Klimaatverandering

Klimaatverandering, or climate change, refers to significant and lasting changes in the Earth’s climate patterns, particularly those related to temperature, precipitation, and other atmospheric conditions. It is primarily driven by human activities, particularly the emission of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane, resulting from fossil fuel combustion, deforestation, and industrial processes. Climate change impacts global temperatures, leading to phenomena such as increased frequency of extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and shifts in ecosystems and wildlife habitats. It poses significant challenges to natural systems and human society, affecting agriculture, water supply, health, and economic stability. Addressing climate change requires global cooperation and strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote sustainability.
