What is climate change?
Climate change and nature loss are the greatest threats facing the world’s population. Climate change isn’t a distant, far away problem: it’s here and we’re seeing the impact already, through extreme weather events such as heatwaves, flooding and high temperatures during winter.
This may seem daunting, and you’re probably wondering how your family can possibly help tackle something so big and global.
