Holidays
International Climate Day
On May 15, the world celebrates International Climate Day. The establishment of this unofficial ecological holiday was a response to the call of meteorologists to protect the climate as an important resource affecting the well-being of present and future generations.
Preservation of the climate is one of the global problems that face humanity today. Global warming, increased ozone in the atmospheric layer, natural disasters, changing weather conditions on the planet - all this leads to a deterioration of the Earth's climate and, as a result, has a negative impact on the food, life and property security of people, deplorable in the state of natural resources and balanced development of states.
Modern science can not answer the question of how quickly a catastrophic climate change will occur in the event of a further rise in temperature on Earth. However, according to ecologists and meteorologists, it is quite possible to delay these changes to mankind.
Among the main problems that lead to irreversible climate change on the planet is the increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. For the first time this phenomenon was discussed at the world level in 1992 - at the so-called Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. Representatives of more than 180 countries signed the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). This agreement defined the general principles of state action aimed at stabilizing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere at a level that does not threaten the Earth's climate system with a global anthropogenic impact.
At the end of 1997, at the third conference of the parties to the UNFCCC held in Kyoto (Japan), in addition to the Convention, the famous Kyoto Protocol was adopted, an international document that obliges developed countries and countries with economies in transition to reduce or stabilize greenhouse gas emissions in 2008-2012 in comparison with 1990.
Ten years later, in December 2007, another UN conference on climate change was held in Bali, Indonesia. Its participants - representatives of more than 190 states - signed an international agreement calling on world leaders to take the necessary measures so that the commercial and industrial sector could reduce the emission of carbon dioxide.
The preservation of the Earth's climate depends on every inhabitant of the planet. To make a contribution is not so difficult. For this you can, for example, use a car less often, use energy-saving lighting sources in your apartment, participate in planting trees and protect green spaces. It would seem, little things ... But these "trivia" multiplied by the population of the planet, acquire great importance.
The establishment of the International Day of Families was announced at the UN General Assembly in 1993.
