“Climate change does not respect
border; it does not respect who you are - rich and poor, small and big.
Therefore, this is what we call 'global challenges,' which require global
solidarity.” ― Ban Ki-moon
Currently there are innumerable global
challenges including intolerance, terrorism, climate change, poverty,
malnutrition and disease. People are busy with their personal, professional and
social lives due to rising volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity
globally. They are more concerned about present and their children.
Unfortunately, they are not concerned about others and the future. It led to
focusing on the philosophy of ‘profit first, people second and planet third’
which is a step in retrograde direction. Above all, they often think about ‘what is in
it for me’ rather than adding value to others. In this article, we will discuss
about climate change which poses a grave threat to the globe and it questions
the very survival of human race.
The consequences of climate change
include intense heat waves and super storms to rising sea levels. Additionally,
there are innumerable threats to public health. Therefore, it is essential to
shift from the philosophy of ‘profit first, people second and planet third’ to
‘people first, planet second and profit third’.
It is essential to reduce carbon
emissions that are fuelling climate change. There's no "silver
bullet" that will solve climate change. If climate change is not addressed
immediately and earnestly, there will be chaos globally with migration of
people and alterations in geographical boarders. Hence, climate change affects
all counties globally. No nation can be spared. Every nation must come forward
to address this issue. All leaders from developed and developing countries must
work hard collectively to address this challenge. It is futile to blame some
countries for the present global scenario as all are responsible to the present
global mess.
Conclusion
“The most important thing about global
warming is this. Whether humans are responsible for the bulk of climate change
is going to be left to the scientists, but it's all of our responsibility to
leave this planet in better shape for the future generations than we found it.”
― Mike Huckabee
Don’t live beyond your means. Live
within your means to protect the environment. Every global citizen must be
conscious about the environment. It is everybody’s responsibility. We cannot
pin the total responsibility on leaders alone. Every right thinking global
citizen must take responsibility to protect this beautiful plant.
"No challenge poses a greater
threat to future generations than climate change" ― Barack Obama
