Climate Change and Development
Share
Today thousands of blogs are participating in Blog Action Day to spark discussion about an issue of global importance: Climate Change.
I thought this would be a good opportunity to highlight some of the work ONE does exploring how climate change affects the world’s poorest. If you’d like to delve deeper, check out this Climate and Development issue brief that our Policy Team compiled explaining the nexus between climate change and development in clear detail.
And remember that we’re still asking the Senate to invest in helping the world’s poorest people overcome the threats posed by climate change. Please add your voice here. For more background on the Lieberman-Warner Climate Security Act, check out the Hot Topic here.

Earth is for all of us and we need each other. It’s a chain of life that can’t be broken.

In the grocery store nearby our house, they will give you an option to purchase their “save the earth” green colored cloth bag and that’s where they will place your purchased products. And then every time you buy anything from the store and you bring the “save the earth” bag with you, you get to have a discounts. This is their way of sharing their contribution to save the earth from global warming. About three weeks ago, we were hit by two very strong storms. We never had that in decades. They left our country with still so many flooded areas, a lot were homeless and lost so many loved ones. Until now, we are still sweeping the streets from mud and tons of ruined appliances drowned from the flood. The effect of those twin storm were devastating. It’s not wet season for us here, but we we were informed that we are still expecting four more storms on this last quarter of the year. And the news says its all because of global warming/climate change. Im blithely about the issue before, but when the twin storm hit us, I thought, I must do something too. To solve the global warming problem, it must be stormed at the national and international levels.But the total success is built upon the action of every individual, regardless of nationality, to conserve energy and live in a greener, cleaner community.
