Climate change is affecting the world

Politics try to counteract

USA back in Paris climate agreement



US President Joe Biden has called climate change "the number one problem facing humanity" and announced that he will initiate a national transformation from fossil fuels to renewable energies. A 2-trillion-dollar plan is to achieve CO2 neutrality in the power sector by 2035 and greenhouse gas neutrality by 2050.

China is the country with the highest CO2 emissions in the world. At the end of 2020, China announced its intention to achieve climate neutrality before 2060, and emissions of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide are to peak before 2030.

Russia confronts thawing permafrost



Russia's President Vladimir Putin has decreed that his country should reduce greenhouse gas emissions to up to 70 percent of 1990 levels by 2030 in order to slow climate change. The largest country in the world is perceiving the effects of climate change not only through the thawing of permafrost.
