Environmental issues pose significant challenges to the health, stability, and sustainability of ecosystems worldwide. These challenges include climate change, pollution, deforestation, biodiversity loss, and water scarcity. Climate change, primarily driven by greenhouse gas emissions, leads to global warming, rising sea levels, and extreme weather events. Pollution, from industrial and agricultural sources, contaminates air, water, and soil, posing risks to human health and wildlife. Deforestation contributes to biodiversity loss, soil erosion, and disrupts carbon storage, while habitat destruction threatens countless species.
