Climate change is the greatest environmental challenge facing the world today. Our climate is getting hotter and will change our lives.

Rising global temperatures will bring changes in weather patterns, rising sea levels, flooding and increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather events.

Climate change may affect our health. The quality of the food we eat, the water we drink and our homes are all dependent on climate and weather.
