Understanding Climate Change and Its Impact
Introduction
Climate change refers to long-term changes in temperature,
precipitation, and other atmospheric conditions. It poses
significant global challenges, impacting ecosystems, weather
patterns, and human activities. This presentation will explore its
definition, global effects, and individual actions for mitigation.

Climate change is primarily driven by human
activities, notably the burning of fossil fuels,
deforestation, and industrial processes. These
actions increase the concentration of greenhouse
gases in the atmosphere, leading to global
warming and atmospheric changes.

Rising Sea Levels
Rising sea levels are a major consequence of climate change,
driven by melting ice caps and glaciers, as well as the thermal
expansion of seawater. Coastal areas face increased flooding,
ecosystem loss, and displacement of populations, posing a
significant risk to infrastructure and economies.
