United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has declared that the destruction of nature poses an 'existential crisis' for humanity. This statement highlights the urgent need to address climate change, which has been exacerbated by decades of fossil fuel consumption. Recent data indicates that pollution levels are now 51% higher than before the Industrial Revolution.
