A United Stand against Climate Change; by Muhammad Arhab

It is high time that climate change should be addressed in the best possible manner because the horrific consequences of it are causing drastic impacts on the environment. Climate change consequences include global warming, flooding, increased wildfires, problems for aquatic life, reducing agricultural yields, and a decline in water supplies (Jackson, 2019).

Climate change, from a broader perspective, is imparting destructive effects on our environment. These effects of climate change cause a direct threat to the existence of life on earth. The picture is not entirely gloomy, and there is still light at the end of the tunnel. There are several solutions that we can work on to counter climate change. One of the most prominent and vital solutions is to go green. This is for each sector of life and, most importantly, the corporate sector.

Increased focus on the promotion of Ecopreneurship is required. Mitigation and adaptation are integral practices and the usage of renewable sources of energy (Change, 2019).

Reducing water waste, using fuel-efficient vehicles, and contributing to the pursuit of lowering the emission of greenhouse gases. These are some of the solutions that every individual can practice to improve the climate condition and, in turn, our world a better place to live. These solutions will bear fruits in every field of life.

To ensure these solutions' success, the whole world must take a united stand in the fight against this rapid climate change. A united stand against climate change does not just mean for us to gather at a platform or become a part of a movement; rather, it starts with the individuals' daily life activities. The collective sum of the approach of individuals defines our stance in this regard. It is to change the mindset from the grassroots level to the state and even the international level of leaving for others to save the planet and not play our role in it. This is what it means to come forward and become a part of this global war against climate change.

We need to realize the importance of this grave issue and contribute our part in this struggle to contain and reverse the effects of climate change. The issue of climate change is a significant aspect of the paradigm of the non-traditional security of the world. If not dealt with appropriately, it can cause havoc for humanity (Anthony, 2016). It is important to observe it, excluding the political and economic misconceptions and prejudices.

Climate change knows no borders and affects the developed and the developing nations without any discrimination. This makes it imperative for we as human to stand together in our pursuit to end climate change once and for all. All we need to do is to be friends and give a little back to our environment for our good.
