For the caption, the actress wrote, “This Earth Day, let’s move beyond conversation and into action. The latest UNEP findings are a wake-up call we can’t afford to ignore: Global greenhouse gas emissions reached a record high in 2022. To stay within 1.5\u00b0C of warming, we must cut emissions by 42% by 2030. Urban areas contribute 70% of CO2, and yet, just 29% of our electricity comes from renewables. Fossil fuels still dominate our energy systems, while climate-fueled disasters rise year after year.”
\n“The path forward is clear: we need to triple renewable energy capacity by 2030. We need cleaner cities, greener choices, and policies rooted in science and compassion. Each of us can be a part of the solution. Choose sustainable practices. Support clean energy. Hold leaders accountable. Let Earth Day be your starting point-not just a reminder. Together, we can change the future,” Dia added.
\nEarth Day, observed annually on April 22, is a global event aimed at raising awareness and advocating for environmental protection. First celebrated in 1970, it marked the beginning of a worldwide commitment to safeguarding\u00a0our\u00a0planet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
