Global Warming
We have to act now before our planet is irreversibly damaged
Climate change is
becoming more and more visible and mainstream because the world is warming, and
the latest heatwaves sweeping across the world is seeing the hottest average
spring and summer temperatures on record in over a century, with some the
hottest temperatures recorded in years. Our planet is warming due to the vast amounts of CO2 released in the atmosphere which is responsible for global warming, planting trees will help reverse this.
At the United Nations climate change conference in Paris, COP 21, governments agreed that mobilizing stronger and more ambitious climate action is urgently required to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement. Action must come from governments, cities, regions, businesses and investors. Everyone has a role to play in effectively implementing the Paris Agreement.
The Paris Agreement formally acknowledges the urgent need to scale up our global response to climate change, which supports even greater ambition from governments. The commitments from all actors are recognized in the decision text of the Paris Agreement, including those launched through the Lima–Paris Action Agenda.
The United Nations Climate Neutral Now Initiative promotes additional voluntary action on climate change. It encourages and supports organizations and other interested stakeholders to act now in order to achieve a climate neutral world by 2050 as enshrined in the Paris Agreement. The UK alone needs to plant over 1½ billion more trees to become carbon neutral.
To facilitate planting a large number of trees needed to reverse climate change the Green Investment Corporation offers varies green investment opportunities.
