Over the years, flooding<\/strong>, dried<\/strong>, extinction of species<\/strong>, temperature records and constant heat waves<\/strong> are increasingly frequent subjects in our daily lives. But what do these events have in common<\/strong>? All are effects of climate change<\/a><\/strong> in Planet. But there are several initiatives <\/strong>acting for combat these effects<\/strong>. That's what you'll see in this content! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Main causes of climate change<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

They happen for several reasons, but the main one is the excessive release of greenhouse gases<\/strong>, which retain the sun's heat and increase the planet's temperature. This excessive release occurs through human activities<\/strong>. According to data from the UN Emissions Gap Report 2022, Brazil is among the seven largest emitters of these gases in the world<\/strong>. In the country, this emission occurs mainly through the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation and fires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The logging <\/strong>is also one of the causes of climate change<\/a><\/strong>, as it removes the planet's vegetation cover, which would absorb CO2, and can release carbon stored in plants and soil into the atmosphere. In Brazil alone, in 2022, the deforested area increased by 22.3% compared to the previous year<\/strong>, according to data from the Annual Deforestation Report (RAD 2022).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report also shows that, Amazon and Cerrado, together, total 90.1% of affected biomes<\/strong>. The expansion of the agricultural frontier, the construction of roads and hydroelectric plants and mining are some of the main causes of deforestation in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another cause of climate change<\/a><\/strong> is the soil and water pollution<\/strong>. In soil pollution, the capacity to absorb water and store carbon is reduced, also impacting the quality of the land for crops. In water pollution, the quality and quantity of water resources available on the planet for consumption and use in other activities is reduced, resulting in the use of more polluting resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
