The threat of climate change is growing more real and more urgent by the day. According to Climate Nexus, a rise in temperature by 1.5 percent can lead to sea-level rise of 48cm, leaving 46 million people at risk of displacement; this could mean water shortages in Asia, Australia, the Mediterranean and Brazil; it will bring down the production of essentials like wheat, maize and soybeans; and as per estimates by World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), this will put 20-30 percent of species at risk of extinction. These are just some of the risks posed by climate change.
