“Start today. Reduce, reuse, and advocate for change.”

Solutions are Within Reach

The good news is that we have the tools to combat climate change—if we act now. Transitioning to renewable energy sources like wind, solar, and hydro can significantly reduce global carbon emissions. Reforestation projects help absorb CO2, while sustainable agriculture and transportation systems reduce environmental impact. Governments must enforce policies that limit emissions and promote green innovation, but individual actions matter too. By making conscious choices—like reducing energy consumption, limiting waste, and supporting environmental policies—we can all contribute to a healthier planet.

  • Renewable energy sources accounted for 29% of global electricity generation in 2020 and are rapidly growing.
  • Planting 1 trillion trees could absorb over 200 gigatons of carbon dioxide.
  • The Paris Agreement aims to keep global warming below 2°C and ideally below 1.5°C.

“We are the first generation to feel the effects of climate change and the last generation who can do something about it.”
