Do you think our planet is …

The answer to this question depends on whom we ask. We might think that as individuals living in apartments or houses and access to basic necessities we are living on a safe and a dependable planet. However, if we look at global warming, diminishing habitats, depleting resources, deforestation, it is hard to believe that human activities have led us to a point where we are sceptical of the life on Earth after the next few decades.

The usage of dangerous gasses like co2, Hydrocarbon, Sulphur oxide is causing the ozone layer to break up This causes the ultra violet rays of the sun enter the earth’s atmosphere and risks humans to be affected by cancer.

Due to weather change and the water level increase some of the islands like Maldives, Cook islands and the city Venice will soon disappear.

If the water level increases a lot big cities like New York, Kolkata, Manhattan, Sydney, and all the coastal cities will be in danger.

If we set our minds to making the planet worth living for the future generations, our generation has a unique opportunity. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) can be achievable if we start a human-induced environmental change that will lead to a fundamental shift that necessitates a new economic model. Poverty will be halved, more diseases will be eradicated, global population will stabilize, and even the ozone layer will show signs of recovery.

We must come together and commit to cut greenhouse-gas emissions and transform the global energy system thereby making the planet sustainable and liveable for generations to come.
