Climate change is no longer a distant threat – it is affecting our daily lives in real time.
Rising global temperatures are leading to more frequent and intense heat waves, floods, and droughts. This disrupts agriculture, causing food prices to rise and affecting food security.
Unpredictable weather patterns also impact water availability and increase the spread of diseases like dengue and malaria. Coastal communities face greater risks due to rising sea levels and stronger storms, threatening homes and livelihoods.
In urban areas, poor air quality caused by climate change-linked pollution contributes to respiratory problems and other health issues.
Even small changes, like increased electricity bills due to higher air conditioning use, show how climate change affects us financially.
The effects are widespread and personal.
Addressing climate change isn’t just an environmental issue – it’s essential for the public health, economic stability, and a sustainable future for all.
