"We can pay for it now ... or we will pay for it double in the future." The previous phrase, which is a trend official website of the United Nations, sounds the alarm, and the urgent need to act now, to reduce climate change, and to mobilize efforts towards this issue, whose danger has become evident.
The UN sustainable development plan under the slogan “Changing Our World” alerted us to this danger through SDG 13 (Climate), whose goal is to enhance resilience to climate-related hazards and natural disasters in all countries, and to enhance the ability to adapt to them.
In this context, it is necessary to be aware of raising awareness of the importance of green solutions. This concept refers to bringing about a global change in behaviors in order to raise environmental awareness in human activities. In Yemen, this matter is important because the war has contributed to the spread of dangerous behaviors that negatively affect the environment, in contrast to the decline in government control and the weakness of societal oversight and public opinion towards these dangers.
The action to adapt to climate consequences will save lives and protect livelihoods and natural ecosystems, and this includes reducing not only current but also future effects.
In Yemen, both war and climatic changes, which emerged more clearly through the high rate of rainfall and floods in many governorates, placed a great burden on many societies.
This instantaneously encouraged BCHR, without delay, to design projects aimed at strengthening the ability of vulnerable communities to face climatic hazards, in addition to establishing early warning systems for disasters that contribute to mitigating the cost of damage caused by disasters.
