Climate change: impacts and mitigation

• Consequences of global warming and climate change include: • sea-level rise • loss of habitats • changes to weather extremes • changes in the amount, timing and distribution of rainfall • temperature and water stress for humans and wildlife • changes in the distribution of species • changes in the food-producing capacity of some regions.
