Since the pre-industrial period,the land surface air temperature has risen nearly twice as much as the global average temperature.Climate change,including increases in frequency and intensity of extremes,has adversely impacted food security and terrestrial ecosystems as well as contributed to desertification and land degradation in many regions but to learn about climate change,you must know what climate is.Climate is the usual weather of a place and can be different for different seasons.A place might be mostly warm and dry in the summer.The same place may be cool and wet in the winter.Different places can have different climates.As for climate change,it is a significant change in the measures of climate such as temperature, rainfall or wind lasting for an extended period-decades or longer and it is a serious concern for the world and of course Europeans. The Earth’s climate has changed many times during the planet’s history, with events ranging from ice ages to long periods of warmth.What’s different about this period of the earth’s history is that human activities are significantly contributing to natural climate change through our emissions of greenhouse gases.This interference is resulting in increased air and ocean temperatures, drought, melting ice and snow, rising sea levels,increased rainfall, flooding and other influences.Some countries,including all EU Member States,adopted legally-binding targets to limit greenhouse gas emissions in the years up to 2020,under an agreement called the Kyoto Protocol. But even with pledges from other countries to take voluntary action, this was not going to be enough to avoid dangerous climate change. So negotiations were held on a new agreement that would require action by all countries round the world – and on 12 December 2015 in Paris, France, almost 200 governments agreed on the first ever universal,legally-binding deal on climate change. The historic Paris Agreement sets out an action plan to limit global warming to less than 2°C above the temperature of pre-industrial times.Governments also agreed to try to limit the global temperature rise to maximum 1.5°C, as scientists around the world agreed that this would significantly reduce risks and impacts of climate change.Besides,The 2030 climate and energy framework includes EU-wide targets and policy objectives for the period from 2021 to 2030. Responding to the urgent need to scale-up climate action,the Secretary-General convened the Climate Action Summit on 23 September 2019 to focus global attention in the face of the worsening climate crisis and to forge new pathways ahead to support the achievement of the Paris Agreement and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.As a result of all this scientific research,we have realised that our students, teachers and staff participating project have lack of information on climate change thanks to questionnaires making by teachers and staff.So,we thought that the time is now to tackle climate change and determined six main themes(greenhouse gas emmision,deforestation,air pollution,drought,flood and biodiversity)on Effects of Climate Change.Each theme will represent one partner and each partner will study in detail on the theme.In the end of project we will prepare an ebook including six themes as an output
