Climate change refers to long-term changes in temperature and weather patterns, primarily driven by human activities such as burning fossil fuels. Its effects include rising global temperatures, health risks, food and water disruption, and economic impacts like job disruption and increased costs. Collective action and sustainable measures are essential to mitigate these impacts and protect the planet for future generations.

What is Climate
Change?
Climate change refers to long term changes
in temperature and weather patterns around
the world. While these changes can occur
naturally, human activities such as the
burning of fossil fuels are accelerating this
process significantly.
Causes of
Climate Change
The main cause of climate change is the
increase in greenhouse gas emissions
such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and
methane (CH4). The main sources include
the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation,
and intensive agriculture.
EFFECTS ON OUR PLANET
Environmental impacts of climate
change include rising global
temperatures, melting polar ice caps,
rising sea levels, and changing weather
patterns.
how DOES CLIMATE CHANGE
AFFECT US?
HEALTH RISKS
Rising temperatures increase
the risk of heat-related
illnesses, particularly for
older adults, young children,
and outdoor workers.
Higher temperatures can lead
to worsened air quality due
to pollution and wildfires,
aggravating respiratory
conditions like asthma and
allergies.
Food and water
disruption
Changing weather patterns,
droughts, and floods reduce crop
yields, affecting food availability
and prices.
Warming oceans and acidification
harm marine life, affecting fisheries
that are a primary food source for
many communities.
Rising temperatures can reduce
freshwater sources, and droughts
make water even scarcer in already
arid regions, affecting millions who
rely on these sources for drinking
and agriculture.
ECONOMIC IMPACTS
Job Disruption
Climate events, such as hurricanes and
droughts, disrupt local economies by
destroying infrastructure, homes, and
businesses.
Increased Costs
Communities face higher costs related
to health care, disaster relief, and
infrastructure repair, and individuals
see rising costs in food and water.
Insurance and Property
In regions prone to extreme weather,
insurance premiums rise, and property
values decrease, creating financial
stress.
WHAT CAN WE DO?
Reduce Carbon Emissions from Energy
Use
Shift to solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal
power sources to replace coal, oil, natural gas
and use energy-efficient appliances.

Reduce Industrial Emissions and Waste

single-use plastics.
WITNESS HOW THE CLIMATE CHANGE IS HURTING OUR PLANET
Climate change is a global
challenge that requires
collective action.
By raising awareness and
adopting sustainable
measures, we can protect the
planet for future generations.
