Conservation and Climate

The Climate Challenge

Climate change is the single biggest health threat facing humanity. Climate impacts are already harming health, through air pollution, disease, extreme weather events, forced displacement, pressures on mental health, and increased hunger and poor nutrition in places where people cannot grow or find sufficient food.

Causes of Climate Change

The main causes of climate change are increased greenhouse gas emissions from human activities, including burning fossil fuels for energy and transportation, deforestation, industrial processes, agricultural practices like livestock farming, and waste decomposition. These activities release gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, which trap heat in the atmosphere and lead to global warming and a changing climate.

Our Conservation Approach

Conservation refers to the protection, preservation, and responsible management of natural resources, species, and ecosystems to prevent their destruction, neglect, or exploitation for future generations. It involves a broad range of activities, including maintaining wildlife habitats, using resources efficiently, and protecting biological diversity.

Clean Energy Solutions

Clean energy is power generated from sources with minimal to no carbon emissions or other pollutants, making them environmentally friendly and sustainable. Unlike fossil fuels, clean energy sources like solar, wind, hydropower, and geothermal power are naturally replenished and reduce pollution and greenhouse gases. Shifting to clean energy helps combat climate change, improves air quality, fosters energy independence, and promotes economic growth in a sustainable manner.
