Human activities increasingly emit greenhouse gases, which build up in the atmosphere and
warm the climate and lead to many changes around the world: in the atmosphere, on land and
in the oceans. Many of these changes have positively and negatively affect people, society and
the environment, including plants and animals. Major greenhouse gases remain in the
atmosphere for dozens (and even hundreds) of years, so their warming effects on the climate
last for a long time, affecting both present and future generations. Climate change
encompasses not only global warming, i.e. the rising average temperature, but also extreme
weather events, shifting wildlife populations and habitats, rising seas and various other
impacts. Warmer temperatures mean that there are more and more insects that spread diseases
and that heat waves are getting more lethal to humans. Droughts and floods resulting from
climate change also pose great threats to agriculture. A recent study shows that for every rise
of one degree Celsius crop yields will go down 3 to 7 percent, severely affecting food
insecurity.
