Written by NESCAN Hub | Mar 6, 2024 11:27:07 AM

The impact of climate change poses a significant threat to both human well-being and the health of our planet. There is a rapidly closing window of opportunity to secure a liveable and sustainable future for all. Far-reaching transitions across all sectors and systems are necessary to achieve deep and sustained emissions reductions.1 

Climate Literacy is understanding and making informed decisions about causes and impacts of climate change. This enables you to choose the most effective solutions, live sustainably, play a part to help limit global warming and reduce the adverse effects of climate change. Becoming climate literate helps us learn how our world is affected by climate change now and in the future and how adapting and becoming resilient help reduce inequalities.
