Climate crisis, or climate breakdown, describes the devastating effects of climate change on people and planet. Climate crisis is caused by human actions such as burning of fossil fuels, which lead to high concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere and result in the greenhouse effect and global warming. As a result, we face rising temperatures and increasing incidence of extreme weather, heavy rainfall and severe drought in multiple regions, rising sea levels, loss of biodiversity and extinction of entire ecosystems. As the climate crisis accelerates, water supply, food security, human health, and livelihoods, are also increasingly affected.
