INTERNATIONAL DAY OF CLIMATE ACTION 2022

24th October every year is marked as International Day of Climate Action. International Day of Climate Action is a day dedicated to taking action and guarding against the perils of climate change. International Day of Climate Action is a worldwide movement initiated by young people concerned about climate change and global injustice. The environment consequences includes storms, intense drought, heat waves, rising sea level (flooding) desertification, land degradation, warming of oceans, habitat destruction. 

















             ACTING ON THE SCIENCE

Climate change is here, and most of it's effects will persist for centuries. But some of these irreversible changes can be slowed if humanity acts immediately and rapidly to reduce carbondioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions. We need to "decarbonize the world with green carbon". To stay below 1.5°C and well below the 2°C threshold that may trigger catastrophic climate change, we must;

- Halve global emissions by 2030.

- Achieve net zero emissions by 2050.

- Agree on landscape carbon removal targets.

- Deliver on and scale finance commitments to support countries and communities that are most impacted by climate change.

- Restore the earth's ecosystems.











.........We need a COLLECTIVE ACTION and SUSTAINABLE LIFESTYLE to COMBAT the CLIMATE CRISIS. The time to TAKE ACTION is NOW or NEVER.
