Land Resource and Climate Change

Land resources refer to the world's land area, which provides space for agriculture, forests, cities, and ecosystems. Climate change involves long-term shifts in weather patterns caused mainly by human activities releasing greenhouse gases. These changes impact land resources by causing shifts in agriculture productivity, erosion, desertification, and loss of biodiversity. For example, rising temperatures can make some areas less suitable for farming or lead to more frequent natural disasters. Managing land sustainably and reducing greenhouse gas emissions are essential to protect ecosystems, ensure food security, and adapt to a changing climate.
