Dear readers,
The burning of fossil fuels are the main contributor to climate change, and countries around the world need to transition to clean energy. But developing countries need assistance to do this. For example, the use of dirty fuels in Ghana can be combatted with subsidies to households for clean fuels.
In India, coal production declined during COVID-19, and the government is keen to move towards a gas-based economy, which could reduce air pollution.
Other climate-friendly policies in India have had a slow implementation, such as the government’s tree planting target.
Climate change is destroying the Earth’s valuable systems, and Antarctica’s largest iceberg recently suffered a major split – this could have long-term ramifications. The good news is that sixty four per cent of 1.2 million people around the world surveyed by UNDP believe that climate change is a global emergency.
