Humanity is waging a suicidal war against our planet.

- UN Secretary General.

We presently have a global climate crisis at a possible tipping point - a point of no return with temperatures soaring inexorably. To get on track to 2°C rise, a 30% reduction in greenhouse gases is needed, whereas a 55% reduction is needed to achieve 1.5°C - our acceptable aim suggested by the Paris Agreement in 2015 signed by 196 nations at COP 21. But the world continues to remain blindfolded.
