climate change impacts
Global heating effects
The effects of long-term shifts in global temperature and weather patterns on natural and human systems.
Climate change impacts include rising sea levels, more frequent extreme weather events, altered ecosystems, crop failures, and displacement of populations.
The report detailed climate change impacts on coastal communities.
The phrase appears frequently in policy discussions and scientific literature, often preceding calls for mitigation or adaptation strategies.
