N2 - Climate change is visibly affecting the Earth and its creatures. The Earth is heating, rainfall patterns are changing and sea levels are rising. These changes can increase the risk of heat waves, floods, droughts and fires (Met Office, 2023). However, the consequences of climate change have already started in many ways everywhere, including air pollution, disease, extreme weather events, displacement, mental health issues, inequality and food insecurity (United Nations, 2015). If we do not take serious actions now, these impacts will only worsen, leading to more severe and widespread outcomes for the Earth and its creatures.
