Climate change concept map

About this earth system science concept map

This climate change concept map visually explains the causes and impacts of global warming in a clear, interconnected format. It highlights how greenhouse gas emissions from human activities combine with natural climate variability to intensify extreme weather events. The map traces direct links between carbon dioxide emissions, rising global temperatures, and disruptions to the water cycle that lead to droughts, floods and stronger storms.

Designed for students and educators, this template simplifies complex climate science into an easy-to-follow diagram. It shows the relationship between human actions like burning fossil fuels and environmental consequences like melting glaciers and wildfires. The visual format helps users understand how small changes create big impacts across Earth's climate systems.

You can modify it simply and even use it to learn, teach, and share ideas. With this map, you'll gain a new appreciation for the delicate balance of our world and how we can protect it.
