CLIMATE ACTION
Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts
 |
Climate change is a current reality, and already affects, in any way, all countries, on all continents, disturbing national economies, affecting lives and being expensive to people, communities and countries, today and probably even more in the future. These climatic changes are reflected, for example, in weather patterns, increasing sea level, extreme weather events, greenhouse gases emissions and the increase of the average temperature in the world, affecting mainly the poorest and most vulnerable people. To address these threats, there are already some affordable solutions that allow countries to increase adaptation efforts and a shift to cleaner and more resilient economies. However, climate change is a global challenge that does not respect borders, requiring solutions that need to be coordinated internationally. Countries adopted the Paris Agreement in 2015 which will be an essential element to achieve sustainable development goals. Source: INE |
