Introduction to Climate Change
Climate change is a pressing global issue
2
Rising Temperatures and Extinction
- 1°C increase in temperature can lead to 10-30% species extinction
- Polar bears, coral reefs, and amphibians are highly vulnerable
- Habitat destruction and fragmentation accelerate extinction
3
Disruption of Food Chains and Ecosystems
- Changes in species distribution alter food webs
- Phenological mismatches affect pollination and reproduction
- Trophic cascades have devastating ecosystem consequences
4
Consequences for Human Health and Economy
- Climate change increases disease spread and heat stress
- Economic losses from climate-related disasters are rising
- Sustainable practices can mitigate these effects
5
Taking Action: Mitigation and Adaptation
- Transitioning to renewable energy sources is key
- Ecosystem restoration and conservation efforts are essential
- International cooperation is necessary for effective climate action
