8. What are you hoping to see with our climate in the next 10 years

I would like to see much more proactive action where people, States, Countries and Organizations have set their action goals and are way on their way to achieving Climate action. 
The Next decade in very crucial time for how we pick our path for Climate action. It’s not just because the impacts of rising temperatures – from server storms to surging seas – are already apparent. It’s also because limiting future damage requires bold moves to reduce carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions today.

Changing people characteristics is an extremely hard task but as we have just seen with the pandemic, people had to sift the way they do things over hundreds of years in just a few days. I believe if we all come together as one this is a very attainable achievement. We already have great climate targets such the 2015 Paris Climate accord and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. We now need people to accept the reality and severity of climate change and start changing the way we do things.
