Climate change is an urgent global issue driven predominantly by human activities, particularly burning fossil fuels, which release greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane. These gases act as a thermal blanket around Earth, leading to an unprecedented warming trend of a 1.1°C rise in global temperatures since the late 1800s. The implications are far-reaching and multidimensional, ranging from extreme weather events to sea-level rise, affecting various aspects of human life like health, housing, and food security. Vulnerable communities in small island nations and developing countries bear a disproportionate brunt of the impacts, exacerbating existing global inequalities. While the situation is dire, actionable solutions exist. Transitioning to renewable energy sources like wind and solar is critical. Adaptation measures, including disaster preparedness and early warning systems, are crucial for vulnerable populations. Despite the financial costs of these interventions, the repercussions of inaction are significantly higher. The seven largest emitters, including China and the United States, have a greater responsibility to lead these efforts as they account for approximately half of global greenhouse gas emissions.
