there are changes vs there is change

These two phrases are correct, but they wouldn't be used in the same contexts. 'There are changes' is used when referring to multiple changes, while 'There is change' is used when talking about a singular change. The choice between the two depends on whether you are discussing one specific change or multiple changes.
