    The Urgent Crisis of

    Climate Change
    The world is facing an unprecedented climate crisis, with rising global
    temperatures, melting glaciers, and extreme weather events posing a growing
    threat to our planet and its inhabitants. Urgent action is needed to mitigate the
    causes and adapt to the devastating impacts.

    Causes of Climate Change
    1 Fossil Fuels
    Burning of oil, gas, and coal for energy production is the
    primary driver of climate change.

    2 Deforestation
    Clearing of forests and other vegetation reduces the planet's
    ability to absorb and store carbon dioxide.

    3 Agricultural Practices
    Certain agricultural activities, such as livestock farming and
    rice cultivation, contribute significantly to greenhouse gas
    emissions.

    United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change


    The international treaty that provides a framework for global cooperation on
    climate change mitigation and adaptation.

    Paris Agreement
    A landmark international agreement that aims to limit global temperature rise
    to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels.

    Emissions Reductions
    Many countries have set targets to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions,
    often through a combination of policies and technologies.
    Innovative Solutions and
    Technologies
    Renewable Energy
    1 Transitioning to clean, renewable energy sources, such as solar,
    wind, and hydropower, is crucial to reducing emissions.

    Carbon Capture
    2 Technologies that capture and store carbon dioxide can help
    remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.

    Sustainable Practices
    3 Adopting sustainable practices in areas like transportation,
    agriculture, and industry can significantly lower emissions.
