Unit summary
The climate system involves interactions between the living and non-living worlds (IPCC, 2001). Anything that can alter any of the components in this system can lead to climate change. Countries have different coping capacities.

In this lesson, you have covered:
- impacts of climate change
- identifying ethical dimensions of climate change
- ethical issues and challenges
