Costa Rica: 2a. Climate Change is Our Shared Problem

Environment   Oct 4, 2017 by sofia ferreiro
  • What are the most relevant actions/targets proposed in SDG#13

One target that it is really relevant for me its the one that talks about improving the education, awareness-raising and human and institutional capacity on climate change mitigation, adaptation, impact reduction and early warning. During all the blogs I've talked a lot about education and for me education is always the key. This action should take un practice as soon as possible and start in schools and ever kinder. Most non-indigenous people don't understand the problems that climate change is causing just because they are not educated in the topic.

  • How do SDG #13 targets respond to the challenges created by the effects of climate change in water in both Indigenous and non-indigenous communities?

Climate change has caused a lot of effects in the world. With water climate change has caused flood compromising us our health and resources. Costa Rica is suffering now the most strong rains causing our rivers to overflow. In a place here in  called Cartago hundreds of families lost their houses because of this problem, but also there is also an unbalance because there are places in the world suffering from important droughts. Having clean water it is essential to have a better health 

  • What other areas do you think should be taken into account

The area that should be more taken into account it is education as I have said before education its the most important things in life and for a country to develop helping the world. Another area is the renewable energy, countries should start using more often renewable energy and have all of them in their countries to help reduce our carbon footprint as humans.we should also reduce the use of fossil fuels.

  • What elements would you incorporate if you had to build and action/target that addressed water, Indigenous peoples, and non-indigenous people. Provide a brief rationale that justifies each element.

I would incorporate the smart use of water and using the resources that we have to stop the waste of clean water. Most non-indigenous people use clean water as If it will last forever and we have to take into account that water is limited for all of the population on Earth. if we have a clean air and water we would have more health and less sickness.

Here I share a few pictures that really got my attention!
