Should the international community do more to tackle the threat of global warming?
Good afternoon everyone. Thanks in advance for your help!

According to many observers, current governments of all countries in the world are not doing enough to combat the emerging menace of global warming. I completely agree with this point of view and I believe that it is time to take this problem seriously.
Global warming, which is the progressive rising of the temperature of the planet, is already showing some of its potential consequences. This phenomenon is caused principally from greenhouses gases (carbon dioxide in particular) and deforestation, but there are some other reasons as well. All of these are contributing to a increasing loss of biodiversity and quality of life in some places of the globe. The effects are clear-cut, therefore it is not possible to avoid recognising how critical the situation is.
The International community, in this sense, is charged with a crucial duty that is intervening in order to control this process before it becomes too late. It is necessary to reinforce current pacts among countries and to reach a new and effective agreement which can really oblige every state to limit emissions. Moreover, it would be useful to think about concrete changes for supporting a sustainable transformation of cities like favouring eco-friendly behaviour through electric vehicles and the use of renewable energies instead of those based on fossil fuel. If this does not happen rapidly, it is probable that ecosystems would die out and with them, human life.
In conclusion, the role of supranational institutions will certainly be decisive in the near future to save our planet from global warming. That has been done so far but it has not been enough and time on Earth is running out.
