World Earth Day 2023: Earth Day is an annual global event held on April 22nd. It honors Earth’s environmental diversity and emphasizes methods to protect our planet.
It might be difficult to focus on the little activities that individuals and communities can do to address the climate catastrophe when we hear terminology like “code red for humanity” and “climate change.” However, Earth Day aims to highlight how everyone can contribute to the change.

According to the official Earth Day website EARTHDAY.ORG(opens in new tab), Earth Day began in 1970 when 20 million Americans — 10% of the US population at the time — came together to show the importance of increasing protection for our planet.
According to the official Earth Day website(opens in new tab), it now works with more than 150,000 partners in over 192 countries, with 1 billion people involved. Earth Day celebrates our world while also emphasizing the importance of holding sectors accountable for their roles in environmental disaster.
Let’s all become aware and take climate corrective action.

Earth Day 2023 – 5 climate solutions we need for a better future
Understanding of the activities that households can adopt to lower their carbon footprint has improved since last year. The favorable impact of switching to renewable energy has increased by eight percentage points in particular.
A significant reduction in the usage of fossil fuels will be required to reduce CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions. The IPCC emphasizes the importance of diversifying energy systems and increasing the use of renewable energy technology. It identifies wind and solar energy as the most cost-effective and impactful climate change options. In addition, carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology will be required to limit CO2 emissions from any remaining fossil fuel usage.
Nature supplies some of the most effective carbon sinks. As a result, preserving forests and other natural ecosystems will be important in mitigating global warming. This begins with the conservation of existing forests through sustainable forest management. However, it also includes methods like reforestation (planting new trees in a forest where the number of trees has decreased) and afforestation (forming new forests).
