Everyone around the world is affected by Climate change, no one can escape the heartbreaking damage it has and will cause unless governments take action and create real change now, not later. In the UK we are experiencing drought, floods, storms, heatwaves, changes to nature and our ecosystems to name a few. This is without the mental toll the current climate has on you as an individual, fear for the future, what that will look like for my child and the rest of the world. I am aware that other countries have experienced even more devastating effects as a result of the climate crisis. Governments need be held to account for their decisions and actions as these affect millions of people and the entire future of the planet.
