dc.descriptionThis information kit provides a structured overview of the scientific basis, observed evidence, projected impacts, and international policy response to climate change. It explains how human activities increase greenhouse gas concentrations, leading to warming, sea-level rise, and shifts in precipitation and extreme events, drawing on assessments by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. It outlines modelling approaches, uncertainties, and projected temperature increases of 1.4 to 5.8 degrees Celsius by 2100, alongside sectoral impacts on ecosystems, agriculture, water resources, health, infrastructure, and coastal zones. The document also describes the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, its institutions, financial mechanisms, and the Kyoto Protocol, detailing commitments, reporting requirements, and support for developing countries.
