10 ways you can be part of the climate solution

Extreme events such as large fires, floods, storms, and heat waves attract the attention of the media and the general public. Statistical analysis shows that these phenomena are becoming more frequent due to climate change. Climate change is one of the biggest challenges of today, but each of us can help fight it and build a better future.

What is climate change?

Human activities affect the Earth's climate because they cause the release of huge amounts of greenhouse gases. These greenhouse gases are mainly produced by burning fossil fuels for energy production and other human activities such as deforestation, livestock farming, and chemical production. The greenhouse effect on our planet's atmosphere increases temperature, which leads to major climate changes.

Climate change can transform our planet and affect our food, water supply, and health. Early reaction is the best option. Each of us can contribute to the preservation of the planet by changing our lifestyle.
