  • Climate change threatens people and the planet. From rising carbon emissions to plastic in our oceans, the degradation of our environment could reverse progress made in tackling poverty.

  • In order to halt this crisis, world leaders must immediately focus on reducing carbon emissions, helping communities adapt to the effects of climate change, and ensuring there's a price on pollution.
