Since November 2012, our exploration of global warming has revealed crucial insights about climate change and its impact on the Czech Republic. Through expert presentations, extensive research, quizzes, and collaborative efforts, we created a comprehensive presentation on the subject. We learned about rising temperatures, greenhouse gas emissions, and the importance of local actions to combat climate change. Join us in understanding the observable changes in our environment and discover actionable steps we can all take to mitigate global warming.
