No one can predict with certainty what or when these natural phenomena will occur, but the earth is already experiencing a series of effects that we cannot evade.

Reading in different websites on climate change and new news related to this issue of vital importance, we find an open letter written by a group of experts, who alert that the planet is about three years Before the worst effects of climate change occur, and these effects are irreversible.

Projects and plans for cities and states to abandon fossil fuel energy in 2050, with funding of $300 billion annually.

Ensure that 15% of all new vehicles sold are electric.

Reduce net emissions from deforestation.

Publish a plan to halve emissions from deforestation by 2050.

Encourage the financial sector to issue more "green bonds" for climate mitigation efforts.
