If you weren’t aware of the recently passed activities in the current world, let me give you a smaller brief.

Each and every picture above, will tell you one thing: the world is dying as we speak. And there are no Gods and prayers that will bring back life to the deaths encountered the indigenous flora and fauna destroyed or the millions of people to directly affect.

Under the sustainable development goal 13 where we speak on Climate Action, while there have been progress in the climate change till May of 2019, the recent events that had occurred around the globe may have drastically reduced this rate of progress. While the SDGs of the 2030 agenda are inter-connected, results we gain from goal 13, affects goal 14 and 15; life on land and life below water. Moreover, if we fail to protect our ozone layer, it will lead to affects in Goal 6: clean water and sanitation which will continue to lead on to affecting good health and well-being, zero hunger, poverty, peace and justice and so on.

The disruption and the destruction you see today are results of our own hands. Directly or indirectly, the world is comings to end because of our own actions. While earth was no man’s creation, it is our duty to protect it as one. With the development growth of a country, it may sound reasonable to accommodate the increasing population compromising of good houses, roads, buildings and pavements. But despite this movement, we still need air to breath, healthy food to live. And no concrete jungle will give you this.

Looking at the burning earth right now, it would be inhumane not to make at least the smallest notice. We all need to understand that we are all responsible for this in a way and that it is our duty to make a change to the world. one person might not be able to rebuild Amazon, but if we all could plant at least one tree this year, water it and see it grow we have just grown 7.54 billion trees.
