Climate change impacts refer to the various effects of global warming and the changing climate on the environment, ecosystems, and human societies. These impacts can manifest in a range of ways, including rising temperatures, more frequent and severe weather events such as storms and droughts, melting ice caps and glaciers, rising sea levels, changes in precipitation patterns, and shifts in ecosystems and biodiversity. These impacts have far-reaching consequences for both natural and human systems, leading to disruptions in food and water security, increased risk of natural disasters, loss of biodiversity, and threats to human health and well-being. Climate change impacts are a major focus of scientific research, as understanding and mitigating these effects is crucial for creating a sustainable future for our planet.
