cambio climático

//Roman

English meaning: Climate change

Spanish Definition

(Español)

Cambios a largo plazo en las temperaturas y patrones meteorológicos globales, impulsados principalmente por las emisiones humanas de gases de efecto invernadero.

English Definition

Long-term shifts in global temperatures and weather patterns, primarily driven by human greenhouse gas emissions. Spain and Latin America are highly vulnerable to climate change — Spain faces desertification, drought, and wildfires; the Amazon faces tipping points; Andean glaciers are melting. Spain's renewable energy leadership positions it well for the low-carbon transition.

Example

España sufre sequías cada vez más graves como consecuencia del cambio climático.

In English: Spain suffers increasingly severe droughts as a consequence of climate change.

Synonyms

  • calentamiento global
  • crisis climática
