- 4. Climate change Unfortunately, itis happening at a very fast pace, so it is necessary to learn more about this issue and act There is an alteration of the Earth's temperature, damaging ecosystems and human beings Climate change, according to the United Nations, is the long-term changes in temperatures and weather patterns in the Earth
- 5. Although planet Earthhas undergone several changes in its history, the era with the most changes began with the appearance of human beings. Human beings are the ones who have brought a great global imbalance caused by wars, revolutions, irresponsibility in the use of resources, contamination, etc. All these factors have generated very serious environmental problems, one of them being global warming, which leads to climate change
- 6. What are themain causes of climate change? For example, large solar temperature variation (extreme heat or extreme cold for several weeks) There are many causes of climate change: One of the main causes is the greenhouse effect Actions that directly harm the planet. An example of this is the extraction of oil Natural causes Greenhouse effect Human causes
- 7. How does climatechange affect human beings? Climate change generates several problems that not only affect the ecosystem, but also human beings. In places affected by intense rains, floods destroy crops, leaving people without food for months at a time Or, conversely, because of droughts caused by climate change. These cause people to starve due to the loss of their crops. In addition, gas and water pollution also affect foodstuffs

- 9. What is it? Thegreenhouse effect is fundamental for life on planet Earth because it generates a temperature that allows life by regulating solar radiation But what happens when so many gases accumulate in the atmosphere that the heat from the sun's rays does not evaporate into space? Global warming occurs, triggering climate change

- 12. Top 5 consequencesof climate change 01. Rising temperatures: as explained above, temperatures are rising at a very fast rate, generating an increasingly warmer than normal climate 02. Droughts: rising temperatures mean less and less rainfall. Plants and crops need water to flourish 03. Extreme weather events: sudden changes in temperature alter the Earth's meteorological cycles, generating tsunamis, tornadoes, torrential rains...
- 13. 04. Floods: Althoughit may seem contradictory, rising temperatures can also produce torrential rains. These rains wash away crops and cities, causing floods that result in irreparable damage 05. Migrations due to climate: the effects of climate change have forced many humans to move around the globe to avoid high temperatures, torrential rains, droughts or the ravages of natural disasters Top 5 consequences of climate change

- 15. Environmental education is URGENT Togenerate change, it is necessary to communicate and raise awareness about environmental education Planet Earth is the place where we live and, therefore, we are not only actors, but also protagonists in its care and conservation
- 16. I am committedto collaborating in the care of the environment... 1. Paying attention to energy saving at home: turning off lights, taking shorter showers, making conscious use of water consumption, unplugging or turning off electrical appliances if they are not in use... 2. Reducing consumption: investing in the circular economy. Whether in clothing, electronics, furniture, etc. 3. Using public transportation or electric vehicles 4. Consuming plant-based products 5. Raising my voice: raising awareness is vital for our future
