Effects of Climate Change include:

Sea levels are rising and oceans are becoming warmer. Longer, more intense droughts threaten crops, wildlife and freshwater supplies. From polar bears in the Arctic to marine turtles off the coast of Africa, our planet’s diversity of life is at risk from the changing climate.

Climate change poses a fundamental threat to the places, species and people’s livelihoods WWF works to protect. To adequately address this crisis we must urgently reduce carbon pollution and prepare for the consequences of global warming, which we are already experiencing.

Humans and wild animals face new challenges for survival because of climate change. more frequent and intense drought storms, storms, heat waves, rising sea levels melting glaciers and warming oceans can directly harm animals, destroy the places they live and wreak havoc on peoples’ livelihoods and communities.
