Global Movement Helping Activism

     According to a study done, there are two factors that are most closely linked to the formation of at least one counter climate change organization are the strength of a country's commitment to protecting the natural environment and the level of formal organization in its social. In this study they identified 164 countries that have climate laws and backing. As well stated that 60% of the 548 organizations identified in the study are based in the United States. The biggest contributors are from economic interests of energy and agriculture which account for more than half of the global greenhouse gas emissions. Also according to the study, countries with oil venues as a higher percentage of GDP are less likely to have a counter climate change organization. A lot of people believe as political climate becomes more divded, climate movements seem to find fertile ground. 

    Currently more than 170 countries have national policies and laws on climate change adaptation to address impacts including the rising risks of extreme events such as flood, and droughts. Which 91 countries have at least one law that address climate change adaptation, which means adaptation is now addressed in the executive policies of at least 170 countries which means about 87% of the world have decided to take executive and governmental resources to help combat climate change. The biggest laws or policies that were adopted by a majority of these countries was legislative action on greenhouse gas emissions. 

    Currently the biggest contributor to carbon emissions is China, there are legally-binding country targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are formally called nationally determined contributions (NDCs) and are recorded on the UN global registry. China aim to achieve carbon neutrality before 2060, and to track and detect leaks in methane. While the United States is the second biggest emitter in the world and has failed for multiple years trying to lower their carbon emissions, but they are trying to cut it by 50% by 2030, but currently doesn't look like it's on the best track. The the third biggest annual emitter is India, which are struggling to make any headway and is willing to-reduce its emissions by 45% by 2030. 

    Activism in the world used to be a dream but over the last couple of years people have finally woken up and realized that this isn't a hoax and there is real damage being done if people in government don't end up doing anything about it. Unfortunately, promises and wishes don't solve all of our environmental issues and reduce our carbon emissions, overall it will take real accountability to beat this thing, but I think we are headed in the right direction.
