Climate Change Climate change is defined as a change in climate that persists over a sustained period of time. The World Meteorological Organization defines this time period as 30 years. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 2003 stated that “there is new and stronger evidence that most of the warming observed over the last 50 years is attributable to human activities”. These changes have led to the emergence of large-scale environmental hazards to human health‚ such as extreme
