The most pressing issue facing humanity today is climate change. Climate change has been caused by human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation and agricultural practices that release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This increase in greenhouse gases has led to rising temperatures, extreme weather events, melting glaciers and sea levels rise. These changes have already had devastating impacts on people’s lives, livelihoods and environment. In addition, the effects of climate change will be felt for generations to come.
