Climate Change
Long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. While such shifts can occur naturally, human activities — which have intensified since the 19th century — have become the main driver of these changes
Greenhouse Gases

Carbon Footprint
The amount of greenhouse gas emissions released into the atmosphere by a person, organization, product, or specific activity
Climate Adaptation
It refers to actions that help reduce the damages resulting from the current or expected impacts of climate change
Net zero emission
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions to the closest possible level to zero, while reabsorbing any remaining emissions from the atmosphere, through the oceans and forests, for example
Circular Economy
Production and consumption patterns that reduce waste and mitigate pollution, and promote the sustainable use of natural resources
Biodiversity
All forms of life on Earth—plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms—function as essential components of the ecosystem
