The Global Climate Crisis is a defining moment and its effects are already with us. Today, the Race towards Net Zero is more strategic and important than it ever was. The United Nations Secretary General has warned that “we are in a life-or-death struggle for our own safety today and our survival tomorrow.” And to the Director General of the International Renewable Energy Agency, “We are staring into a terrifying abyss of irreversible climate consequences, if we fail to act.” Global Green politics is entering a new era; one that requires those who believe in the founding principles of Sustainable Development to stand up and be counted – The Time is Now.
