The climate emergency is a global crisis caused by human activities, primarily the burning of fossil fuels, which has led to rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and environmental degradation. Scientists warn that urgent action is needed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and transition to sustainable energy sources.

Governments and organizations worldwide have declared climate emergencies to emphasize the need for immediate action. The United Nations stresses that while the crisis is severe, it is a race we can still win through bold collective efforts.
