International holidays - International Climate Day

Every year on May 15th International Climate Day is celebrated. The impetus for the establishment of this environmental unofficial date was the request of workers of meteorological stations to ensure the protection of the climate as a critical resource that has a direct impact on the well-being of future and present generations. Climate protection is one of the most serious issues currently facing people. Global warming, high ozone content in the atmosphere, natural disasters, sudden changes in weather - all these factors have a negative impact on the climate, thereby negatively affecting the food, property and life security of mankind, as well as the optimal development of countries. Modern scientists do not know exactly how long it will take to expect a dramatic change in climatic conditions in the event of a subsequent increase in the temperature regime on the planet. But, according to scientists, people can delay these natural disasters. Among the key problems provoking irreversible changes on Earth are the high concentration of greenhouse gases in the air. This phenomenon was first mentioned in 1992 at a conference held in Rio de Janeiro. Representatives of over 180 states (in particular the Russian Federation and the countries of the former Soviet Union) signed an international agreement, the so-called framework Convention on Climate Change. The agreement defined the basic rules for countries to act to stabilize greenhouse gases in the atmosphere at an optimal level. 5 years later, at the next conference held in the Japanese city of Kyoto, in addition to the agreement, the now popular Kyoto Protocol was developed - an international document forcing developed countries to reduce or optimize greenhouse gas problems. Another 10 years later, in the winter of 2007, another UN congress took place in Bali, dedicated to the problems of climate change. Conference members - representatives of over 190 countries - signed an international agreement obliging world leaders to take the necessary measures to ensure that the trade and manufacturing sector reduces the emission of carbon dioxide. The state of the planet's climate is directly dependent on all inhabitants of the Earth. It is not at all difficult to contribute to its defense. To do this, it is enough to use vehicles as little as possible, install energy-saving light sources in houses, and take part in landscaping areas.
