Climate change is one of the most pressing global challenges of our time, impacting ecosystems, economies, and communities worldwide. The adverse effects of climate change, such as extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and loss of biodiversity, threaten sustainable development and exacerbate existing inequalities. These changes pose severe risks to ecosystems, human health, food security, water resources, and economic stability worldwide. Addressing these challenges requires a multi-faceted approach that integrates justice, advocacy, negotiation, adaptation, and finance.
