1.2 Mini-Essay: The Negative Effects of Climate Change on the Environment
and Human Health
Introduction
Climate change is one of the most urgent environmental and developmental
challenges facing humanity. It refers to long-term shifts in temperatures, rainfall
patterns, and weather events caused largely by human activity such as the burning
of fossil fuels, deforestation, and unsustainable industrial practices. The result is
global warming and disruptions in natural systems that affect every region of the
world. Climate change education, on the other hand, is an emerging field of teaching
and learning that equips learners with the knowledge, values, and skills to
understand the causes and consequences of climate change and to act towards
mitigation and adaptation. This form of education promotes environmental literacy,
critical thinking, and sustainable lifestyles, enabling both children and adults to
become agents of positive change in their communities.
