There are many who announce that perhaps the next battle we must fight together will be climate change. In fact, this is a palpable reality that demands a significant change in the lifestyle and consumption habits of all human beings and that, although today there are more forceful actions to take care of the planet, efforts must be even greater and collective.
Although 2020 marked the fifth anniversary of the signing of the Paris Agreement, the objectives to prevent the worsening of global warming have not been successfully achieved. In this regard, the Secretary General of the United Nations, António Guterres, warned about the urgency of making decisions on the issue.
At the 75th session of the UN General Assembly, Guterres said that according to the latest report of the World Meteorological Organization, “The past decade was the warmest on record and greenhouse gas concentrations have continued to rise. Carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels and wildfires reached a record high in 2019 and are 62% higher than in 1990.”.
