The Climate Crisis: Where We Stand
The Earth’s temperature is rising at an alarming rate. In 2020, global temperatures were already 2.3°C higher than pre-industrial levels, and if we don’t take action, we could surpass 4.6°C by 2100. This would turn the Mediterranean region into an unbearable heat zone, force mass migrations, and accelerate Arctic ice melt. If we reach a 3°C increase, entire regions could become uninhabitable, sea levels might rise by 120 meters, and coral reefs would be wiped out, causing devastating biodiversity loss. The consequences are dire, but there is still time to act.
The Role of Policy and Action
The IPCC has already laid out the necessary solutions to slow climate change, and if implemented immediately, we could limit the temperature rise to 1.5°C. But this requires more than just plans—it demands real action from governments. Young people have a critical role in this fight. By pressuring politicians, reducing personal emissions, and advocating for change, they can make a tangible difference. Using public transport, walking instead of driving, supporting climate-friendly policies, and educating communities are all ways to contribute to a more sustainable future. Solutions exist—it’s time to push policymakers to act on them.
