 2021 Global Environmental News 

Recently, heatwaves and a forest fire that stroke the west side of the United States and southern Europe, and the record-breaking heavy rain in China and Germany, etc., created many damages to human lives. With abnormal climates happening globally due to climate crises, IPCC (The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) has presented a new report with the topic' climate crises. IPCC has once again emphasized that the strong reduction of greenhouse gases is the only way to suppress global warming. This year, we feel that the disasters caused by climate crises are no longer the events we see in movies, or we might experience in the distant future but are the story of our lives. It is time for the global community to take actions more actively to stop the climate crisis before it is too late.
