Climate change and poverty

It is a false dilemma to say that we either fight poverty or save our planet. We definitely need to focus our efforts on sustainable development which will not just help fight poverty but also climate change in the long-term. Much has been said and it’s time for some action now. If we don’t do something about this today, we may not be able to ‘afford’ our future anymore.

Thanks for the blog entry!
