Climate Change Impacts - INI
Climate change impacts are various environmental, social, and economic effects resulting from global warming caused by human activities and greenhouse gas emissions. Based on the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) assessment reports, these impacts include sea level rise, intensification of extreme weather, biodiversity loss, water resource impacts, agricultural and food production impacts, and health effects. These impacts are already being observed worldwide and are expected to worsen further in the future.
