Your Future, Your Power: Act on Climate Change
You've learned the facts. You feel the urgency. Now, it's time to turn that knowledge into action and shape the world you want to live in. The future isn't just coming; it's being built by you, right now.
Find Your Way to Act
Why NOW? The Urgency in Your Lifetime.
This isn't just about distant statistics. These are realities that will shape your world, your life, and the generations to come. But they're also why your action now matters more than ever.
Heatwaves: Your Summer Just Got Hotter.
If global temperatures hit 3.5°C by 2100 (which is a real risk without action), over 90% of those born in 2020 will face unprecedented heatwaves in their lifetime. Even at 1.5°C, half your generation will feel the burn. Think about Accra's heat – now imagine it more extreme, more often.
90%+ of your generation could face unprecedented heatwaves by 2100 without strong climate action.
The Ocean's Future: More Plastic Than Fish?
By 2050, it's projected that our oceans could hold more plastic than fish by weight. This impacts marine life along Ghana's coasts and beyond, and directly affects the health of our planet.
By 2050, oceans could have more plastic than fish.
Breathe Easy: Cleaner Air is Climate Action.
Globally, over 90% of people breathe unhealthy air, mainly due to fossil fuels. Tackling climate change could save millions of lives by 2050 just by cleaning up our air. Imagine how much better Accra's air could be!
90%+ of the world breathes unhealthy air. Climate action = cleaner air.
The Ripple Effect: Every Action Counts.
Just a 0.1°C increase in global warming intensifies extreme weather, affecting everything from rainfall in Accra to farming across Ghana. Your small actions create big ripples, shaping our future.
Even 0.1°C warming means more intense extreme weather.
