Abstract
Climate change indicators are a measurable and acceptable method of collecting evidence of changes in the Earth’s climate throughout time. Thus, climate change indicators capture the total impact of climate change on all economic activities and their participants. These indicators are used by policymakers, researchers, and scientists to better understand the effects of climate change, including trends and patterns. Adequate understanding and monitoring of these indicators are critical for developing successful climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies. Climate change indicators are examined by combining data collection, measurement, and analysis with scientific observations. These analyses need the use of complex statistical techniques and models, as well as the participation of scientists with varying specialties, such as ecologists, climatologists, and meteorologists. The purpose of collecting climate change indicators is to understand current and future climatic trends, as well as to provide policymakers with trustworthy information for developing climate change adaptation strategies.
