United Nations General Assembly in 2019 adopted September 7 as the International Day of Clean Air for Blue Skies. Recent global developments of US withdrawing from climate change global mission, geo-political war fronts and economic manipulations giving emergence to new power games are
taking our attention away from the more serious area of concern that the devastation process consequent to clean air deficit and climate change has already set in. Nature has the inevitable capacity to re-emerge in its own way and that is beyond human control. The whole biosphere is witnessing a beginning to its own end.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the world’s highest authority on climate science, in its latest report says we now know how to prevent the worst impacts of climate change; just that we need to act urgently, effectively and equitably to protect our planet. In the report, the scientists have warned the world that we have 12 years to limit the climate change catastrophe. Let us be clear about it that all these distortions have their roots in the path of economic development that human beings have adopted over the last century; life styles that have not proven to be eco-friendly due to wastage and unbalanced allocation of resources between the haves and the have-nots which has caused economic, social and environmental stress.
