What if we could protect 30% of our planet’s lands and seas by 2030? This ambitious goal is part of the Global Biodiversity Framework, a worldwide commitment to urgent action for nature conservation. Kelly Christodoulou shares personal experiences that highlight the devastating impacts of climate change and inequality. From the Black Saturday bushfires in Australia to the intensifying typhoons in Southeast Asia, she illustrates how climate-related disasters disproportionately affect vulnerable communities. Christodoulou explains how rising carbon emissions are warming our planet, using a live demonstration with a model Earth. She emphasizes the critical role of natural solutions, particularly forests, in absorbing carbon dioxide and preserving biodiversity. And concludes by challenging the audience to consider their personal impact over the next 2000 days, urging them to take action for the sake of future generations.0:13 - Introduction 0:34 - Black Saturday Fires in Victoria state, Australia 2:14 - Cambodia Typhoon season volunteering 3:07 - The effects of climate change 4:52 - Atmospheric carbon dioxide chart 5:38 - Warming effect example 6:07 - The ways to solve the warming effect problem 6:24 - 10 key solutions needed to mitigate climate change 8:14 - Amazon fires 8:50 - UN alert: Mediterranean is the most overfished sea 9:48 - Strong evidence shows Sixth Mass Extinction of global biodiversity in progress 10:55 - Protection solutions - Hervey Bay, Australia example 12:13 - Global biodiversity framework 12:44 - 2000 days until 2030 requires actions 13:19 - 3 action tips for everyone 14:53 - Conclusion Kelly is a responsible investor and sustainability expert.
