Tackling Climate Change

By now, the term “climate change” is familiar to most of us. Despite its somewhat abstract nature, there's mounting evidence of its real-world impact on our planet. Take, for example, the devastating wildfire in Lytton, B.C., Canada, in 2021. The village recorded unprecedented high temperatures for three consecutive days in June 2021, leading to a fierce wildfire that impacted thousands of lives and properties. This is just one of many incidents that showcase the reality of climate change and its consequences. Nations worldwide have recognized the urgency of addressing climate change. A landmark initiative in this direction is the Paris Agreement, which was endorsed in 2015 by 196 countries. This agreement aims to curb global warming by keeping the rise in global temperatures well below 2°C.
