"Climate change is now affecting every country on every continent. It is disrupting national economies and affecting lives, costing people, communities and countries dearly today and even more tomorrow... Without action, the world’s average surface temperature is projected to rise over the 21st century and is likely to surpass 3 degrees Celsius this century... Affordable, scalable solutions are now available to enable countries to leapfrog to cleaner, more resilient economies." (United Nations, n.d.)
