Our environment

Our environment is facing numerous challenges that threaten its stability and the well-being of all that inhabit it. Some of the most pressing environmental issues are:

Climate Change: The increasing levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are causing the planet to warm up, leading to extreme weather conditions, rising sea levels, and loss of habitats for many species.

Deforestation: Forests are being destroyed at an alarming rate due to human activities such as logging, agriculture, and urbanization. This leads to the loss of biodiversity, increased carbon dioxide levels, and decreased ability of the planet to absorb excess carbon dioxide.

Ocean Pollution: The world’s oceans are facing multiple environmental threats, including plastic pollution, oil spills, and acidification. These problems are not only causing harm to marine life, but also affecting the health of the people who depend on seafood for their livelihoods.

Biodiversity Loss: The loss of biodiversity is one of the biggest environmental challenges facing our planet. This is due to the destruction of habitats, introduction of non-native species, and overexploitation of resources. The loss of biodiversity can have serious implications for the health of ecosystems and the survival of many species.

Soil Degradation: Soil degradation is a major environmental challenge that is caused by factors such as overgrazing, deforestation, and urbanization. It leads to a decline in soil fertility and reduced agricultural productivity, which can have serious consequences for food security

Water Scarcity: The increasing demand for fresh water is putting a strain on the planet’s water resources, leading to water scarcity in many regions. This is especially problematic in arid and semi-arid regions where water is a scarce resource.

Air Pollution: Air pollution is a major environmental challenge that affects the health of people and ecosystems. It is caused by a variety of sources, including industrial emissions, transportation, and energy production.

Addressing these environmental requires a multi-faceted approach that involves changes in policies, technology, and individual behavior. Governments, businesses, and individuals must work together to reduce their environmental impact and ensure the long-term health of our planet.

The environmental challenges facing our planet are numerous and complex, but it is not too late. By working together, we can create a more sustainable future for ourselves and future generations.

At i=Change, we’re committed to addressing the great challenges of our times, which of course includes the environmental crisis. We do this by supporting NGOs with deep expertise in nature-based solutions to mitigate the impacts of climate change. 

You can be the change, when you shop for change.
