The United Nations Conference on Climate Change is being held in Madrid, and within the framework of this celebration, the Prado Museum and the NGO WFF joined forces to launch a campaign that shows what the planet would be like if the temperature rises above of 1.5ºC, this is intended to raise awareness. The 1.5º Lo Cambia Todo campaign shows iconic works of art by painting masters affected by climate change. In this way they are using the universal language of art to raise awareness, shake consciences and mobilize society to reverse the increase in temperature. The objective of this initiative is to vindicate the need for political agreements to ensure the survival of the planet and our species. For the campaign, four works were selected, including: Philip IV on horseback, by Velázquez. Children on the beach, by Joaquín Sorolla. Goya's parasol. The passage of the Styx of Patinir. Each of the works reflects the damage that the change in temperature would have on the planet. Philip IV on horseback, by Velázquez. In the painting of Philip IV the horse appears submerged in water, an act to raise the serious problem of rising sea levels as a result of the melting of glaciers. Original: The passage of the Styx of Patinir. In Goya's painting, the Quitasol, climate change is also notable since it represents the displacement of people to other places due to droughts or rising sea levels. Original: Children on the beach, by Joaquín Sorolla.
In the painting of the children on the beach you can see how the sea is drying up and marine species are dying due to the pollution of their habitat. Original: Goya's parasol. In Goya's sunshade painting you can see the sad expression of the two women since they had to leave their country to go to another and live as refugees due to climate change. Original: These modified parts are just a sample of what could happen if drastic actions are not taken to reverse the environmental damage on the planet. It is necessary that companies and governments worry more Nepal WhatsApp Number about the carbon emissions they emit to the Earth and begin to focus on the solution to the problem. As well as implementing the need to acquire products that do not harm our ecosystems and that keep the level of pollution at zero.The Ways and Means Committee of the lower house of the US legislature will seek to ensure that the agreement allows the US economy to grow, supports its workers, protects the environment and improves access to medicines at reasonable costs. New customs checks were also established so that only legally harvested agricultural products as well as wild flora and fauna of legal origin are transported to Mexico. American legislators from the Democratic Party insisted on also including strict environmental regulations and mechanisms to monitor compliance, and creating "environmental attachés" that will be in charge of monitoring green laws. Environmental news in the T-MEC The T-MEC included updated provisions on ecology in an exclusive chapter for environmental regulation: Regulate production, consumption and trade of substances that directly affect the ozone. Greater regulation of transport on land and sea, due to its marine impact. Combat flora and fauna trafficking, classifying it as a serious crime.
Implementation of procedures for the evaluation of the environmental impact in the projects and practices to be established based on the T-MEC. Establishes a mechanism for public participation and promotion of environmental transparency. Implements the possibility of having public consultations on its green laws and policies. Mexico and its environmental problems: Inaction on climate change in Mexico could generate losses similar to a little more than twice the current gross domestic product (GDP) by the end of the century. The UNAM indicates that in the Valley of Mexico every year 16,000 people die from diseases related to PM2.5. Mexico occupies the fifth position in the world in deforestation, losing about 500,000 hectares of jungles and forests each year. 70% of the lakes, lagoons, rivers, and other bodies of water in Mexico have some degree of contamination. Mexico is among the 10 most megadiverse countries in the world, as well as those that lose the most species. In the last 20 years, the generation of solid waste increased from 0.8 kilograms per person (125 million Mexicans) to 1.3 kilograms daily. The Toxitour caravan reported that there are regions in Mexico where there are a thousand toxic substances in the water, soil and air.
