In common usage, climate change describes global warming—the ongoing increase in global average temperature—and its effects on Earth's climate system.

Climate change in a broader sense also includes previous long-term changes to Earth's climate.

The current rise in global average temperature is more rapid than previous changes, and is primarily caused by humans burning fossil fuels.

Fossil fuel use, deforestation, and some agricultural and industrial practices increase greenhouse gases, notably carbon dioxide and methane.

Greenhouse gases absorb some of the heat that the Earth radiates after it warms from sunlight.

Larger amounts of these gases trap more heat in Earth's lower atmosphere, causing global warming.

Greenhouse gas emissions (abbreviated as GHG emissions) from human activities strengthen the greenhouse effect, contributing to climate change.

Carbon dioxide, from burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas, is one of the most important factors in causing climate change.

The largest emitters are China followed by the US, although the United States has higher emissions per capita.

The main producers fueling the emissions globally are large oil and gas companies.

Human-caused emissions have increased atmospheric carbon dioxide by about 50% over pre-industrial levels.

The growing levels of emissions have varied, but have been consistent among all greenhouse gases.

Emissions in the 2010s averaged 56 billion tons a year, higher than any decade before.

Total cumulative emissions from 1870 to 2017 were 425±20 (1539) from fossil fuels and industry, and 180±60 (660) from land use change.

Land-use change, such as deforestation, caused about 31% of cumulative emissions over 1870–2017, coal 32%, oil 25%, and gas 10%.

Climate action (or climate change action) refers to a range of activities, mechanisms, policy instruments and so forth that aim to reduce the severity of human induced climate change and its impacts.

"More climate action" is a central demand of the climate movement.

Climate inaction is the absence of climate action.

Examples for climate action include:

Community resilience is the sustained ability of a community to use available resources (energy, communication, transportation, food, etc) to respond to, withstand, and recover from adverse situations (e.g. economic collapse to global catastrophic risks).

This allows for the adaptation and growth of a community after disaster strikes.

Communities that are resilient are able to minimize any disaster, making the return to normal life as effortless as possible.

By implementing a community resilience plan, a community can come together and overcome any disaster, while rebuilding physically and economically.
