Extreme Weather Events
With every extreme weather event the climate emergency impacts food security and economic stability and, ultimately, threatening safety and well-being of lives around the globe.
Climate impacts are not a future threat, they are happening now
The most intense impacts of the climate crisis are often experienced by those least responsible for the carbon emissions exacerbating extreme weather events. These communities urgently need empathy, aid, and climate action.
Fossil fuel companies have put profits over people and the planet and will continue to do so while masquerading as friends of the environment — unless we stop them. If governments don’t take urgent action for a just transition to renewable energy then the climate emergency is only going to get worse, with parts of the world becoming uninhabitable.
