Climate action is required to address climate change
Climate change is a change in average weather patterns in a place over a period of time. This includes temperature, wind and rain.
In the long term, the speed and scope of climate-related changes can have numerous consequences on the ecosystems and on human activities.
Many people think of climate change is something that might happen in the future but it’s effects are already beginning to impact people’s lives all across the globe.
People who live near to the coast and on small islands are experiencing the effects more dramatically than some other places inland.
Higher temperatures have already melted lots of sea ice resulting in rising sea levels - and the islands of Tuvalu, home to 11,000 people, are already on the verge of going under water.
We all have a responsibility to do what we can to tackle climate change. Children all over the world are taking part in climate action and making their voices heard. One person can make a difference, and together we can change the world.
Can you invent something to help prevent climate change and protect our planet?
