SOLUTION

Global warming

Imagine Earth like a giant greenhouse. Sunlight shines in to warm up inside. Normally, some heat escapes back out. But global warming makes the trapping heat build up, making Earth warmer than usual.

aims to limit global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius, preferably to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

CAUSES

Deforestation

Burning fossil fuels

Greenhouse Gases (GHGs):

The primary culprit - human activities releasing heat-trapping gases like carbon dioxide (CO2), methane, and nitrous oxide.

Cutting down trees reduces natural carbon capture

Practices like methane-emitting livestock and nitrous oxide-releasing fertilizers contribute

Rising temperatures leading to extreme weather events, floods, droughts, and rising sea levels

Warming oceans damage coral reefs, impacting marine ecosystems

Extreme weather events costing billions in repairs to damaged infrastructure

Cutting Emissions

Many countries aimed for "net-zero" emissions by 2050, balancing released and removed greenhouse gases.

Over 140 countries aimed to stop deforestation by 2030, preserving vital carbon sinks.

providing $100 billion annually by 2025 to aid developing countries in climate action.

Vietnam's Commitments:

Halting deforestation by 2030
