Developing countries, responsible for just 10% of global emissions, endure 80% of climate impacts, including extreme weather and rising seas. Meanwhile, the wealthiest 10% contribute over 50% of emissions, highlighting the inequality in climate change burdens globally.

Human activities, including 73% of emissions from energy and industry and 10% from deforestation, endanger Earth. Pause, "act wisely, and protect the planet", as its health sustains life for future generations.

Through our actions, we are destroying the planet—like cutting the tree we sit on. Remember, deforestation causes 15% of global emissions, while human activities account for over 75% of environmental damage. ACT NOW

Earth is our only home, with finite resources and unique ecosystems. To sustain it, we must cut emissions, protect biodiversity, adopt renewable energy, promote sustainability, and advocate for climate action globally.

Deforestation increases carbon emissions, disrupts rainfall patterns, accelerates global warming, and causes biodiversity loss. It leads to desertification, extreme weather, and ecosystem imbalances, worsening climate change and threatening environmental and human sustainability.

XR Rubavu worked with the community of Rubavu to fight soil erosion by planting trees that protect our land. We also gave fruit trees to promote healthy eating and fight malnutrition. Each tree is a symbol of resilience and hope. Together, we are building a greener future.

Decarbonization in Action! XR Rubavu empowered families to switch to improved charcoal stoves and where possible, gas or electric cooking. Cleaner air, less deforestation, and lower COâ‚‚ emissions. Thank you to all who made this possible. Rubavu is going green!

If tons of trees are cut every day, it increases carbon dioxide in the air, causing global warming and climate change, which harms both nature and human life. To protect our planet, we should stop cutting trees unnecessarily and plant more trees to restore the environment.
