The environmental issue and the condition of poverty |

Global warming, caused by the increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, has several consequences across the planet. However, its impact and intensity are different for certain social classes in our world. Scientists show that those who least affect and degrade the environment are those who suffer the most from the consequences of environmental degradation, as they do not have the financial conditions to adapt to climate change. Comparing today's world with past decades, it is clearly seen that it has advanced. However, it advanced unevenly, the benefits of economic growth were not distributed equally, resulting in richer rich and poorer poor. According to the UN, it is the rich countries that consume around 80% of the planet's resources, although only 25% of the population represents these countries. We conclude that a rational policy for environmental protection involves eradicating poverty, in the first instance.

Hello Fernanda, this is your mentor Hannah.
Sorry for the late comment.
Such sad, realistic problem around the earth, right?
I liked it that your article includes basis such a UN and scientists, but would love it if you cite the sources of figure and basis.
Thank you for your great article and please keep up with your wonderful work :)

Hello Fernanda, this is your mentor Joon.
It is a sad story to hear, and reality to face that already developed countries have already emitted their share of pollution on their past days, and restricting others from doing it. Different ideas, and conversations are being made, but one thing is sure. We are in danger of different environmental crisis. Actions should be made, and protocols should be set. However, not every one is setting it up on their own rule nor follow it strictly. It is a time to stop and ask ourselves 'are we going to be okay with this on our future?' Nothing is for sure.
Well read, and let's keep up.
Best,
Joon
