Climate Change
Our climate is breaking down. Rising seas and extreme weather events are costing lives and putting tens of millions of people around the world at risk. And younger generations are being robbed of their future on a healthy, liveable planet. But climate change also presents an opportunity to change the way we live so we improve things for us and the planet. Greenpeace 2023 https://www.greenpeace.org.uk/challenges/climate-change/
