I think that ecosystems are integral to resisting climate change by sequestering carbon dioxide, influencing temperature regulation, and contributing to climate stability. The important factor driving climate change is the increase in greenhouse gas concentrations, particularly carbon dioxide, caused by human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation.

Dr Peter Donkor thank you for your contribution to the discussion

Restoring and protecting nature is one of the greatest strategies for tackling climate change, but not just for the obvious reason that it sucks carbon out the air. Forests, wetlands, and other ecosystems act as buffers against extreme weather, protecting houses, crops, water supplies and vital infrastructure. Terrestrial and marine ecosystems play an important role in regulating climate. They currently absorb roughly half of man-made carbon emissions. Biodiversity and ecosystem services help us to adapt to and mitigate climate change. They are therefore a crucial part of our effort to combat climate change. Climate change can alter where species live, how they interact, and the timing of biological events, which could fundamentally transform current ecosystems and food webs. Climate change can overwhelm the capacity of ecosystems to mitigate extreme events and disturbance, such as wildfires, floods, and drought. The most vulnerable ecosystems include coastal ecosystems, alpine areas, rainforests, fragmented terrestrial ecosystems and areas vulnerable to fire or low freshwater availability. Turn down the heat, use a programmable or smart thermostat if you can, and keep blinds closed. Turn down your water heater to 120 degrees, Remember what your parents told you: turn off lights and appliances when you are not using them. Unplug if possible to reduce even more energy. The main driver of climate change is the greenhouse effect. Some gases in the Earth's atmosphere act a bit like the glass in a greenhouse, trapping the sun's heat and stopping it from leaking back into space and causing global warming. Since the Industrial Revolution, human activities have released large amounts of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, which has changed the earth's climate. Natural processes, such as changes in the sun's energy and volcanic eruptions, also affect the earth's climate.
