How Climate Change Is Affecting Our Lives
The climate system is a complex natural system that is made up of Earth’s atmosphere, oceans, land surfaces and ice sheets. This system is influenced by many factors, including the balance of energy from the Sun. When a change in the Sun’s output of solar energy affects this balance, Earth’s climate will change. These changes […]

The Ocean is a massive system that controls rainfall, droughts, and the Earth’s climate. It holds 97% of the world’s water and helps to keep the carbon cycle balanced by absorbing a third of the planet’s CO2 emissions. It’s also home to more than 226,000 species of living things, from microscopic plankton to huge cetaceans […]

Wildlife is an important part of our world’s ecosystems and contributes to the health of our environment. Without wildlife, plants and other organisms would not grow, pollinate, or disperse seeds. Humans have a vital role to play in protecting the natural world and its inhabitants, and conservation is an essential part of that process. The […]

Climate Change is caused by human activities, such as burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in the production of electricity and transport. This has changed Earth’s atmosphere and traps heat in the atmosphere, making the planet warmer than it used to be. Solar energy from the Sun enters our planet’s atmosphere and is […]

Climate change is an overall shift in the Earth’s weather patterns that can affect our daily lives. It includes increases in temperature, changes in the frequency and severity of extreme weather events, and more. Temperature is determined by the way the Earth absorbs and radiates solar energy. The atmosphere, oceans, land surfaces and ice sheets […]

Oceans cover over 70 percent of the planet’s surface, and account for 97% of its water supply. The oceans are a vital lifeline to billions of people, as they regulate rainfall and droughts, absorb CO2 and hold water supplies. They also support important ecosystems and provide a rich source of food and marine resources. There […]

Wildlife is the natural world, including animals, plants and their habitats. Wild animals can be found in all ecosystems, including deserts, grasslands, forests and urban areas. Species and ecosystems of wildlife are at risk from habitat destruction, degradation, overexploitation, poaching, pollution and climate change. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) estimates that 42,100 […]
