A CALL FOR CLIMATE ACTION- A REALITY WE CAN'T DENY

Living the  hard truths of #climate #change! People now watch helplessly, parts of their home vanish in flames.

It is #ClimateEmergency!  We must behave in a way that allow us to defeat climate change. Achieving  the ambitious  #Climate neutral world by 2050 is herculean but realizable if we pledge and put our tools to work for one planet, one life; one feature. Countries should do more by  investing  in climate education which is key;such awareness to drive climate action; right the wrong and create opportunities. A robust and inclusive climate framework would  carter for the poor and vulnerable groups; build a climate resilient infrastructures for rural dwellers, to enhance mitigation and adaptation processes.

 Investment in green businesses by countries would further accelerate  NDCs and reduce emissions to the global permissible benchmark of  2.5°C  by 2030. 

 In the energy sector, the use of renewable energy,particularly in a decentralized form would contribute to emissions reduction. Other options such as setting up multi- cycle power stations; scalable power stations of at least 20- 50MW; use of natural gas rather than liquid fuels etc.
Agriculture: adoption of climate smart agriculture would help restore degraded landscapes and boost agricultural yields.

Transport: there has to an efficient transport system both for urban and rural dwellers with improved road network; provide light and high speed rail across cities and encourage moving of freights ( cargo) to rail. An investment towards the use of CNG is advisable as well.

Benchmarking against international best practices for industrial energy usage and adoption of green technology in industry. Increase taxes on industries and countries whose  products or activities impact negatively on human health and environment. Here the adoption of standard for imported equipment will be considered, particularly in the field of refrigeration and air conditioning where there is a risk of dumping equipment that are being phased out in OECD countries.

The best way to go is making sure that we plant as much trees as possible for a greener and cleaner ecosystems.

 The year 2020 can bring a CHANGE with our collective resolve to accelerate action for climate change. It is no longer a story that's being told in scientific books,now we all can feel the climate reality. It is here with us. Our failure in tackling the global menace would bring about catastrophes which  we can't afford!  It is action beyond rhetorics! Let's #Act #Now. #ActOnClimate #ClimateAction #ClimateReality #ClimateCrisis
