 THE 

'WORRY' FACTOR

"WE are the first generation to face the catastrophic problem of CLIMATE CHANGE and probably the last ones, to do something...."-
Greta Thunberg 


People are experiencing climate change in diverse ways                 

                                                       
Climate change can affect our health, ability to grow food, housing, safety and work. Some of us are already more vulnerable to climate impacts, such as people living in small island nations and other developing countries.      
Due to the rise in sea levels, people in the island nations are forced to be "CLIMATE REFUGEES".                                     
 

 

Every increase in global warming matters

In a series of UN reports, thousands of scientists and government reviewers agreed that limiting global temperature rise to no more than 1.5°C would help us avoid the worst climate impacts and maintain a tranquil climate. 

The seven biggest emitters alone (China, the United States of America, India, the European Union, Indonesia, the Russian Federation, and Brazil) accounted for about half of all global greenhouse gas emissions in 2020.


We face a huge challenge but our solutions could work!

Three broad categories of action are: cutting emissions, adapting to climate impacts and financing required adjustments.

Switching energy systems from fossil fuels to renewables like solar or wind is an important initiative. WE have to act now. The number of countries committed to NET ZERO by 2050, emissions should be halved to keep warming below 1.5°C. Achieving this means huge declines in the use of coal, oil and gas: over two-thirds of today’s proven reserves of fossil fuels should be preserved by 2050 in order to prevent catastrophic levels of climate change.

 

SUSTANABLE DEVELOPMENT 

Goal 13: CLIMATE ACTION 



Sustainable development charter of the UNITED NATIONS, is our planet savior. 

Sustainable Development Goal 13 (SDG 13 or Global Goal 13) is to limit and adapt to climate change The primary goal of this mission is to "Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts". SDG 13 and SDG 7 are complementary.

STEPS TO BE TAKEN UNDER THIS GOAL:-
  • Achieve the goal of NET ZERO carbon emissions by 2030. 
  • Decrease in using the traditional methods of using fossil fuels, coal, etc. and replace them with clean energies like solar and wind energy.
  • Preserve the planet's flora and fauna.
  • Reduce in the CARBON FOOTPRINT of every country.
