We already know how to reduce emissions, capture CO₂, restore ecosystems, and adapt our cities.
What’s hardest is still missing: doing it together 🌍

According to United Nations data and the CRED, we’ve gone from ~200 extreme weather events per year in the 1980s to over 400 today.
These aren’t natural disasters. They’re climate disasters
And we can prevent them if we work together 🌍
