Climate impacts research focuses on understanding and predicting the effects of climate change on various aspects of the environment, society, and economy. This interdisciplinary field explores how changing weather patterns, rising temperatures, sea level rise, extreme weather events, and other climate-related phenomena impact ecosystems, natural resources, human health, food and water security, infrastructure, and vulnerable populations. Climate impacts research also seeks to identify strategies for adaptation and mitigation to reduce the negative consequences of climate change and build resilience to its effects. This area of study is crucial for informing policy decisions, planning for the future, and addressing the challenges posed by a rapidly changing climate.
