Take for example, the graphic on the left illustrating the impacts on cities in general: each and every city in the world will be experiencing some or all of these effects. However, most people don’t connect climate change with their local experiences in cities.</p> <p>Connecting Wikipedia content to how climate change impacts society helps readers connect what they learn with how we need to make decisions to address or adapt to those changes. The effects of climate change, most notably both wetter and drier weather, sea level rise, heat waves and other extreme weather, have ripple effects throughout society: directly affecting health, indirectly exposing populations to more severe disease, destroying food crops, harming supply chains, causing biodiversity loss, creating more intense disaster events such as fires and flooding, etc.</p> <p>Moreover, each local decision maker with power to make decisions over infrastructure or social services will need to respond to climate change and prevent maladaptation. By documenting the current local effects of climate change and the future that we expect due to climate change, helps people better assess the moment they are in.</p> <p></p> </blockquote> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table>" |
