SDG13 Action Project : IGEN MINUSCO2 BATTLE : Under #igenSDGprojects
Climate change is directly contributing to humanitarian emergencies from heatwaves, wildfires, floods, tropical storms and hurricanes and they are increasing in scale, frequency and intensity. Research shows that 3.6 billion people already live in areas highly susceptible to climate change. Between 2030 and 2050, climate change is expected to cause approximately 250 000 additional deaths per year, from undernutrition, malaria, diarrhoea and heat stress alone.
Reducing emissions of greenhouse gases through better transport, food , energy use choices can result in very large gains for health, particularly through reduced air pollution.
To support the achievement of SDG goals and the objectives of the COP Climate Change Conference, The Institution of Engineers has launched a new initiative—IGEN MINUSCO2 BATTLE. This project aims to empower 10 billion people to take action in reducing CO₂ emissions by implementing #theigen Conservation Mantras for a cleaner environment, with a target to achieve significant impact by 2030.
#igenMinusCO2 consists of three stages: Light, Medium, and Strong Action, leading to achieve “IGEN SDG13 Change Maker Fellow”.
