Deforestation: The permanent removal of standing forests that can lead to significant levels of carbon dioxide emissions.
Fossil fuels: Natural resources, such as coal, oil and natural gas, containing hydrocarbons. These fuels are formed in the Earth over millions of years and produce carbon dioxide when burnt.
Global warming: The steady rise in global average temperature in recent decades, which experts believe is largely caused by man-made greenhouse gas emissions.
Renewable energy: Renewable energy is energy created from sources that can be replenished in a short period of time.
