Clima y Medio Ambiente

“Clima y Medio Ambiente” translates to “Climate and Environment” in English. This term broadly refers to the interrelated systems that govern the Earth’s atmospheric conditions (climate) and the natural world (environment).

Climate encompasses long-term patterns and averages of temperature, humidity, wind, and precipitation in a given area, influencing ecosystems and human activities. It is shaped by natural factors, such as solar energy, volcanic activity, and Earth’s axial tilt, as well as human activities like deforestation, pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions.

The environment includes all living organisms, physical elements like air, water, soil, and ecosystems, and the interactions between them. It encompasses the ways in which human beings and other species interact with these components, affecting biodiversity and overall planetary health.

“Clima y Medio Ambiente” thus emphasizes the importance of understanding how climate change, environmental degradation, and human activity influence each other and the need for sustainable practices to ensure the health of the planet for future generations.
