Abstract

Global warming is real, and its effects are more severe than ever in the 21st century due to the accumulation of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere resulting from human activities. Addressing this phenomenon requires collective responsibility from society, with special emphasis on younger generations, in order to achieve urgent mitigation efforts and work together to save the planet by restoring its ecological balance.
