Climate Change

The combination of record heatwaves in Europe, severe droughts in Switzerland and South Korea, and the potential collapse of the Gulf Stream highlight the immediate and severe impacts of climate change. These events, alongside the alarming rate of mercury release in Antarctica and the shrinking of the Caspian Sea, underscore the accelerating feedback loops and ecosystem collapses. The global failure to meet nature protection targets and the increasing prevalence of invasive species further compound these risks. These factors indicate a trajectory towards more frequent and severe climate-related disasters, threatening biodiversity, food security, and human health on a global scale.
