Climate change has become an urgent global issue, affecting ecosystems, human health, and the economy. In recent years, attention to this crisis has increased, driven by rising global temperatures and extreme weather events. One major issue in recent developments is the rise of public awareness and activism. Many youth movements, including Greta Thunberg’s “Fridays for Future” movement, have mobilized millions of people to fight for concrete action. In many countries, demonstrations and campaigns are held regularly, demanding that governments take concrete steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. At the global level, the UN Climate Change Conference, COP26, which will be held in Glasgow in 2021 is a focal point for many countries. Countries committed to strengthening their efforts to reduce CO2 emissions and keep global temperature rise below 1.5 degrees Celsius. These include ambitious emissions reduction targets and agreements to halt deforestation and increase investment in renewable energy. However, major challenges remain. Recent data shows that despite progress, global greenhouse gas emissions are still at record levels, with a report from the International Energy Agency (IEA) indicating that the post-pandemic economic recovery has increased energy consumption and emissions. Developing countries are often caught in a dilemma between economic development and emissions reduction, making this challenge even more complex. Technology also plays a crucial role. Innovative solutions such as carbon capture, renewable energy (such as solar and wind), and electric vehicles are growing rapidly. Companies and governments are investing in research and development of environmentally friendly technologies to drive the transition to a low-carbon economy. On the other hand, the impacts of climate change are increasingly felt. Floods, forest fires and severe droughts are occurring in various parts of the world, forcing countries to adapt. A report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) shows that without significant action, the consequences will be more severe, including a food crisis and high levels of climate migration. Climate change also raises issues of social justice. The countries hit hardest by the impact of the crisis are often those that contribute the least to global emissions. Therefore, global dialogue on climate finance and support for vulnerable countries is increasingly important to ensure that all countries, especially developing ones, have the resources necessary to adapt and transition to cleaner energy. Individual readiness to contribute is also increasing. Many people are starting to adopt sustainable lifestyles, such as reducing plastic use, consuming local products, and reducing their personal carbon footprint. Awareness of the importance of environmental protection has become part of the culture of modern society. Education about climate change is also a major focus. Schools and universities around the world are starting to integrate curricula that focus on sustainability and climate action, empowering young people to play an active role in these issues. Many public awareness programs and local initiatives are also carried out to increase public understanding of the impacts of climate change. Various international collaborations are underway, including net-zero initiatives taken by large corporations and financial institutions. They are committed to reducing their emissions and investing in solutions that help tackle climate change. This shows that the private sector is also part of the global solution. With a series of events taking place and new initiatives emerging, recent developments regarding the issue of climate change show that this challenge requires not only technical solutions but also changes in attitudes and policies around the world.
