AI-Generated Summary

Climate change is a pressing global issue driven primarily by human activities, such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes, which increase greenhouse gas emissions. This leads to rising global temperatures, melting polar ice, and rising sea levels, threatening ecosystems and biodiversity. Extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, droughts, and floods, are becoming more frequent and severe, impacting agriculture, water resources, and human health. Vulnerable communities, particularly in developing nations, face disproportionate risks. Mitigation efforts include transitioning to renewable energy, enhancing energy efficiency, and reforestation. International cooperation, such as the Paris Agreement, aims to limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels to avoid catastrophic consequences.
