Impacts of Climate Change

The impacts of climate change are already visible globally. Extreme weather events such as hurricanes, floods, and droughts are becoming more frequent and intense. The Arctic and Antarctic ice caps are melting at an accelerated rate, causing sea levels to rise and threatening coastal communities. Climate change also affects agricultural production, increasing food insecurity, and poses health risks, including the spread of infectious diseases.
