Goal 13: Action on climate change Project 17

    • Tagebücher

In 2015 the United Nations announced a radical plan to change the world.
Global leaders drew up a list of 17 "sustainable development goals" to create a blueprint for a better future. The goals cover things like gender equality, health provision, a good education and much more. We've asked 17-year-olds from 17 different countries to tell us what they think needs to change if the world is to meet those goals by 2030.
Australia’s most intense bush fire season changed 17-year-old Ashlee’s life. She lives in a town called Mallacoota, in one of the worst-hit areas, where many people lost their homes. Images were beamed around the world of people cowering on beaches under a red sky. The bush fire season from 2019-2020 burned through 24 million hectares of land, 3,000 homes were lost. Scientists say the impacts of climate change are contributing to longer and more severe bush fire seasons, so Ashlee wants to find out how her country is being affected and what action is being taken to get global warming under control.
