Climate Change: a change in global or regional climate patterns, in particular a change apparent from the mid to late 20th century onwards and attributed largely to the increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide produced by the use of fossil fuels. Carbon Footprint: the total amount of greenhouse gases produced to directly and indirectly support human activities, usually expressed in equivalent tons of carbon dioxide (CO2). Ozone Layer: a region of Earth's stratosphere that absorbs most of the sun's ultraviolet radiation and protects life on Earth from its harmful effects.

Climate change is causing more extreme weather events across the world, such as longer and more intense heat waves, heavier rainfalls, and stronger hurricanes. The average global temperature has increased by about 1.1 degrees Celsius since 1880. In the last three decades, the number of natural disasters has doubled due to environmental changes such as global warming, deforestation, and air and water pollution.
