Climate Change and Global Action: A


Race Against Time
Climate change is the defining challenge of our time. Driven by greenhouse gas emissions
from burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes, the planet is experiencing
rising temperatures, sea level rise, extreme weather events, and biodiversity loss.

Scientists warn that to avoid catastrophic outcomes, we must limit global warming to 1.5°C
above pre-industrial levels. Achieving this goal requires global cooperation, bold policies,
and rapid transformation of energy, transportation, and food systems.

The 2015 Paris Agreement marked a turning point in international climate action. Yet,
current pledges remain insufficient. Countries must increase their commitments, phase out
fossil fuels, protect forests, invest in renewables, and support climate adaptation in
vulnerable regions.

Individuals also have a role. Choices around transportation, diet, energy use, and
consumption matter. Climate literacy, activism, and community action amplify impact.

The climate crisis is urgent but solvable. With innovation, political will, and global
solidarity, a sustainable, resilient, and equitable world is still within reach.
