Climate change will have significant economic costs, including damage to infrastructure, disruptions to agriculture, and increased health problems. It will also exacerbate social inequalities, disproportionately impacting vulnerable pop Extreme Weather Events:
Increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, floods, and droughts, pose major risks to human life and infrastructure elations.
How do you feel these problems could best be solved?
The most pressing global problem is climate change, primarily due to its potential for widespread environmental and societal disruption. Addressing this requires significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, a transition to renewable energy, and stronger regulations for corporations. Other key challenges include poverty, human rights violations, global health issues, and access to education and healthcare for children. Solving these issues requires a multifaceted approach involving individual action, government policy changes, and international cooperation.
Climate Change/Problem:
Human-caused climate change leads to extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and other negative impacts.
Solutions: Reduce reliance on fossil fuels, transition to renewable energy sources, reduce pollution, protect biodiversity, and implement stronger regulations for polluting corporations.
Poverty/Problem:

Profile
My name Lilian Syombua means light and I was named after my great grandmother. I come from a Kamba community, and I know how to speak Kikamba and some Luo. I have three younger sisters and a little Joy, Sandy and Gladys. I currently live with my uncle and grandparents in their rental house. I would describe myself as being very introverted and quiet. I’m also very independent. I really don’t like working with partners, unless they’re my friends or I feel comfortable around them. But I generally like to do things on my own. I don’t really know if I’ve accomplished all that much in life. I feel like graduating high school would be one of my accomplishments, and moving out of my parents’ home. Also I like to relax and I have a weak spot for babies and animals. I dislike a lot of things, to be quite honest. I generally dislike anything that has to do with zombies, terrible movies, talking to people, my dad’s singing, traffic, gym class, and being bored its’ home. Some of my interests are reading novels.
I really would like to be an author. I have a million stories in my mind, and I would love if my books became really popular and have their own little movie franchise. I guess I want to be an author because I think books can change people’s lives and they can really make a difference. I also want to overcome my anxiety when talking to people and developed a more positive outlook than a negative one on things. I want to be this because I just want to improve myself. I want to be more assertive and stand up for myself more. How I see myself in 10 years is I will be happily married, have a good career, a few kids, and a family dog.
A world that works for everyone is a vision of equality, opportunity, and well-being for all, emphasizing a world where everyone’s needs are met and where everyone can thrive. This vision encompasses various aspects, including social, economic, and environmental dimensions, aiming to create a more just, sustainable, and inclusive society.
