Gases in the atmosphere that trap heat, like CO2 and CH4.

The process where greenhouse gases absorb and trap heat, raising Earth's temperature.

A greenhouse gas produced by burning fossil fuels and respiration.

A potent greenhouse gas emitted from livestock and landfills.

Significant changes in global temperatures and weather patterns over time.

Actions like burning fossil fuels that increase greenhouse gases.

Gradual changes in climate due to natural events, like meteorite strikes.

More greenhouse gases lead to more heat trapping and temperature rise.

The average area of ocean covered by sea ice during the year.

Variations in regular seasonal patterns affecting climate and agriculture.

A prolonged period of abnormally low rainfall, leading to water shortages.

Consequences of climate change that pose risks to health and environment.

Negative effects arising from prolonged lack of water.

Changes made by farmers to cope with changing climate conditions.

Economic impacts stemming from climate-related issues like crop failures and natural disasters.

A severe condition caused by prolonged exposure to high temperatures, leading to the body's inability to regulate temperature.

Increased health risks such as water shortages, crops dying, and animal illnesses due to extreme heat.

A disease caused by parasites transmitted through the bites of infected mosquitoes, often worsened in warmer climates.

A mosquito-borne viral infection causing flu-like symptoms, prevalent in tropical climates affected by heat.

The process of glaciers shrinking due to rising temperatures, contributing to sea level rise.

The increase in the global average sea level due to melting ice and thermal expansion of water as it warms.

Overflow of water onto normally dry land, particularly affecting regions close to oceans during sea level rise.

The loss of coastal land due to wave action and rising sea levels, threatening ecosystems and human structures.

The destruction of forests which releases carbon dioxide and reduces tree capacity to capture it.

Reduction of different species in an ecosystem, making it unstable.

The ability of an ecosystem to recover from disturbances.

Gases like CO2 that trap heat in the atmosphere.

Richer countries cause emissions but can protect themselves better than poorer countries.

Long-term impact on everyone, but more severe for poorer countries.

Less polar ice leads to more ocean warming, reducing ice further.

Polar ice reflects sunlight, keeping regions cool and moderating climate.

The Sustainable Development Goal aimed at urgent action against climate change and its effects.

Thailand's Nationally Determined Contribution outlines efforts to reduce emissions and adapt to climate change in line with global agreements.

The ability to withstand or recover from climate impacts and changes.

Adjusting practices and strategies to cope with the effects of climate change.

Using less energy to provide the same service or output.

Energy sources that are naturally replenished, such as solar and wind.

A tax imposed on companies for their carbon dioxide emissions.

An international agreement aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

A limit set on the total level of carbon dioxide emissions allowed.

Strategies to decrease methane released into the atmosphere.

Farming practices that maintain productivity without harming ecosystems.
