[citation needed] In southern Ghana in the Lower Pra River Basin, the percentage of runoff change, which is linked to human activity is approximately up to 66%. [11] Human presence and infrastructure has benefited from river management, by changing and straightening rivers to make the valuable land around them more live-able. [12]
Human activities affect marine life and marine habitats through overfishing, habitat loss, the introduction of invasive species, ocean pollution, ocean acidification and ocean warming. These impact marine ecosystems and food webs and may result in consequences as yet unrecognised for the biodiversity and continuation of marine life forms. [3]

I = (PAT) is the mathematical notation of a formula put forward to describe the impact of human activity on the environment. I = P × A × T. The expression equates human impact on the environment to a function of three factors: population (P), affluence (A) and technology (T). [1]

Carbon dioxide is the main greenhouse gas resulting from human activities. It accounts for more than half of warming. Methane (CH 4) emissions have almost the same short-term impact. [5] Nitrous oxide (N 2 O) and fluorinated gases (F-gases) play a lesser role in comparison. Emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide in 2023 were all ...
