The effects of climate change result in weather events that occur more frequently as well as reach more extreme levels of intensity.
The rising worldwide temperature has caused heatwaves to repeat more often in addition to increasing in magnitude which increases heat-related mortalities and damages to infrastructure.
Temperature rises lead to excessive moisture storage in air which results in larger precipitation quantities and flash floods and flooding hazards.
The consequences of more severe and repeated drought occurrences affecting agriculture, water resources and ecosystems will become noticeable in specific regions because of climate change.
More intense hurricanes. Hurricanes receive an excess of energy from warmer ocean temperatures that leads to stronger winds as well as increased rainfall amounts and bigger storm surge intensity.
Increased risk and severity of wildfires. Changes in temperature together with environmental conditions that lead to increased dryness and wind pattern modifications create favorable conditions for both greater frequency and higher intensity of wildfires.
Effects on Vulnerable Communities Mitigation
The implementation and enhancement of warning systems for severe weather should receive funding because such advances offer community members valuable notice time for evacuation arrangements.
-Disaster Preparedness and Response: Strengthen the plans for disaster preparedness and response, such as emergency shelters, evacuation routes, and community-based disaster response teams.
Public funds should be directed to build climate-resistant infrastructure which combines flood-proof construction with stronger protective sea barriers along with heat-resistant structural elements.
Social safety networks must receive stronger funding which enables them to help vulnerable groups affected by extreme weather events receive emergency and disaster relief with long-term recovery services.
Reducing environmental emissions and their sources for climate change mitigation requires transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy and raising energy performance levels and developing sustainable land management practices.
Community-Based Adaptation develops local people’s capabilities and gives them control to execute adaptation plans along with implementing local adaptation initiatives.

Being a literature student, and coming from a background of theatre and films, I would say that the concept of art and culture has greatly changed. When I was in middle school, art to me was only based on paintings by famous artists and culture was only based on clothes and occasions.
But as I grew up, I saw that anything and everything can be called art if it comes from a point of creativity. Art lies in music, writings, paintings, architects and dancing. Moreover, you can find art in anything if you care to look at things closely.
On the other hand, the concept of culture being a larger aspect dawned with reading different literary works. Whether it be Indian or European or American or African, every region and subregions have their own cultures. I feel like there is no boundary as to following just a single culture. You could borrow different things from different cultures and abide by them. I feel that could make us more culturally enriched.
