Climate Change and Population Impact

Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns, largely driven by human activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation. These changes can cause extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and disruptions to ecosystems. As the global population increases, the demand for resources like food, water, and energy intensifies, exacerbating climate issues. More people mean more emissions and greater strain on the environment, leading to a cycle of challenges that affect human health, livelihoods, and biodiversity. Understanding this interconnection is crucial for developing sustainable solutions for both people and the planet.
