So much opportunity to be had in every community and nation. While we transition the grid to green energy, it’s not enough to secure a livable future for our children and many currently. We have the knowledge for a sustainable world. So many are doing the amazing work that unites us🌍 #climatechange
António Guterres reminds us of the triple planetary crisis we are living in - with the threats of climate change, nature and biodiversity loss, pollution and waste - enhancing urgency for climate action and the need for countries to recover better together.
“We need to waste nothing.”With this, comes tremendous opportunity. Synthetic fibers have been found in an alarmingly large amount of human blood samples. Innovation in clothing is happening now. Thrift and quality first. And demand change and it will happen fast!

We used to regard many areas as too essential to the public good to be commercialized; they were protected by tradition and regulation. Now, everything is
becoming fair game -- land, oceans, air, water, education, health, energy and social assistance. Where do we draw the line?

Pakistan's Supreme Court challenges the construction of cement plant: In 2021, the Supreme Court of Pakistan upheld a notification barring the construction of new cement plants or the expansion of existing cement plants in environmentally fragile zones called “negative areas”. In that case, a cement company owner challenged the notification because it violated their constitutional right to freedom of trade, business and profession. The Supreme Court upheld the notification as a climate-resilient measure due to the activities’ potential environmental impact, especially on groundwater. The court emphasized the need to consider climate change in government decisions and the impact of climate change on water resources.
