What is the state of health of our planet?

In order to answer this question, we must start from an awareness of the fact that the decade 2010 to 2020 closed as the hottest decade on recordThe rise in temperature - 1.25 degrees Celsius more than in the century of industrialisation - has a number of consequences for the environment and for the economy. melting glaciersthe rise in water levels, higher water levels, and more concentrationone of Co2 in the air we breathe.


Scientists estimate that within the next thirty years, glaciers below 3500 metres will disappear completely. This is a very serious loss, as glaciers are reservoirs of water that provide millions of persone with access to this precious resource.


The water level has already risen by 20-24 cm over the last two centuries and if we are unable to contain the rise in temperature, we will be at risk in the future. 2030 to register a increase in water level by about 1 metre.
When it comes to the quality of the air we breathe, the figures are no less alarming: the amount of Co2 in the air continues to increase due to human activities and fossil fuels. According to calculations by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), Co2 will reach a concentration of 500-1000 ppm by the end of the century.with dangerous consequences for the health of persone and the planet's ecosystems.


All these phenomena are clearly linked to the climate change and the figures show that the health of our planet is not good.


During the last UN Conference of the Parties, COP26which was held in Glasgow, it was stated that the planet is heading into uncharted territory, and Antonio GuterresSecretary-General of the United Nations, called on the parties to acting promptlyin the name of solidarity, for a breakthrough, "in order to safeguard our future and save humanity."


While on the one hand, politicians take steps to protect the planet and its inhabitants, on the other hand, citizens of the world are called upon to do their partone emissions from their activities. The turnaround that Guterres is talking about is a turnaround that also concerns the development modelenvironmental sustainability thinking goes hand in hand with environmental sustainability thinking. sustainability of development.
