Climate change refers to changes in temperature and weather patterns over a long period of time
Burning of fossil fuels
The burning of fossil fuels, such as coal and oil, is a major contributor to climate change
Deforestation
Deforestation, or the clearing of forests, is another human activity that contributes to climate change
Industrial processes
Industrial processes, such as manufacturing, also contribute to climate change
Climate change has led to more frequent and severe weather events, melting glaciers, rising sea levels, and shifts in wildlife populations and habitats
Carbon dioxide is the most significant greenhouse gas contributing to human-induced climate change
Combustion of fossil fuels
The combustion of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, is the main source of CO2 emissions
Industrial processes
Industrial processes also contribute to CO2 emissions
The carbon footprint is a measure of the total emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases, often expressed in terms of CO2 equivalents
International policies and agreements are crucial in the fight against climate change
Sustainable transportation and renewable energy
Countries like the United Kingdom have adopted measures to promote sustainable transportation and increase the use of renewable energy
Risk management and adaptation strategies
Countries are also implementing strategies to manage the risks of flooding and secure future water supplies
Competing economic interests and political ideologies can complicate efforts to address climate change
Climate justice advocates for fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people in the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws and policies
Climate justice seeks to address the inequities that arise from the uneven distribution of climate change impacts and the resources available to cope with them
Inclusive strategies, such as the Nature 2030 campaign, emphasize the link between environmental health and human rights and advocate for fair resource allocation, adherence to environmental laws, and gender equality in sustainability efforts
