Could be the determining factor in the face of the imminent global environmental crisis. This week we received like a bucket of cold water the 6th report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) made up of 234 renowned scientists from 66 countries, in which the culprit of the climate crisis is identified and confirmed: the activity of the human being and the industrialization model based on non-renewable sources. It is unequivocal, climate change is driven by us. It is proven that human beings have already warmed the planet by about 1.1 degrees Celsius, or 2 degrees Fahrenheit, since the 19th century. Many of the observed changes in climate are unprecedented in thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of years.
Global warming over the past 50 years has increased faster than at any time in the past 2,000 years. Even if we start drastically reducing our emissions today, total global warming would probably increase by around 1.5 degrees Celsius over the next two decades, meaning a warmer future is virtually a given. How hot? It depends on how much we accelerate the transition to a sustainable economic model that is greener, fairer and more competitive. For those of us Chinese Australia Phone Number List dedicated to sustainability, perhaps this report does not tell us anything new, but it does leave us with a deep sense of urgency, concern and frustration, seeing that time is running out, that there is absolutely no corner of the Land that has not suffered the consequences and that it is time to move from commitments, photographs, annual meetings and empty agreements, to urgent and forceful action. It's now or never.
This decade will mark a point of no return for climate change. We can be the generation that changes course, or the generation that had all the capacity, all the information and all the resources to change it and I prefer to lead future generations into the climate catastrophe. I want us to be the generation that changes course. The coronavirus pandemic has given us a glimpse of a global economy decimated by the crisis. The world has changed and nothing will be the same again. As the global health emergency due to COVID-19 continues, the global economic crisis is worsening. Economic decline, cancellation of contracts, millions of workers laid off, and the question we must ask ourselves: has the current economic model expired? We do not see that the green reactivation also represents a great economic opportunity.
