Climate change is an urgent threat to humanity that demands swift, collective and decisive action.
Climate impacts are being felt all around the world
and on track to get much worse. From fires, droughts, floods, heat waves, extreme
weather events, sea-level rise, novel diseases, and shrinking freshwater supplies,
the impact of climate change is much felt now than ever before.
Addressing climate change requires changes to our energy use, how we produce food,
and our consumption patterns. The urgency of climate threat demands swift,
collective and decisive actions that ensure that human progress, economic
development, and environmental protection take place together in a sustainable
manner.
At HATOF, our role is to ensure balance between collective social interests and
environmental protection for current and future generations through collective local
and global actions. HATOF fosters collaboration among governments, private sector,
academia and civil society organisations at local, national and international scale
with shared goal to regulate human access to, use of, and impacts on the
environment.
We advocate and raise awareness for, sustainable production and consumption,
renewable energy and energy efficiency, protection forest and help people to adapt
to the impact of climate change. We particularly support our stakeholders to develop
and implement low-carbon, climate-resilience projects and programmes to reduce
emissions and enhance adaptive capacity of local communities.
Climate change is causing increasingly severe global impacts, including fires, droughts, floods, heat waves, extreme weather events, sea-level rise, novel diseases, and shrinking freshwater supplies.
