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
Conclusion
Hence, it is necessary to align with SDG 11, 12, 13 for sustainable consumption and responsible cities.
