<human>:  What is the effect of climate change on the environment?
<bot>: The effect of climate change on the environment is wide-ranging and includes sea level rise, disruptions in animal and plant habitats, extreme weather events, and a significant increase in global temperatures. Certain parts of the planet are being disproportionately affected by the effects of climate change, such as those living in coastal or low-lying areas, people living in the Arctic, and small island states. Rising temperatures will cause more extreme weather events, like heat waves, floods, and droughts, leading to global food and water insecurity, as well as population displacement in affected areas.
