Climate change refers to long-term shifts in weather patterns due to global warming caused by human-induced greenhouse gas emissions and natural factors. It is defined as the change in usual weather conditions of temperature, rainfall, etc. over a period of time in a particular region. Climate change impacts include more frequent extreme weather events like hurricanes, rising sea levels, ocean acidification, and threats to human health and ecosystems. Recommended measures to mitigate climate change involve using renewable energy, reducing deforestation, minimizing waste, and increasing public awareness of the issue.

• The change in the weather pattern of a place over a longer
period of time.
• It includes the change in the usual weather, temperature,
rainfall (etc.).
• In the context of Nepal, it is very sensitive in regard to
climate change. Sources to Cause It • Increase in the temperature of the earth due to Global Warming and Green House Effect.
• Release of Greenhouse Gases from industries directly in the
atmosphere.
• Increment in the amount of carbon dioxide because of
immoderate deforestation.
• Emission of harmful gases and smokes from volcanic eruption
in large amount. Effects to be Observed • Frequent change and rise in the temperature of the atmosphere of the earth.
• Warming of oceans leads to ocean acidification and impacts
aquatic life.
• Causes more frequent and intense natural disasters such as
hurricane (etc.).
• Impacts human health and may put the lives of various plants and animals at risk. Measures to be Applied • Encouragement of the use of renewable and alternative sources of energy.
• Plantation of vegetations in barren lands and vacant places
and declining deforestation.
• Reducing the wastes, reusing them in all possible ways and
recycling the materials.
• Spreading knowledge and concerns of climate change, it’s
