✅ How natural and human processes affect the global energy balance
✅ The effects of global climate change on places, societies and environmental systems
✅ Possibilities for responding to climate change and power over the decision-making process
Key Concepts
The natural greenhouse effect and Earth’s energy balance regulate the planet’s climate by maintaining a stable temperature through the interaction of incoming and outgoing radiation.
Human activities have enhanced the greenhouse effect by increasing greenhouse gas concentrations, disrupting natural climate systems and driving global warming.
Climate change is influenced by feedback mechanisms, such as changes in albedo and greenhouse gas release, which can accelerate or amplify warming in complex ways
Greenhouse gas emissions and climate change impacts vary across countries and over time, reflecting differences in development and industrialization.
Responses to climate change involve multiple actors at different scales, and are shaped by differences in power, priorities, and perspectives, making coordinated global action challenging.
