When you have a dinosaur walking into a room to have a chat with you, you sit up and listen! That바카라s the premise of the latest campaign of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), as it exhorts the world to act against climate change since it is 바카라now or never바카라.
Titled #DontChooseExtinction, UNDP released the campaign바카라s first video in which Frankie, the dinosaur, takes things into his hands at a UN meeting of dignitaries to drive home a few things about extinction. 바카라I know a thing or two about extinction,바카라 Frankie says as he takes centrestage at the meeting.
As the 26th UN climate change conference (COP26) begins at Glasgow in Scotland, UK, on October 31, the UNDP has set the tone of urgency with their latest social media outreach. At COP26, delegates from 120 countries will discuss ways to drastically cut carbon emissions and restrict global warming. Yet governments across the world are still spending $420 billion annually on major pollutants such as fossil fuels. Production and use of fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum and natural gas are the major culprits behind accelerating climate change. Man-made climate change is responsible for frequent flash floods, hurricanes, droughts and heatwaves. Besides, pollution from fossil fuels is known to kill around seven million people every year.
The UNDP is clear in its messaging: It was an asteroid that caused the extinction of dinosaurs. What is our excuse? As Frankie asks in the video, why are governments spending billions of dollars of taxpayers바카라 money on subsidising fossil fuel? Especially when that money could have been used for a better cause, such as ending poverty.
As the world builds back from the ashes of the pandemic, Frankie has a clear message: 바카라This is humanity바카라s big chance바카라 Don바카라t choose extinction. Save your species before it바카라s too late. It바카라s time for humans to stop making excuses and start making changes.바카라 Frankie ends his heartfelt speech to a standing ovation.
Greenhouse gas emissions have already increased the earth바카라s temperature by 1.1 degree Celsius since 1850. As the climate change dialogue continues to see divisions between the developed and developing nations, where countries like India have been seeking climate justice through transfer of finance and technology from the West, the question is whether there will be enough reasons for a standing ovation at the end of COP26.
