What can we do – you and me - to fight Climate Change and Global Warming?

The IPCC report from 2018 stated that we have a window of 12 years to take drastic action to cut down our CO2 emissions. If we don't succeed, and the earth keeps warming more, the consequences will be extreme and difficult to live in and survive, for most people and for the rest of the natural world. There are already thousands of species that have gone extinct.

According to science, we have 11 years left to prevent these extreme conditions.

However, new reports are saying that the political steps to enable the cuts to carbon to take place will have to happen before the end of 2020....15 months from October 2019.

The global average temperature, that now is 1,2 degrees higher than it was pre-industrialisation, needs to not rise more than 1,5 degrees.
If it does rise more than 1.5 degrees – and some say this is inevitable - there is a real risk of “run away” processes and self-reinforcing feedback loops that will further increase and speed up the global warming - causing the ice to melt faster, more and deeper draughts in big areas of Africa and other parts of the world, and more and bigger cyclones like Idiai and Kenneth that recently devastated Mozambique.

We are very late in addressing Global Warming and Climate Change.
So now, when it is “2 minutes to 12”...what can we do then?

There are many things we can do!

There is much going on! Read more here for some examples:
