Climate impact refers to the effects that climate change has on natural and human systems. This includes alterations in weather patterns, temperature increases, sea level rise, and changes in precipitation, which can affect ecosystems, agriculture, water supply, and human health. Climate impacts can lead to increased frequency and severity of extreme weather events such as hurricanes, floods, and droughts, and can also exacerbate existing environmental issues, such as habitat loss and food insecurity. The term encompasses both immediate and long-term consequences, emphasizing the interconnectedness of environmental conditions and human activities.
