2. Major Environmental Challenges
Global issues like climate change, deforestation, and plastic pollution threaten ecosystems
worldwide.
Increased carbon emissions and loss of biodiversity are key concerns.
3. Sustainable Energy Solutions
Transitioning to renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and hydroelectric power is critical.
Innovations in energy storage and smart grids can enhance efficiency.
4. Waste Management and Circular Economy
The linear 'take-make-dispose' model is unsustainable. A circular economy promotes recycling and
reuse.
Reducing e-waste and encouraging composting are vital steps.
5. The Role of Individuals and Governments
Individual actions, like reducing consumption and supporting green initiatives, can make a
difference.
Governments must implement policies that incentivize sustainability and penalize polluters.
