Our mother earth is getting warmer day by day due to natural as well as anthropogenic activities leading to climate change. we have already breached 1.5 degrees Celsius according to International data which was agreed upon in the Paris Agreement (2015) to reduce emissions.
In 1992 the global wake happened which led to the formation of the United Nations Framework on Climate Change and Conservation (UNFCCC) which explicitly addresses climate change, establishing an annual forum (the Conference of the Parties or COP) for international climate negotiations. recently we addressed COP 28 which was held in DUBAI. COP28 explicitly addressed the need to transition away from fossil fuels in energy systems, in a just, orderly and equitable manner, to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. It also established a Loss and Damage fund which will help developing countries to have strong financial support to transform energy and technology sustainably.
although many treaties and conventions have been signed, we cannot achieve them because of the rigid nature of developed countries like the United States, which is backing out from financial assistance. also, we are living in an unstable world with lots of war which shifts the focus from sustainability to warfare.
