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. Korea Green Foundation (KGF) greenfund@greenfund.org 7F, Baeknam Bldg., 16 Eulji-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul, 04533, Korea +82-2-2011-4300 수신거부 Unsubscribe |
