Climate change
Climate change is already beginning to transform life on earth
Around the globe, seasons are shifting, temperatures are climbing and sea levels are rising. And meanwhile, our planet must still supply us – and all living things – with air, water, food and safe places to live. If we don't act now, climate change will rapidly alter the lands and waters we all depend upon for survival, leaving our children and grandchildren with a very different world.
Impacts of climate change
Higher temperature
Heat-trapping gases emitted by power plants, automobiles, deforestation and other sources are warming up the planet.
Changing landscape
Changing temperatures are causing vegetation shifts and conservation challenges.
Wildlife at risk
Climate change could one-fourth of the Earth's species to be headed for extinction by 2050.
Rising seas
Increased risk of drought, fire, and floods
Climate change is making floods, fires and droughts more frequent and severe.
Stronger storms and increased storm damage
Scientific research indicates that climate change will cause hurricanes and tropical storms to become more intense — lasting longer, unleashing stronger winds, and causing more damage to coastal ecosystems and communities.
More heat-related illness and disease
Climate change brings health risks to the world's most vulnerable communities.
Economic losses
Climate change is already affecting economies around the world.
