They also state that the likelihood of weather related natural disasters increases because of changes in climate conditions. This is especially true in the warming of global temperatures.

Many parts of Africa have been a victim of severe natural disasters including flooding, cyclones, and even droughts.

• Temperature increases in Africa slightly above the global average

• Multi-year droughts continued in northwest Africa in 2023

• Extreme floods caused severe losses and damages

• African countries face increasing climate change bill

• Investment in early warnings will protect lives and economies

  
  

Some things that this is harming:

• Food security

• Ecosystems and economies

• fueling displacements and migration

• worsening the threat of conflict over dwindling resources.

Europe is the fastest warming continent in the world and climate risks are threatening its energy and food security.

The European Union holds a big impact on the climate Crisis but have recently been taking action in order to limit this.

The United States holds a large impact on the climate Crisis right behind China. They have on an effect on it through burning fossils for electricity, heat and transportation.

I hope by doing this I can narrow down my research into a specific region!

(I'm not sure why but the website wont link so here is the link:

I don't know much about how to government is trying to limit the amount of contribution, but I do know a lot of the people in America want change. Therefore I should do more research into it.

However, I am not aware on how big leaders are attempting to make a difference. Therefore I decided to do more research on what bigger countries are doing along with what they should be doing.

Individual Action: Switching to more energy-efficient power sources for homes where possible

Bigger Action: The industrial sector needs to make and follow through on its commitments to clean and renewable energy transitions

Individual Action: Buying more sustainable groceries, eating all the food that is purchased, and composting what isn't able to be used.

Bigger Action: Agricultural producers need to switch to fertilizers that contribute fewer greenhouse gas emissions an use other sustainable farming practices.

I am looking forward to do further research into the simple things we can change in our everyday lives to limit global warming

I want to research this because I feel like this is a huge base on a lot of other issues in our world. Not only that, but Climate Action contributes to the health of our society, along with the ecosystems of other living things. I think it is our responsibility to take care of the earth that we live on.

Why I should use this question:

This question resolves around my whole pad let research, and it is a very relevant question in today's climate crisis.

Why I should not use this question:

I think that this research question would be better if I didn't limit the natural disasters to just one region, however I think that would make the question way too broad.

Why I should use this question:

I really enjoy learning about animals and I have a great passion for it, which may make my research on it more interesting.

Why I should not use this question:

I didn't really research anything on it, and my interest in the wildlife and ecosystem are at the same level as my interest in the natural disasters (which I have more research on).

(I also struggled to find good websites )

Why I should use this question:

I actually don't know much on the government's effectiveness in addressing global warming, so I thought this could be a very interesting and good topic for me to learn about.

Why I shouldn't use this question:

I might not know how to research this topic. In addition, I think I would start to get bored with this question which would be bad for my research.

I also struggled on finding websites on what has BEEN done, and when I did I couldn't hold as much interest in it as my other topics

I specifically like the conservation and forestry topics that are mentioned in this website.
