Effects

Global warming has many negative effects on the planet, including rising sea levels, more frequent and severe weather events, loss of biodiversity, and negative impacts on human health and well-being. These effects are already being felt around the world, and they are expected to worsen in the coming years.

Mitigation

Mitigating the effects of global warming requires a collective effort from individuals, governments, and businesses. This includes:

• Reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
• Transitioning to renewable energy sources.
• Promoting sustainable land use practices.

Adaptation

Adapting to the effects of global warming is also important, as some impacts are already inevitable. This includes:

• Building infrastructure to protect against rising sea levels.
• Preparing for more frequent and severe weather events.
• Developing new technologies to mitigate the effects of global warming.

Preguntas abiertas

Respuesta orientativa: La mitigación busca reducir las causas (emisiones), la adaptación busca prepararse para los efectos ya inevitables.
