Climate Change
Climate change is a pressing global issue with far-reaching consequences. In this
presentation, we will explore the causes, impacts, and strategies to mitigate and
adapt to this environmental challenge.
Causes of Climate Change
1 Greenhouse Gas Emissions
The burning of fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, trapping heat
in the atmosphere.
2 Deforestation
Massive deforestation disrupts the carbon cycle, reducing the Earth's capacity to absorb CO2
and contributing to global warming.
3 Industrial Activities
Industrial processes like manufacturing and mining release greenhouse gases and pollutants
that exacerbate climate change.
Impacts of Climate Change
1 Rising Temperatures
Higher global temperatures lead to the melting of glaciers, heatwaves, and disruption of
ecosystems.
2 Extreme Weather Events
Climate change intensifies hurricanes, droughts, floods, and wildfires, endangering lives and
livelihoods.
3 Sea-Level Rise
Melting ice sheets and thermal expansion of seawater contribute to the rise in sea levels,
threatening coastal communities.
