10 words

Main Body

IPCC reports have cited that we are going to breach the 1.5°C limit, hence temperature rise is expected in this decade.

Alteration: contributor of environmental crisis

i) Modern lifestyle - separated from the natural systems of sustainability

ii) Apathy towards climate crisis - exemplified by withdrawal from climate conventions (Trump example)

iii) Displaced tribals - not part of urban consciousness; displacement for resource extraction and development

iv) Rising consumerism - alienates people from production process, evidenced by preferences for premium goods like iPhones and supercars instead of basic necessities

v) Distributed supply chain + Globalization - creates 'Out of sight' = 'Out of mind' mentality; consumers not concerned with climate crisis affecting China and Africa

vi) Cultural erosion - loss of nature-connected practices that were practiced by Hindus, Jews, and Koranic traditions

Solutions:

i) Public awareness - NGOs should conduct seminars to educate masses

ii) Policy change - require environmental impact disclosure on product packaging

iii) Corporate social responsibility - shift towards people-centric production models

iv) Personal change - emphasis on Human life values
