Climate Change & Environment
The changing climate and environmental issues are rising at a global level. There are topics such as extreme weather, carbon footprint tracking, renewable energy, and sustainable practices that are crucial due to rising climate action and global policy initiatives. This year is reported to be the second-warmest year of the decade. This year witnessed several climatic conditions like Wildfires, particularly in North America, and flooding in South Asia and other regions, which have been intensified by climate change, causing billions in damage and threatening millions with hunger or displacement.
