Let’s Begin…

In a blistering talk, Nobel Laureate Al Gore looks at the two main obstacles to climate solutions and gives his view of how we might actually solve the environmental crisis in time. You won't want to miss his searing indictment of fossil fuel companies for walking back their climate commitments — and his call for a global rethink of the roles of polluting industries in politics and finance.

we can't resolve it generally but we can reduce the effect of its impact both on society and the environment by using several strategies depending on the industry. in my opinion, to prevent climate challenges on P3 ( people, plants, planet ) using R3 ( reduce, recycle, reuse ) strategy is the most important mechanism for a climate solution.
