Climate Change and Our Future

Climate change is one of the greatest environmental threats facing the world. As a result of the increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, our planet is warming, climate conditions are changing and natural balances are disrupted.

Impacts of Climate Change

Climate change has many negative effects. Among these:

• Rising temperatures
• Extreme weather events (hurricanes, floods, droughts)
• Glacier melting and sea level rise
• Extinction of plant and animal species
• Decrease in clean water resources

Combating Climate Change

To combat climate change, steps need to be taken at individual and social levels. These steps include:

• Use of sustainable energy resources
• Increasing energy efficiency
• Afforestation and prevention of deforestation
• Improving recycling and waste management
• Choosing environmentally friendly means of transportation

Importance for Our Future

If we do not effectively combat climate change, our future will be in serious danger. We may encounter more environmental disasters, food shortages may occur as agricultural lands become inefficient, and the lives of millions of people may be negatively affected.

It is our responsibility to be aware of climate change, to act environmentally sensitive and to develop sustainable living habits.
