HUMAN ENVIRONMENT AND THE CLIMATE CHANGE
Aug 03, 2020It’s evidently clear that climate change already has an adverse effect on humans and their environment which is expected to increase in coming years if something is not done urgently.
These changes are caused by human activities like burning fossil fuels, agriculture and land-use, releasing heat-trapping gases - called greenhouse gases which include CO, CO2, etc leading to global warming. This Global warming has reached up to 10C, it should not exceed this.

This global warming caused lots of changes like rise in sea level, release of greenhouse gases among others.
Who is affected?
Predominantly women and children living near the riverine areas and the gas emitting plants.
We need to stop these emissions because:
- We all deserve equal protection,
- There is nothing to lose from acting, and everything to gain.
- We have the knowledge, power and ability to stop climate change,
Who is meant to stop this?:
YOU AND I, STATE, GOVERNMENT, CORPORATIONS.
Together we can make our environment, HEALTHY.
How?
1. WE ALL SHOULD JOIN HANDS TO
- Do everything possible to stop the global temperature rising by more than 1.5°C.
- Minimize the greenhouse gas emissions to zero by 2050
- Minimize or stop the use fossil fuels -coal, oil and gas at homes.
- Consider human rights when taking climate actions.
- Carry everyone along during the total transition out of fossil fuel use
- Work together to fairly share the burden of climate change - richer countries must help other
2. NCEHR APPEALS TO:
- The government of Nigeria to honor the Paris agreement of 2015.
