Climate change is a big problem that affects the whole world, including Ceuta. Here are some ways it might impact our city:
Rising Sea Levels: As the Earth’s temperature increases, ice melts and sea levels rise. This could lead to flooding in coastal areas of Ceuta, affecting homes and businesses near the shore.
Extreme Weather: We might experience more extreme weather events, like heavy rainstorms or heatwaves. This can cause damage to buildings, roads, and other infrastructure.
Water Shortages: Higher temperatures and changes in rainfall patterns could lead to water shortages. This means there might be less water available for drinking, farming, and other uses.
Impact on Wildlife: Climate change can affect the plants and animals that live in and around Ceuta. Some species might struggle to survive if their habitats change too much.
Health Risks: Warmer temperatures can increase the spread of diseases and make heatwaves more dangerous, especially for older people and those with health problems.
