Climate and Water

Climate refers to the long-term patterns of weather in a region, including temperature, humidity, and precipitation, shaping the environment over years or decades. Water emphasizes the vital role of freshwater resources—rivers, lakes, groundwater—in supporting ecosystems, agriculture, and human life. Together, climate influences how water varies across time and space, affecting availability and quality. Changes in climate, such as global warming, can lead to altered weather patterns, impacting water supply, increasing risks of droughts or floods, and threatening ecological balance and human well-being. Managing climate and water sustainably is essential for a resilient and healthy planet.
