From cars to food, most elements of society rely on energy that comes from coal, oil, and natural gas. Burning fossil fuels releases harmful emissions causing our climate to change at unprecedented speed.
More severe and more frequent weather events are already happening, contributing to poverty, displacement, hunger and conflict. A rapid transition towards clean energy such as solar and wind is vital to avoid runaway climate change.
