2. Global climate change

GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE
The state of the planet today:
Critical limit: Temperatures have risen by +1.5°C — a tipping point
for many ecosystems.
Reason: 97% of scientists confirm — this is the result of fuel
combustion and deforestation.
Consequences: Extreme floods, droughts in Ukraine, and glaciers
melting at a rate of 1.2 trillion tons of ice per year.
What can we do together?
Energy transition: Investing in “green”
energy (solar, wind).
Conscious consumption: Reducing the
carbon footprint and the circular economy.
Nature conservation: Restoring forests and
protecting the oceans.

3. Water pollution (the global water crisis)

WATER POLLUTION
(THE GLOBAL WATER CRISIS)
Main sources of pollution:
Industrial waste: Discharge of heavy
metals, chemicals and toxins without
proper filtration.
Agriculture: Pesticides and fertilizers
entering groundwater.
Plastic collapse: Over 8 million tons
of plastic enter the ocean every year,
forming “garbage islands”.
Domestic waste: Insufficient sewage
treatment in large cities.
By 2030, 50% of the world's
population could face a shortage of
clean water.
The emergence of "dead zones" in the
oceans, where no creature can live due
to a lack of oxygen.
Microplastics have already been found
in human blood and food.

4. destruction of tropical forests

DESTRUCTION OF TROPICAL FORESTS
Every minute, the world loses an area of
forest the size of 10 football fields.
More than 20% of the Amazon rainforest has
already been destroyed; scientists warn that
we are approaching a “point of no return,”
after which the forest will turn into a dry
savanna.
Deforestation is responsible for ~12-15% of
all global greenhouse gas emissions (more
than the entire world’s transportation
sector).
Clearing land for cattle grazing and soybean
and palm oil plantations.
Illegal logging: Extraction of valuable timber
for export.
Mining: Quarrying for gold, oil, and rare
earth metals.

5. sea ​​level rise

SEA ​LEVEL RISE
The ocean absorbs more than 90%
of the planet's excess heat. As
water warms, it expands and takes
up more volume.
By the end of the century, sea levels could
Melting glaciers: Antarctica and rise by 0.5–1 meter, which would change the

rates, turning solid ice into liquid
water.
Shifting currents: Changes in
water circulation (such as a
slowing Gulf Stream) are causing
sea levels to rise unevenly in
different regions.

6. Endangered species

ENDANGERED SPECIES
Оf plants and animals are now threatened with extinction—more than at any
time in human history.
The current extinction rate is 100–1,000 times faster than the natural rate.
Changing temperatures are forcing species to migrate, but many are unable to
adapt or are losing their food sources.
Who is most at risk?
Arctic inhabitants: Polar bears and
walruses are losing sea ice they need to
hunt.
Ocean life: Coral reefs (“forests of the
ocean”) are dying due to acidification and
warming waters.
Amphibians and reptiles: Sensitive to the
slightest fluctuations in temperature and
humidity.
Pollinators: The disappearance of bees
threatens global food security

7. How can we help?

HOW CAN WE HELP?
• 1. Energy efficiency in everyday life
Replace light bulbs with LED (this reduces consumption by 80%).
Unplug appliances from the socket (standby mode also consumes energy).
Choose A+++ class household appliances.
• 2. Transport awareness
Choose a bicycle, scooter or walking for short distances.
Use public transport instead of private cars.
Consider switching to an electric car for your next purchase.
• 3. Change eating habits and consumption
Reduce meat consumption: Animal husbandry is one of the main sources of methane.
Choose local products (smaller "transport footprint").
Refuse single-use plastic (bags, coffee in your own cup).
• 4. Information and public activity
Spread knowledge about the climate among friends and family.
Support environmental petitions and local greening initiatives.
Sort your trash to reduce methane emissions in landfills.
Your contribution in 2026: Even a small action from millions of people creates a global wave of
change.
