"Understanding

Global Warming
and Climate
Change"
"A Brief Overview"
 WHAT IS GLOBAL WARMING?

“Global warming refers to the long-term

increase in Earth's average surface
temperature.”
• Greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere.
• Human activities (burning fossil fuels, deforestation) contribute to
increased greenhouse gas emissions.
Consequences of Global
Warming
• Rising sea levels
• Extreme weather events
• Impact on ecosystems and biodiversity
Climate Change Impact
• "Climate change encompasses broader shifts in
weather patterns and conditions."
• Altered precipitation patterns
• Changes in ecosystems and habitats
• Effects on agriculture and food security
 MITIGATION AND
ADAPTATION
• Mitigation: "Efforts to reduce or prevent the emission of
greenhouse gases."
• Examples: Renewable energy, energy efficiency,
afforestation
• Adaptation: "Adjustments to social, economic, and
environmental practices to minimize the damage caused
by climate change."
• Examples: Infrastructure improvements, water
management
"Addressing climate change is a collective
responsibility."
