Climate. How to deal with it

Societies have a role to play to tackle climate change, although some of us do not know how. This post presents ways to fight this climate crisis.   Even though personal actions might be incapable of drastically reducing worldwide carbon emissions, our actions can raise awareness to people in charge of the decision-making process. The most effective way to influence policies is to speak up, take action, recruit others, and vote. Let companies and governments know your support for eco-friendly policies. This will put pressure on their agenda and will make them take immediate action to fight this crisis.   “Use your voice, use your vote, use your choice.”                Al Gore, 45th vice president of the United States   If you are going to vote, read the government official’s plans to combat climate change.   You can even take action by educating your friends about the effects of climate change in our life.

  Does renewable energy adoption hold the key to save our planet? Renewable energy production now accounts for 15% of our annual electricity consumption, and it is projected to reach 25% by year 2050, the deadline set by Paris agreement.

World leaders were hesitant to reach a unanimous decision, set clear goals and impose restrictions on companies and industries, but things have started moving in the right direction with a prime example being the Paris Agreement (2015).   What can you do as an individual to help mitigate climate change?   Some will tell you, buy an electric car, use mass transport more often, take less flights, turn your thermostat down etc. Although all these things help reduce the carbon footprint of an individual, it is within your powers to make a substantial impact through the choice of your next meal.

Additionally, a high rate of deforestation ca

The world is changing, fast and sometimes irreversible. To tackle climate change, one needs to know where we are and also what needs to be done. Paris agreement Whenever politicians, debaters or activists talk about climate change they usually refer back to the Paris Agreement. The Paris Agreement is an agreement between 195 countries to limit climate warming to 2 degrees celsius, preferably to 1,5 degrees. The agreement was passed in the United Nations in 2015 and is divided into different parts. One part is the NDC, Nationally Determined Contribution, where each country describes what they as a member can contribute to the agreement. The NDCs are updated every five years and are mandatory for all members. In the EU's latest NDC, The EU is committed to reduce their net domestic emission by 55 % in 2030 from 1990 . Another part of the agreement is the financial part.  A fund was created to provide support to poorer countries in their fight against climate change. The Paris Agreem
