Cities need to become role models for action against climate change
Last 18 months have been the most trying for humanity in the last 100 years. We are not talking of Coronavirus (Covid-19), but a greater, deadlier danger that we are facing collectively as citizens of this planet – climate change.
Literally unbelievable events have unfolded whether it’s the heat dome in Canada, flash floods in Germany, unprecedented snow in Spain, extraordinary spell of rain in China or the latest flooding in New York. Besides, loss of human life and property, these events are depleting natural capital in the impacted areas. The losses suffered by flora and fauna in Australia’s forest fires are not to be taken mildly. Where are we headed and how quickly we can correct the course before it becomes too late.
