    The Science Behind Global Warming

    Certain gases in the atmosphere trap heat from the Increased emissions from burning fossil fuels,

    planet, making life possible. greenhouse effect, causing global warming.
    Causes of Climate Change
    1 Fossil Fuel Burning 2 Deforestation
    Burning coal, oil, and gas Trees absorb carbon

    atmospheric CO2.

    3 Agriculture
    Livestock raising and agricultural practices release methane
    and nitrous oxide, contributing significantly to greenhouse
    gas emissions.

    ecosystems. waves, and wildfires,
    increasing risks and
    damages.

    Ocean Acidification
    Increased CO2 absorption by oceans leads to acidification,
    threatening marine life and coral reefs, disrupting marine
    ecosystems.
    Impacts on Human Health and
    Society

    Respiratory Problems
    Air pollution from climate change can lead to respiratory illnesses, asthma, and
    cardiovascular diseases.

    Water Scarcity
    Droughts and water shortages caused by climate change can lead to food insecurity
    and conflicts over water resources.

    Forced Migration
    Climate change disrupts livelihoods and habitats, forcing people to migrate to escape
    environmental degradation and its consequences.
    Global Efforts to Combat
    Climate Change
    1 Paris Agreement (2015)
    An international agreement to limit global warming to well
    below 2 degrees Celsius, ideally to 1.5 degrees Celsius,
    compared to pre-industrial levels.

    2 United Nations Climate Change Conferences (COP)


    Annual conferences where countries negotiate and
    implement measures to address climate change.

    3 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)


    A set of 17 global goals adopted by the UN to achieve a more
    sustainable future for all, including tackling climate change.
    Individual Actions for a
    Sustainable Future
    Reduce Carbon Footprint
    Use public transportation, walk, bike, or carpool. Conserve
    energy at home and in your daily life.

    Support Sustainable Businesses


    Choose products and services from companies committed
    to sustainability, environmental responsibility, and ethical
    practices.

    Advocate for Change


    Raise awareness about climate change, engage in political
    action, and support organizations working to address the
    crisis.
    Conclusion and Call to
    Action
    Climate change is a complex issue with far-reaching consequences,
    but it is also a challenge we can overcome. By understanding the
    science, recognizing the urgency, and taking individual and
    collective action, we can create a sustainable future for all.
