๐ The younger generation is concerned about the potential consequences of climate change and many believe they may be the last generation.
๐ Instead of viewing ourselves as the last generation, we should strive to be the first sustainable one.
๐ฑ Sustainability means meeting present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
๐ Our ancestors had a smaller environmental impact due to a smaller population, but this raises questions about sustainability.
๐ฑ We need to provide a good quality of life for everyone while achieving sustainability.
๐ The world has made impressive progress in reducing child mortality rates and extreme poverty, but there are still unacceptable conditions.
๐ฟ Our progress has come at the cost of the environment, with deforestation, reliance on fossil fuels, and unsustainable agriculture.
๐ However, the latest data suggests that we can change the course and create a more sustainable future.
๐ Global carbon emissions have reached their peak, signaling a decline in individual emissions.
๐ช Many countries have successfully increased their GDP while reducing emissions.
๐ฌ Technological advancements have played a significant role in the decline of carbon emissions.
๐ Renewable energy is replacing coal consumption around the world, leading to a decline in costs.
๐ก Solar and wind energy have become the cheapest sources of energy globally, contributing to a shift towards sustainable energy.
๐ Battery prices have significantly decreased, revolutionizing energy storage and transforming the transportation industry.
๐ณ Global deforestation rates have peaked and are now decreasing as many countries focus on reforestation efforts.
๐พ Increasing crop yields have been a motivating factor for reforestation and improved agricultural practices.
๐ Human progress in the past came at the expense of the environment.
๐ก Technology and innovation have separated food production from deforestation.
๐ฑ We need to achieve the first half of the equation by ending global poverty.
๐ Low-carbon technologies should become the default option.
๐ Sustainability is about making low-carbon technologies the default option.
๐ฑ We need to reframe sustainability as an opportunity to provide clean and affordable energy for all.
๐ดโโ๏ธ Sustainability gives us the chance to rethink our way of living, planning our cities, and using data.
๐ Our generation has the opportunity to be the first sustainable one.
๐ We need to use data to identify problems and solutions and track progress.
๐ We have the chance to build a more sustainable world, thanks to the hard work of environmental advocates, scientists, engineers, businesses, and journalists.
