Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts

United Nations Goal no. 13 of the Sustainable Development Goals.


Climate change is now affecting every country on every continent. It is disrupting national economies and affecting lives, costing people, communities and countries dearly today and even more tomorrow. Weather patterns are changing, sea levels are rising, weather events are becoming more extreme and greenhouse gas emissions are now at their highest levels in history. Without action, the world’s average surface temperature is likely to surpass 3 degrees centigrade this century. The poorest and most vulnerable people are being affected the most.

Affordable, scalable solutions are now available to enable countries to leapfrog to cleaner, more resilient economies. The pace of change is quickening as more people are turning to renewable energy and a range of other measures that will reduce emissions and increase adaptation efforts. Climate change, however, is a global challenge that does not respect national borders. It is an issue that requires solutions that need to be coordinated at the international level to help developing countries move toward a low-carbon economy.


To strengthen the global response to the threat of climate change, countries adopted the Paris Agreement at the COP21 in Paris, which went into force in November of 2016. In the agreement, all countries agreed to work to limit global temperature rise to well below 2 degrees centigrade. As of April 2018, 175 parties had ratified the Paris Agreement and 10 developing countries had submitted their first iteration of their national adaptation plans for responding to climate change.

    My thoughts

  • With increasing knowledge and understanding how the climate is affected, and how we as individuals affect the climate, consciously and unconsciously, I struggle daily to change my behavior for reduce my CO2 footprint.
    The path I have chosen and believe in, is the need to reduce the use of things that need energy, directly or indirectly, Accordingly I need to choose what I can do and buy.
    With an increasing minimalist thinking, my thoughts are often, what do we really need?
