General Information about Climate Change for Meeting Planners and Prospective Clients.

Largely due to processes of globalization and consumerism, climate change is becoming an increasingly serious issue, deserving more attention from governments, organizations, and the general public. Climate change refers to shifts in temperature, fluctuations in weather patterns, rises in sea levels, the disappearance of endangered animal species, and the destruction of a variety of ecosystems. While older, longer-term climatic shifts may have been driven by natural causes, since the industrial revolution in the 19^th century, humans have become the main factor accelerating climate change. Activities such as burning fossil fuels like coal, oil, or natural gas produce heat-trapping environments and cause rapid global warming.

Due to climate change, we are now more vulnerable and live in an increasingly dangerous world, with threats due to heatwaves, massive storms, drought, floods, and unnatural seasonal fluctuations. These changes in climate patterns have potentially severe and irreversible impacts on humans and ecosystems. Since they are affecting crop production, a great part of the lower-income population could face food shortages in the near future.

What can we do about it? The answer to this question is far from straightforward. However, there are steps every one of us could take in order to curb the pace and impact of climate change, including the reduction of plastic usage, the proper disposal of waste, and the use of renewable energy sources, such as solar panels, instead of traditional, highly polluting ones. Moreover, making more use of public transportation, cycling, or walking could also help mitigate climate change.
