Climate change (sometimes called global warming) is the process of our planet heating up. Our planet has already warmed by an average of 1°C in the last 100 years and if things don’t change, it could increase by a lot more than that.
To understand climate change, it is crucial to use a scientific definition of climate, understand the difference between weather and climate, and study changes in the state of the climate that persist for an extended period. It is also important to understand how the natural factors such as latitude, altitude, reflectivity of
Climate change science seeks to understand the physical, chemical, biological and geological processes, and the interactions among these processes, that produce climate. The scales of interest range from local to global and from weeks or months to millions of years. Changes in climate, both temporally and spatially,
Climate change is altering temperature, precipitation, and sea levels, and will adversely impact human and natural systems, including water resources, human settlements and health, ecosystems, and biodiversity.
• Climate Change Today: what changes have already occurred and how we know humans are responsible; • Our Future Climate: what changes could happen in the future depending on the actions we take; • Limiting Future Climate Change: what is required to stop global temperature from continuing to rise.
The impacts of climate change on people and nature are increasingly apparent. Unprecedented flooding, heat waves, and wildfires have cost billions in damages. Habitats are undergoing rapid shifts in response to changing temperatures and precipitation patterns.
This SPM provides a high-level summary of the understanding of the current state of the climate, including how it is changing and the role of human influence, the state of knowledge about possible climate futures, climate information relevant to regions and sectors,
