Climate refers to long-term patterns of temperature and precipitation in an area, influenced by geographical factors and distinct from daily weather. The Köppen Climate Classification categorizes global climates into five main types based on temperature and precipitation patterns. Climate change, driven mainly by human activities, poses challenges such as rising temperatures, melting polar ice, and extreme weather events. Mitigation and adaptation strategies are essential for addressing the impacts of climate change.
