Abstract

Deforestation has long been identified as a critical environmental issue with significant
consequences for global ecosystems, biodiversity, and climate. This paper examines the
relationship between deforestation and global climate change, exploring how forest loss
contributes to alterations in temperature, rainfall patterns, and carbon sequestration. By
reviewing scientific studies, reports, and models, the paper argues that deforestation
accelerates climate change through the release of stored carbon and reduces the planet's
capacity to absorb greenhouse gases. Furthermore, deforestation's role in altering local and
global weather patterns is explored, emphasizing the interconnectedness of human activities
and natural systems. Finally, strategies for mitigating deforestation and its climate impacts
are discussed, providing a comprehensive overview of the topic.
