Fighting the climate change

Crisis

97% of climate experts agree.

We are the cause of this crisis.

Secretary General, United Nations

We are in a race against time to adapt to a rapidly changing climate. Adaptation must not be the forgotten component of climate action. We have both a moral imperative and a clear economic case for supporting developing countries to adapt and build resilience to current and future climate impacts.

Explore the science behind it

The ocean plays a central role in regulating the Earth’s climate.

The Fifth Assessment Report published by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 2013 revealed that it has thus far absorbed 93% of the extra energy from the enhanced greenhouse effect, with warming now being observed at depths of 1,000 m.

The Crisis

The ocean is being disproportionately impacted by increasing carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions from human activities.

The Solutions

Globally ambitious efforts are needed to reduce the use of fossil fuels, and increase the use of renewable energy systems.

What Experts say

It’s not that the world hasn’t had more carbon dioxide, it’s not that the world hasn’t been warmer. The problem is the speed at which things are changing. We are inducing a sixth mass extinction event kind of by accident and we don’t want to be the ‘extinctee.’

One can see from space how the human race has changed the Earth. Nearly all of the available land has been cleared of forest and is now used for agriculture or urban development. The polar icecaps are shrinking and the desert areas are increasing.
