These actions release greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere, trapping heat and leading to a gradual rise in Earths average temperature. The consequences are far-reaching: melting ice caps, rising sea levels, extreme weather events, loss of biodiversity, and threats to human health and food security. While climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time, collective global actionthrough sustainable practices, renewable energy, and environmental protectionoffers hope for reducing its impact and safeguarding the planet for future generations.Causes of Climate ChangeE ffe cts of Clim ate Chan ge E nvir o nm en ta l Dis ru ptio n The planet is experiencing widespread environmental changes due to a warming climate.
