'We must vote for politicians that support climate change advocacy and enforce policies that will hold polluters accountable and sustainable development achievable.' Opinion

As we near the end of 2020, we have experienced how climate change is like: more intense and frequent typhoons, floods, wildfires, droughts, heatwaves, and diseases that have impacted the oceans, animals, and people.

Therefore, it is understandable that we may feel confused, and perhaps even despair, about the situation we are in. At times, it is difficult to know where to start as we face multiple crises at once. It also seems like time is not on our side. As 20-somethings, we may feel like all is lost. But humanity has a record of resiliency. It is evident in how Cape Town, South Africa avoided their water crisis, how nations worked together in healing the ozone layer, and how the oil industry is starting to decline. These events have a few things in common: people changing their habits, listening to science, and cooperating towards a common solution.
