Human activities and Natural processes are the cause of Climate change. Human activities include 1. Industrial Processes: Emissions from manufacturing and chemical production releases greenhouse gases contributing to the greenhouse effect. 2. Waste management: causes landfills and waste treatment impact as organic waste decomposes anaerobically. 3. Deforestation: clearing forests for agriculture, logging, and urban development reduces the number of trees that can absorb carbon dioxide. Natural Processes: 1. Solar variability changes in solar radiation affect the earth’s climate. 2. Ocean currents change in ocean circulation patterns impact climate variability. 3. Volcanic activity contributes to greenhouse gas emissions over longer periods. Impact on the global Ecosystems; Temperature increase, Sea level rise, ocean acidification, loss of biodiversity, etc..

Wind, solar, and hydropower play significant roles in mitigating climate change through several mechanisms.
- Wind power generates electricity using turbines without burning fossil fuels like coal and natural gas. By utilizing wind turbines, we can reduce CO2 levels in the atmosphere and limit greenhouse gas emissions.
- Solar power harnesses sunlight through solar panels to generate electricity without the need for fossil fuels. This method also helps restrict CO2 emissions and reduce greenhouse gases.
- Hydropower generates electricity by harnessing the energy of flowing or falling water. Although the construction phase can cause some environmental and atmospheric impact, the operational phase is entirely emission-free.
