Climate Crisis
The climate crisis has been one of the rising concerns as we proceed further and further in time. This crisis has been causing panic around the world, with people and organizations taking steps in the hope of things working out in their favor. As Secretary General Antonia Guterres of the UN pointed out in September, “the climate emergency is a race we are losing, but it is a race we can win.”
