ONE MORE TRAUMA FOR THE PLANET : Shrinkage of glacier in Venezuela
It’s very saddening that Venezuela became the first country to lose all its glaciers which was once home to six glaciers.
Definitely this losing is going to severely affect rest of the world as it is going to cause more deterioration on the planet. The condition is already bad but after this it is going to be out of control as of now it’s not in human control and the nature has taken the charge.
It’s seeming that nature is taking the revenge of the deeds done by humans to destroy it. If one by one these things are going to happen one day nothing will be left here on our planet.
*Affects of losing the glacier on other countries:
#Climate change:The major affect of glacier losing will definitely be climate change.
#Threat of people descending:Now approximately 200000 people in Venezuela are facing the threat of descending into sevre poverty by 2030.
#Difficulties in agriculture: Definitely this is going to affect climate change and it will directly or indirectly will affect agriculture.
#Fight for survival: Fittest will survive once again. In future it’s going to create rush in human society. Resources are going to decrease and the people needing it will surely increase with time.
Changes in sea level:Sea level will be affected with this shrinking, it is again going to disturb the flora, fauna and the planet with changes in its water level.
#Shortage of freshwater: Glaciers always act as an important source for freshwater especially in hot seasons and in the dry places.
Dependence on rainwater will increase: As glaciers will not be there now dependence on rainwater will increase for freshwater.

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.
