Climate change is a global crisis that threatens the very foundation of our planet. The scientific consensus is clear: human activities, primarily the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, are driving unprecedented changes in our climate. Rising temperatures, more frequent extreme weather events, and the loss of biodiversity are just a few of the consequences we face.
