A day to protect the environment

We can thus see, over the years, the consequences of climate change on Mount Kilimanjaro (Tanzania), on the Sermersooq glacier (Greenland), on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and on the forests of Harz in Elend (Germany). Between coral bleaching and the melting of eternal snow, the result is worrying.

By clicking on the animations offered by Google, Internet users are redirected to a page containing information on the effects of climate change. Every year, Earth Day raises environmental awareness and promotes initiatives to preserve biodiversity.

To tackle the threat of climate change, underdeveloped and developing countries need money, and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has highlighted the failings of developed nations that have failed to meet their climate finance commitments.

The world’s major economies, including the US, have yet to meet their commitments to a $100 billion a year climate fund. US chief Antonio Guterres has urged donor countries and multilateral development banks to show progress toward the goal of increasing the proportion of funding dedicated to helping countries adapt to climate change to 50 percent that wealthy nations are expected to pay up to $75 billion short of its long-standing pledge to mobilize $100 billion each year to help countries hardest hit by climate change.

Extreme weather events have become more intense and frequent.   The US announced in March that rich countries could finally keep their pledge to provide $100 billion a year starting this year to help poor nations deal with climate change. US climate chief John Kerry had said that President Joe Biden is committed to increasing US funding to developing countries to help with climate change. However, with the US now indirectly involved in the conflict with Russia in Ukraine, Biden’s climate policy has taken a new turn.
