Since 2010, the earth's temperature has been rising faster than ever before in human history. Against the backdrop of current developments, Clima4Future was founded and the vision of the Co2Coin project was realized. The founders, who themselves own land and forest areas, know the threat to nature from their own experience. Climate change can no longer be denied. The records clearly show a global rise in temperature. The resulting increase in weather phenomena is also affecting more temperate climatic zones.
Increasingly frequent storms are destroying forest areas and destroying harvests - with far-reaching consequences.
Climate change is happening all over the world. Mankind is already feeling the effects of this first-hand, for example through persistent droughts, floods, severe weather disasters and melting glaciers. The international energy agencies report that energy-related carbon dioxide emissions in 2021 were higher than ever before, rising by 6%. Worldwide, 36.3 billion tons of energy-related CO2 equivalents were emitted - a historic record high. Since the 1950s, the amount of CO2 has increased fourfold on average every year.
Numerous studies carried out worldwide prove that greenhouse gases produced by humans are the cause of current climate change. The top 10 countries with a high volume of CO2 emissions are: China (27.92%), USA (14.5%), India (7.18%), Russia (4.61%), Japan (3.04%), Iran (2.14%), Germany (1.93%), Indonesia (1.69%), Korea (1.69%) and Saudi Arabia (1.6%).
The increase in CO2 emissions worldwide and the associated rise in temperature has dangerous consequences for humans, animals and nature.
There are many reasons for this increase. The main reasons are energy production, transportation, industry, agriculture and waste, despite the fact that the population has quadrupled in the last 100 years.
This is why people and environmental organizations around the world are calling for mindful action, more sustainability in production and renaturation to protect flora and fauna and the well-being of humanity. Only if industry, politics and every single person take action against climate change is there a chance of stopping and reversing the negative development. Climate change, climate protection and climate neutrality are THE key issues of the future.
