Woman and child walk through the flood waters in east Jakarta, Indonesia. Floods that had receded on Sunday night but rose again on Monday morning. The flooding was caused by the overflow of Sunter River. . 📸 Photo Credit: Kompas/Hendra A Setyawan . . . . . . . . . . #climatechange #globalwarming #climatechangeisreal #changeclimatechange #environment #climateaction #climatecrisis #savetheplanet #noplanetb #environmentalist #savetheearth #climatestrike #climate #sustainability #climaterealityproject #indonesia #photooftheday #climateaction #environment #ipcc #cop26 #fridaysforfuture

Some perspective for people not from Australia. More Aussie land is currently burning than exists in the entire country of Belgium. The smoke is causing breathing problems in New Zealand, 2,000km away. 200 homes have been destroyed. Half a billion animals have been killed. Eight people are dead. 🔥🔥 🇦🇺 #climatechange #climatecrisis #

Streets in the district of Satkhira, in southern Bangladesh, are flooded after months of heavy rain – people travel by boat to reach the local shop. 🇧🇩 . Some 60% of Bangladesh is at risk of rising sea levels since two-thirds of Bangladesh is less than five metres above sea level. By 2050, with a projected 50 cm rise in sea level, Bangladesh may lose approximately 11% of its land, affecting an estimated 15 million people living in its low-lying coastal region. . 📸 Photo Credit: DFID / Rafiqur Rahman Raqu . . . . . . #bangladesh #climatechange #globalwarming #climatechangeisreal #changeclimatechange #environment #climateaction #climatecrisis #savetheplanet #noplanetb #environmentalist #savetheearth #climatestrike #climate #sustainability #climaterealityproject #photooftheday #climateaction #environment #ipcc #cop26 #fridaysforfuture

Refugees carry wood back to their shelters in Kutupalong megacamp, to use as cooking fuel. With the high level of deforestation which has taken place after the massive refugee influx last year, people now need to walk several hours to find firewood. .

Noor Complex Solar Power Plant in Morocco is located in the Sahara Desert and it is the world’s largest concentrated solar power plant. The Solar Plant capacity is of 580 megawatts, and by 2020, it is expected to provide electricity for over 1 million people, once completed. ☀️ 🇲🇦 . . . . . . . . #climatechange #globalwarming #climatechangeisreal #changeclimatechange #environment #climateaction #climatecrisis #savetheplanet #noplanetb #environmentalist #savetheearth #climatestrike #climate #sustainability #climaterealityproject #greenenergy #renewableenergy #energy #cleanenergy #solar #bloombergenergy #solarpower #solarenergy #noorsolar #morocco

It doesn’t matter where you live, parents want their children to learn and have access to the world’s information. I love this image of children working on solar-powered laptops, Sahn Malen Town, Sierra Leone. When a picture speaks 1000 words! Traditional energy grids are being disrupted and are not needed anymore. 💻 . The cost of solar has dropped 99% in the last four decades globally (falling by more than 70 percent in the last decade alone) and hit a record low in the first quarter of 2019. ☀️ . Solar is the most exciting technology that we have. It is not a silver bullet because success in solving the climate crisis requires many solutions to be working together, but it’s easy to get excited about solar when enough energy from the sun reaches Earth every hour to fill all the world’s energy needs for a full year! ⚡️ . 📸 Photo Source: One Laptop Per Child . . . . . . . . . . . #climatechange #globalwarming #climatechangeisreal #changeclimatechange #environment #climateaction #climatecrisis #savetheplanet #noplanetb #environmentalist #savetheearth #climatestrike #climate #sustainability #climaterealityproject #greenenergy #renewableenergy #energy #cleanenergy #solar #solarpower #solarenergy #sierraleone #education #onelaptopperchild

This image is of a solar panel provided by Azuri Technologies on a rural roof in Nimule, South Sudan 🇸🇩 . Solar technology has been around since the 1970s but its capacity has grown significantly in recent years, with more solar installation in 2017 than coal, gas, and nuclear combined. Low initial costs make small solar systems affordable in developing countries. ☀️ . So now instead of needing complex grid systems and dirty fossil fuels being burnt, we’re getting this instead: solar panels on grass huts. And we’re getting new business models, like pay-as-you-go solar from companies such as Azuri & BBOXX. ⚡️ .

This image of a crowded street in Calcutta, India, reflects the looming threat of overpopulation, which will further strain resources already in limited supply. 🇮🇳 . History tells us that it took the earth about 10,000 generations to reach a population of 2 billion people. So when you consider that the World Health Organisation is estimating that earth’s population will have risen from 2 billion people to over 10 billion, during the course of just 2 generations, it’s pretty clear to see that something profound is happening. . And we need to do something about it. Because as things stand - the earth’s biosphere and the [food/political/energy] systems that we have put in place, are no longer able to cope and very close to reaching an irreversible tipping point. . 📸 Photo Credit: Randy Olsen (National Geographic Creative) . . . . . . . . . . . #climatechange #globalwarming #climatechangeisreal #changeclimatechange #environment #climateaction #climatecrisis #savetheplanet #noplanetb #environmentalist #savetheearth #climatestrike #climate #sustainability #climaterealityproject #india #calcutta #overpopulation #worldhealthorganisation #unitednations #sustainabledevelopmentgoals

The story about wind power is really positive. Despite what some world leaders say, they don’t kills loads of bird and give you cancer. What they do, is provide one of the cheapest forms of clean energy. 💨 . 5 years ago wind power was only cheaper than new coal and gas in 1% of the world. . Today it is the cheapest form of new energy in over 65% of the world (mostly developing countries). . In 5 years time it will be the cheapest form of new electricity anywhere in the world and by 2029, along with solar power, it will be the cheapest form of electricity anywhere in the world. 🌬 . 📸 Photo Credit: Mike Harrington (Sheringham Shoal Offshore Wind Farm, UK - 88 Siemens 3.6-megawatt turbines 11 miles from shire covering 14 sq. miles) ⚡️ Source: Bloomberg Energy Finance (2019). . . . . . . . . . . . #climatechange #globalwarming #climatechangeisreal #changeclimatechange #environment #climateaction #climatecrisis #savetheplanet #noplanetb #environmentalist #savetheearth #climatestrike #climate #sustainability #climaterealityproject #greenenergy #renewableenergy #energy #cleanenergy #windpower #wind #offshore #mikeharrington #bloombergenergy #projectdrawdown
