ClimateChange

Sea level rise-Melting ice-Thermal expansion

Climatic zones shift towards poles Higher evaporation levels – more rainfall

Agricultural patterns change Fragile ecosystems collapse

-Coral reefs-Antarctica

Global distribution of disease carrying parasites and insects changes

More people become vulnerable to the effects of:-Drought-Flooding-Famine

Increase in extreme weather events
