The issue that I have selected is climate change. Climate change is one of the most pressing issues facing our planet as it has long-term and far-reaching implications for human health, our economy, and the environment. Climate change occurs when greenhouse gas emissions such as carbon dioxide (CO2) are released into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels which in turn leads to an increase in global temperatures.

The populations that are most affected by climate change include those living in extreme poverty, communities of color, indigenous peoples, migrants and refugees; particularly those who live on small island nations or in areas prone to natural disasters like floods or droughts. This issue can be seen at both local, state and national levels but ultimately affects all countries across the world as there is no single nation immune to its effects.

Evidence supporting this issue includes data gathered from scientific studies conducted by prominent organizations such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), World Health Organization (WHO) etc., which have shown a correlation between increases in global temperatures with rising sea levels, species extinction rates and changes to weather patterns.

In conclusion climate change poses a major threat to human health due to its potential for creating hazardous air quality conditions , increased disease transmission , loss biodiversity along other damaging impacts . It’s important understand severity situation order develop strategies address prevent further damage The need act now become increasingly urgent we continue observe shifts nature’s balance .
