Climate Crisis

Climate crisis refers to the framing of ongoing climate change as an urgent and severe global challenge requiring immediate and sustained action. The term emphasizes the scale, speed and impacts of rising greenhouse gas concentrations, including increasing temperatures, extreme weather events, sea level rise and ecosystem disruption. It is used in scientific, policy and public discourse to highlight risks to human societies and natural systems and the need for mitigation and adaptation measures.
