HOW DOES IT AFFECT ME?
Climate change has implications on food production, natural eco-systems, fresh water supply and health.
Regional changes in climate have contributed to various changes in physical and biological systems. These include the rise in air temperature leading to rapid melting of glaciers and increment of glacier lakes, changes in rainfall frequency and intensity, shifts in the growing season, early flowering of trees and emergence of insects, and shifts in the distribution ranges of plants and animals in response to changes in climatic conditions.
Extreme climate events including flooding, heavy rainfall, droughts, heat wave and cold stream are also the consequences of climate change.
