We are in a climate emergency.
The Earth is already over 1.3 °C warmer than pre-industrial times.
2024 was the hottest year ever recorded.
More than 150 climate disasters struck the world last year.
Extreme weather displaced over 800,000 people.
Wildfires and floods now define the new normal.
We are failing the 1.5 °C goal unless we act now.
COP30 is coming to Belém, Brazil, in November 2025.
But talk is not enough.
We must shift systems, not just carbon.
From blind targets to equitable transitions.
From fossil lock-in to regenerative energy.
From climate policy at arm’s length to climate justice at the core.
Every fraction of a degree matters; now more than ever.
Women, Indigenous Peoples, and low-income communities pay the highest price.
We need mass decarbonization, climate finance, and rights-based adaptation.
We need unity across sectors, borders, and generations.
The choices we make today will decide the severity of tomorrow.
October 24 | International Day for Climate Action.
Act now. For Justice. For Survival.
