Climate change is one of the most urgent and complex challenges facing humanity and the planet. It is caused by the increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, mainly from human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation and agriculture. Climate change affects the environment in many ways, such as rising sea levels, melting glaciers, extreme weather events, biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation. To address climate change, we need to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, adapt to the impacts and support the most vulnerable communities. We also need to foster global cooperation and innovation to find sustainable solutions for a low-carbon and resilient future.

The South Asian region is particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, which include more frequent and severe weather events, rising sea levels, and increased air pollution. Addressing these challenges requires a comprehensive and collaborative approach that promotes sustainable development, strengthens resilience, and balances economic growth with ecosystem management.
