Biodiversity and Climate Change

Biodiversity refers to the variety of life on Earth, including all different species, their genes, and ecosystems. Climate change, driven mainly by human activities like burning fossil fuels, is causing global temperatures to rise. This shift disrupts habitats, threatening plants, animals, and entire ecosystems, leading to loss of biodiversity. As species struggle to adapt or survive, ecological balance weakens, impacting human life too—affecting food, health, and livelihoods. Protecting biodiversity and addressing climate change are vital for maintaining a healthy, resilient planet for current and future generations.
