Global Green House is an organization that was setup to respond to the climate challenges of today’s world and to help national governments regulate carbon emissions.
Global climate change has become one of the most pressing environmental issues that the world is focused on addressing. Its consequences are dangerous weather disasters, sudden weather changes, floods, floods, strong winds, heavy rains, hail, droughts, which lead to significant environmental and economic damage around the world. According to the World Meteorological Organisation, the last three years have been the three warmest years on record. Increased unpredictability of weather conditions threatens food production, while rising sea levels increase the risk of natural disasters.
According to the report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, scientific studies show that climate change as a result of anthropogenic impact since the late nineteenth century is only about one-third related to natural changes, and two-thirds is caused by human activity, in particular, an increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Adaptation to global climate change is the process of adjusting natural or human systems in response to actual or expected climate impacts to reduce their negative effects and take advantage of favorable opportunities. In 2015, in Paris, world leaders agreed to limit the global temperature rise to well below 2°C by the end of the century and to take action to limit the temperature rise to 1.5°C.
2019 was a year of advocacy for global climate change prevention, with millions of students around the world participating in Fridays for the Future protests calling for decisive action to respond to climate change.
However, efforts to curb global warming are not yielding the desired results. Thus, according to the United Nations, instead of limiting global warming to 1.5°C under the 2015 Paris Agreement, the world is now on track to warm up to 3.2°C by 2100. At the same time, greenhouse gas emissions are growing, as the world’s twenty largest countries, which account for about 78% of global greenhouse gas emissions, have largely failed to make the necessary transformational changes.
To date, only 121 countries have committed to being carbon neutral by 2050, accounting for less than 25% of total emissions. None of these countries are among the top five polluters, and few, despite their commitments, have adopted policies that are robust enough to achieve the desired effects. On the business side, only a small number of companies fully disclose their emissions, and even fewer have emissions targets or are in the process of reducing them in line with the Paris Agreement. And while investors have begun to recognise the importance of assessing climate-related risks, much of their decision-making continues to focus on short-term efficiency. At the same time, the intensification of climate change due to the lack of decisive action will require much greater efforts and costs for further adaptation over time.
Global Green House’s works to safeguard both human well-being and our environment.
In its endeavors, Global Green House ensures that:
- Everyone benefits from pristine air, soil, and water.
- National strategies for minimizing environmental threats are rooted in cutting-edge scientific data.
- Regulations aimed at preserving human health and the environment are applied and upheld consistently and efficiently.
- The ethos of environmental care is embedded within strategies related to natural resources, public health, economic development, energy, transport, agriculture, industry, and global commerce, and these elements reciprocally influence the formation of environmental protocols.
- Every segment of society – from local communities and individuals to businesses and governmental entities at all levels – is equipped with precise data, empowering them to actively engage in addressing health and environmental challenges.
- Lands tainted by pollutants and hazardous sites are rejuvenated by accountable entities.
- Marketed chemicals undergo thorough safety evaluations.
