside water
