The ENVIRONMENT and HUMANS are intertwined. An unhealthy environment equals an unsustainable existence for life.
The future of our planet and of our people depends on whether or not the global community heeds the warnings of what will come if our practices of consumption do not change. The United Nations IPCC (International Panel on Climate Change) published in a 2018 report that only a dozen years remain until we pass the point of no return in addressing the anthropologic factors that contribute to climate change. The consequences of continued global warming will not only affect temperatures, animal extinction rates, and water levels, but will threaten much, much more.

Sustaining life is an extremely complex and sensitive process; a disruption in the equation for life can wreak havoc. What can we expect to see if climate change is not addressed on a global scale? Droughts, food scarcity, crop failure, rising water levels, mass extinctions, depleted water resources, mass migration, climate refugees, depleting resources, etc., all which will lower standards of living and the possibility to maintain basic human rights. That's why, in addition to science and reason, we must look at climate change through the lens of human rights to advocate for our future and our children's futures, hold governments accountable, and save our planet.
