Greenhouse gases trap heat, leading to a gradual increase in global temperatures, known as global warming.
Higher temperatures cause polar ice caps and glaciers to melt, contributing to rising sea levels, endangering coastal areas.
Climate change intensifies and increases the frequency of extreme weather events, including hurricanes, droughts, floods, and wildfires.
Altered climate patterns disrupt ecosystems, affecting biodiversity, migration patterns, and the availability of resources.
Mitigation involves reducing greenhouse gas emissions, while adaptation focuses on preparing communities for the unavoidable impacts of climate change
