The vagaries of Climate Change and its impacts have come home to roost. Today, there is not a single organism on earth that is not impacted by it. For instance, take the summer months. They are hotter, longer, drier and more severe every year. Naturally, a burgeoning middle class is using more appliances like air – conditioners, to mitigate this impact. This is in turn adding to the problem itself through higher emissions due to increased energy consumption. A vicious cycle that feeds on itself.
On the other hand, looking at the COP26 summit, a conservative assessment would call the commitments made by PM Shri Narendra Modi at the summit to be ambitious. The ‘Panch Amrit’ targets are staggering and will require a herculean effort from all sections of society. Given that these commitments are legally binding, makes it even more imperative that they be met.
Scientists say it is too late to reverse some of the damage done. All we can do is to arrest the losses in these cases and try reversing the impact on others. Interestingly, this is not a problem for governments alone to solve. The war against climate change is one that must be fought on multiple fronts if we are to make any difference at all.
The good news is, each one of us has the tools necessary to make a difference! All we need is to be conscious of these and apply them to our daily lives.
