 Climate action, effect of climate change in Mumbai city I am Earth and I am unique in the cosmos because my surface temperature is 15 degrees centigrade This enables human life and a thriving biodiversity on my planet unlike other planets like Mercury or Venus However, the increase in greenhouse gases called GHGs like carbon dioxide, water vapor and methane and fewer other gases due to man-made pollution has made me imbalanced and I experience increasing global warming Due to increase in greenhouse gases on my surface, heat is trapped and ocean waters become warm United Nations adopted 17 sustainable development goals SDGs in 2015 which almost all the member countries adopted including India, SDG 13 is climate action Carbon dioxide levels have crossed 400 parts per million whereas world scientists say it should not cross 350 parts per million This has led to heavy rains, droughts and glacier melting My city of Mumbai the most vibrant and multicultural city of India used to experience very pleasant spring season in March and April but now it is only hot and humid The monsoon rains used to come on the 10th of June every year and last for 4 months It is now a bit erratic with very heavy rains and long dry springs Mumbai will experience sea level rise due to ocean warming and land glacier melting Coastlands can be inundated by every 1 meter about 3 feet of sea level rise as seen in the maps I am very optimistic that action and solution by children and adults will be taken To begin with protect the natural forests of Mumbai city unique by itself Plant more trees, save the mangroves, adopt solar wind and other renewable energy Reduce, reuse and recycle Bring nature into the lives of people in education and their daily lives and stop governments from any further destruction of nature Ban on plastics and microplastics threatening Mumbai's marine life and human food chain will bring the balance back Quite a plankton which provides a major part of oxygen to us needs to be saved There are many active people in Mumbai who have cleaned up the beaches and oceans The worst of our beach cleanup is a case in point where even the olive early turtles have come and hatched recently How wonderful It is very important to elect government representatives who will protect forests and natural wealth of the city of Mumbai Bringing more nature into the lives of people is essential to appreciate my unique earth's atmosphere and to restore my natural planet's resistance for climate action
