[Free Report] \| March \| How would addressing inequality help to combat the climate crisis?
by Risav Ganguly \| 08-03-2022 16:07 0
If you look out of your balcony, amidst the smog, you’ll see people who get out of cars and also people who weren’t privileged enough to receive an education, sleeping in rags. Seeing all of that, you do know now where we lack, why we are so slow in combating climate change and what the essence of that huge barrier is. It’s Inequality. Now we know the root cause, but how do we identify and address inequality. There are a few questions that struck my mind. The questions are: Will reducing the gap between rich and poor countries help to counter the climate crisis? The main thing that will actually want to bring this huge change is the expansion in how much cash given by the rich nations to assist the unfortunate nations with fighting environmental change, as the poor countries have to meet out-of-pocket expenses for health emergencies. This will not only encourage less fortunate countries to invest more in healthcare but will also better equip them to combat climate change. Will bridging the gap between students and secondary education help bring a significant change? This was the second question that came to my mind. Education does not only help people become aware, but it also helps them improve their decision-making skills. Young people can be taught ways to adapt to climate change. Education will motivate people to take the correct actions to carry out their projects on climate change. What if people don’t trust projects and policies initiated by the youth or the government?The level of trust is significantly higher in developed countries. Building trust amongst people is very important because change takes time, but it also takes people. How will public trust be generated? The answer lies in just five words: good education and good governance. They are directly related to each other. Once these two criteria are fulfilled, policies related to climate change and treaties signed by many countries will happen at a much faster pace with the support of a large number of people. These are some ways to address inequality as it is somehow interconnected to climate change.

Hey Risav, I totally agree with the point of good governance. Poor governance practices like corruption make people distrust the government and raises hopelessness in the generations when it comes to positive and sustainable actions like climate action.

Hello Risav, this is your mentor Joon.

I totally agree that reducing inequality could be a key to solve different problems. Education, especially, is a real deal as there are people whom want to act for environment, but cannot as they do not know how to do so. Also, by providing the chance to receive proper education, one could change their habit so that it could fit and meet social requirements. Try answering this question: how can the society reduce inequality by providing the chance of education, narrate the specific procedure.
Hope this question enhance your understanding.

Well read your article, and let's keep up!

Best,

Joon

Hello Risav, this is your new mentor Chelwoon.

Well written article showing your understanding of the relation between climate change and inequality. I totally agree with your article. From a long-term point of view, solving inequality is very important in terms of making our planet better. Your article will inspire many ambassadors.
When we address an environmental issue, we have to not only analyze it well, but we should also consider the issues related to community that comes with the environmental issue.
I would like to recommend you to think about the way we can encourage the rich countries to bridge the gap and share your own solutions to ambassadors.

Thank you for the article!

Regards,
Chelwoon
