10 Leaders Fight Against Climate Changes

Rapid climatic changes are major threats we are facing nowadays. Many researchers and environmentalists are expressing deep concerns about changes in the overall climate of the planet, and truly it became a global concern. Our earth has experienced the largest increase in surface temperature over the last 100 years.

1. Narendra Modi From India

India is the key player and an important contributor to international efforts on climate actions. The PM of India Narendra Modi’s leading efforts against climatic changes appreciated globally. He took many steps to reduce the agents that in turn harm the environment. It includes his leading efforts to scrap usage of plastic in India by making people aware of the dangerous consequences of plastic and encourage the use of biodegradable products for daily usage, followed by Swachh Bharat Abhiyan to clean India and improve the living conditions of rural inhabitants. Besides this India has been investing huge capital in solar power projects like the international solar alliance to grow Renewable energy sources that in turn eliminates the harmful pollutants in the environment. Globally there is a strong impact of India’s progressive development towards climate action. (Indiatoday, n.d.)

2. Imran Khan From Pakistan

The 7th most vulnerable country affected by the hazards of climatic changes has been doing concerted effort by the government and civil society at all levels to mitigate or overcome the challenges. To improve the climate, various projects have been introduced by the PM of Pakistan. Projects include, “Clean and Green Pakistan” to make a healthy atmosphere, Billion tree tsunami project for afforestation, Say no to plastic to mitigate plastic pollutions, and introduction of Renewable power plants. All the projects aimed to win the fight against the gravest challenges of climate change. (The news.com, n.d.)

3. Donald Tusk From Europe

The world’s biggest climate finance donor, the European Council is resolved to lead the battle against the present atmosphere risk. The EU has just surpassed its greenhouse gas discharge decrease target for 2020 and will outperform its objective for 2030. Rather than this, the EU reduced its greenhouse gas emitting substances by incorporating carbon capture and storage technology, of around 45%, as compared to 1990 levels. They are contributing immense investment of about €180 billion to make climate neutral. They have already made policies to combat climatic issues in the future and aimed to make a healthy environment. (carbon brief, n.d.)

4. Greta Thunberg From Switzerland

Swedish teenage environmental activist Greta Thunberg who is famous for her speaking manner started strike to draw global attention over the catastrophic climatic effects world is facing nowadays. Her major stress is over the reduction of greenhouse gas emission particularly CO2 emission, as the largest contributor to co2 emission is human activities. To reduce that emission, Greta Thunberg encourage the use of cleaner fuel sources, and reveals opportunities for reducing carbon emission from driving, flying, and home energy use.

5. Mette Frederiksen From Denmark

With regards to securing the planet from adverse climatic effects, Denmark performs very well.  Danish PM Mette Frederiksen has been working to reduce the emission of pollutants and she has succeeded in her mission. As according to the previous report, 78.8% of the population was presented to hazardous degrees of fine molecule air contamination; but now the nation successfully dropped the figure to 56.9%. More than 60% area of Denmark cultivates Barley and used fertilizers which affects soil, water and air. To overcome this problem, Denmark adopted various agreements Aquatic Action Plans, Green Growth Agreement and the Nitrate National Programs and doing the most to defend the climate, and keeps on defining determined goals and objectives, among them having, in any event, a large portion of its energy utilization originate from renewables by 2030 and to be autonomous of petroleum derivatives by 2050. The nation has kept on taking steps forward and aims to recycle 70% of all waste by the year 2024.

6. Xi Jinping From China

Xi Jinping play an enormous role in tackling global climate change.  The Chinese government initiated a massive national action plan halting the growth of coal consumption, improving air quality and helping the country limit emissions overall. The world’s renewable energy manufacturing hub, China has committed to increasing the share of non-fossil fuels used in its primary energy consumption to about 20 percent by 2030. China has set targets to reduce its carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per unit of GDP by 40–45% from 2005 levels by 2020 and 60–65% by 2030. China committed that its CO2 emissions will peak around 2030 and that it will increase its forest stock volume by 4.5 billion cubic meters.

7. Martín Vizcarra From Peru

Martin Vizcarra develop strategies to reduce harmful effects of climate change on the Peruvian landscape.  The nation established its first specialized environmental court, aiming to add some muscle to its environmental laws as the country deals with illegal mining, deforestation, environmental degradation, and illicit trade in wildlife, mining equipment, and hazardous waste.

8. Antti Rinne

Antti Rinne made ambitious goals to make their environment super healthy to live and then worked for it. Continuous natural objectives incorporate lessening per capita greenhouse discharges, essentially expanding the utilization of sustainable power source, and ensuring woodland and farmland environments. One of the world’s wealthiest industrialized nations, Finland undoubtedly has the fortitude to help overwhelming green approaches, intending to envision dangers and avoid harm before any damage is finished.

9. Jacinda ardern

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has called climate change” my generation’s nuclear-free moment“. Jacinda ardern campaigned on making climate change and her attempt to tackle methane emissions through legislation appreciated globally. The government passed Zero Carbon Bill includes a split target requiring biogenic emissions to drop between 24 to 47 percent below 2017 levels by the end of 2050, and all other greenhouse gases to reach net zero in the same timeframe.

10. Hilda Heine

The president of Marshall Island over the past years, put in place adaptive measures like building coast–protection systems, reduction of greenhouse gases and committed to make her island carbon neutral by 2050. (times, n.d.) .

Conclusion

Governments, organizations, and utilities are advancing towards cleaner energy to curb climate change.  But, the push to trim carbon outflows begins with changing our modes of living. Even the most stringent mitigation efforts by our leaders can’t maintain a strategic distance from certain effects of environmental change throughout the following couple of decades. It is necessary, then, to build a blend of strategies that includes mitigation, adaptation, technological development and most importantly awareness of common masses to fight this battle for better future.
