Just in case you have forgotten...

We depend on nature, nature doesn't depend on us.

Our lives and livelihoods depend on it.
We have the solutions to Climate Change, let's implement them.

Climate change is not only a public health issue, but also a threat to our economic & national security. This is why economic policies such as a carbon fee are necessary to drastically reduce CO2 emissions. #netzeroby2050 #PriceOnCarbon #ClimateAction https://t.co/aIUeAj6nn0

Why is 1.5 degrees C important for climate change?

"Bottom line: Going above 1.5 degrees of warming puts millions more at risk of potentially life-threatening heatwaves and poverty."

Like the COVID-19 pandemic, Climate Change is a global health crisis happening RIGHT NOW. Extreme weather changes, dangers to physical and mental health, disruptions in food and water supplies…this is the future if we don’t take #ClimateAction now.

[Arusha A @OcpSsw]

After largest ever reduction in CO2 emissions in 2020 due to the pandemic, global emissions have rebounded strongly. It shouldn't take a global health crisis to lower worldwide demand for coal, oil, and gas.

My name is Greta Thunberg and I am inviting you to be a part of the solution.

As #ParisAgreement turns 5, our leaders present their 'hopeful' distant hypothetical targets, 'net zero' loopholes and empty promises.


But the real hope comes from the people.
