dc.descriptionUnprecedented and historic forest fires have been raging across the world in the previous weeks. Flames have been engulfing forests from California to Siberia and Indonesia associated with historic records of heatwaves caused by climate change. Humans, animals and ecosystems have perished. Wildfires emit between 5 and 30 tonnes of carbon per hectare reaching to almost 3600 tonnes of carbon a year. Are we watching? Are we listening? Are we taking action? COP26 is just a few weeks ahead. Let's all be firefighters, not only fighting raging forest fires, but also in cooling our atmosphere by committing in our own institutions' climate action strategies, and calling upon our governments to make bold and meaningful commitments. Join the rising interfaith movement on climate change and be an active agent.en
