Human Health
Introduction
a. Climate change: Climate change refers to long-term shifts in global or regional
climate patterns, often caused by human activities such as burning fossil fuels,
deforestation, and industrialisation, which increase greenhouse gas emissions. These
changes affect temperatures, rainfall patterns, and weather events.
b. Climate change education: Climate change education is the process of equipping
individuals and communities with knowledge, values, and skills to understand the
causes, consequences, and solutions to climate change. It encourages awareness,
responsible decision-making, and sustainable practices to address environmental
challenges.
