No Action is Not an Option
Climate change can be described with one word, it is BIG. It has big risks, big events and big countries being involved.
Alone, climate change is too big for one person to handle. But together, we can all handle climate change in so many creative ways. In fact right now as you are reading, countries in the world are fighting climate change in many many ways.
Today more than 196 countries signed a climate change agreement; The Paris Agreement which sets out a goal of preventing the world from warming above 2 degrees celsius or a further 1.5 degrees celsius before 2100. With 196 countries, that is equivalent to more than 7 billion people in the world ready to take on climate change!
Thanks to the effort of 7 billion people, we’re seeing progress in stopping climate change in so many ways. From simple people recycling and being more mindful about what they drink and eat. To schools and universities teaching thousands and millions of students on fighting climate change. To something as grand as scientists and engineers creating and installing new and better solar cells. To the rise of green economies, where companies and industries are selling more cleaner and responsible products. There are so many ways to tackle climate change. So many options for you to choose from!
So now, to end this chapter and a start for you, think about what you want to do to tackle climate change! Climate Change is BIG so don’t be afraid to think BIGGER!
