Even on a scientific level, climate change is often confused with the term global warming. However, this term is broader and includes global warming, the rise in sea level, the distinction of animal and plant species, the more intense climatic events, and certain other aspects observed on our planet in recent decades.

The objective of this article is to make known the causes and the effects of climate change to the public in order, to correct their behavior regarding the environment that surrounds them and to take the necessary actions that protect them from the consequences adverse of such change.

It brings to mind the essential causes of global warming which are attributed to the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) and the poor management of territories, in particular deforestation and agriculture.

Then, it evokes the impacts of climate change on the environment, which are multiple, increasingly frequent, and affect all the world's ecosystems including the world population, and the planetary biodiversity. It also cites case studies and experimental achievements to deal with the negative effects of climate change.
