Climate impacts

Climate impacts refer to the various ways in which changes in the Earth's climate affect the environment, societies, and economies. These include more frequent and severe weather events like storms, droughts, and floods, which can damage communities and disrupt agriculture. Rising temperatures also lead to melting glaciers and rising sea levels, threatening coastal areas. Additionally, shifting climate patterns affect ecosystems and wildlife, and can lead to health issues. Overall, climate impacts pose significant challenges that require understanding and action to reduce risks and adapt to these changes effectively.
