What is climate
change?
Climate change refers to long-term changes in the Earth’s
climate, especially a rise in global temperatures.

Primarily driven by human activities such as the burning of fossil


fuels (coal, oil, and gas), which release greenhouse
gases into the atmosphere.

Also influenced by natural processes like volcanic eruptions and


solar variations, but human impact has accelerated the
process.

Affects weather patterns, sea levels, and ecosystems across the


world.
THE SCIENCE
BEHIND CLIMATE
CHANGE
THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT

The greenhouse effect is the process by which the


Earth’s atmosphere traps heat, keeping the planet
warm enough to support life.

How it works:
Sunlight enters Earth’s atmosphere and heats
the surface.
Earth’s surface radiates heat (infrared
radiation) back toward space.
Greenhouse gases absorb and re-radiate
some of this heat, trapping it in the
atmosphere.

What can we do?

1. SHIFT TO RENEWABLE ENERGY


Wind, solar, and hydroelectric power reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
Promote energy efficiency in homes, industries, and transportation.
2. SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE & FORESTRY
Adopt regenerative farming to reduce emissions.
Stop deforestation and promote reforestation to absorb CO₂.
3. CARBON CAPTURE & STORAGE (CCS)
Technology that captures CO₂ emissions from sources like power
plants and stores it underground.
4. PROMOTE A CIRCULAR ECONOMY
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle to minimize waste and conserve resources.
Transition to eco-friendly products and low-carbon lifestyles.
5. POLICY & INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION
Enforce stronger carbon pricing (e.g., carbon taxes, cap-and-trade
systems).
Support global agreements like the Paris Agreement to cut
emissions and fund climate adaptation in vulnerable areas.
CONCLUSION
Climate change is real, and it's happening now. Its effects—
rising temperatures, extreme weather, and environmental
destruction—are already being felt globally.
Human activities are the main drivers of climate change, but
we also have the power to reverse its course.
Global cooperation and individual actions are key to tackling
the crisis. Transitioning to renewable energy, sustainable
practices, and reducing carbon footprints can make a
difference.
The time to act is now. The choices we make today will shape
the future of our planet for generations to come.
