War, schools. So much pain, eyes turn.

"Greenhouse gas emissions keep growing. Global temperatures keep rising. And our planet is fast approaching tipping points that will make climate chaos irreversible. We are on a highway to climate hell with our foot on the accelerator."

— António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations
