The Climate Crisis

Understanding the challenges and taking action to secure our planet's future.

What is the Climate Crisis?

The climate crisis refers to the significant and long-term changes in global and regional climate patterns due to human activities. Key contributors include the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, industrialization, and unsustainable agricultural practices. This crisis manifests in the form of global warming, extreme weather events, and environmental degradation.

According to the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), global temperatures have already risen by 1.2°C compared to pre-industrial levels. If no action is taken, the consequences could be catastrophic.

Why Does It Matter?

Increased frequency and intensity of natural disasters like hurricanes, floods, and droughts.
Rising sea levels threatening coastal cities and islands.
Extinction of species and loss of biodiversity.
Severe health risks due to heatwaves, air pollution, and disease outbreaks.
