1. Why is climate change a major concern?
Climate change has definetely been one of the most polular problems on our last decade, affecting planet earth in lots of aspects having effects such as higher temperatures, Sea level rises, wildfires and many more. If we do not start caring about out planet we can definetely end on an ecological colpase.
2. What actions can we take to prevent Earth’s climate from warming too much?
Everythings starts by us, humans. For instance, we need to start doing simple things such as start using renewable energy, using susteinable transport, having a good waste management, etc.

Yes, there are organizations on my city and they are called "Futuro Verde" and "Fundacion con Vida". This organizations consist of a variety of projects that are fighting climate change. They are mainly focusing on the use of renewable energies, such as solar energy and eolic energy.

1. Why is climate change a major concern:

In my opinion cimate change is a really bad situation because first of all the water level increases because the earth's ice melts, which is a habitat for a lot of animals. this causes floods in a lot of places of the earth.

2. what actions can we take to prevent earth's climate change?

- save energy ato home
- try not to use cars or planes when its not needed. instead use trains or bicycles.
- use renewable energy

3. What institutions or foundations are set up in your city to handle climate change? what do they do?

1. It's a mayor concern because as the greenhouse continues to happen in a bigger scale each year, it brings as consequence the melting of icebergs, which rise up the sea level and cause floodings. It also causes the planet's temperature to rise at dangerous levels, producing more intense storms and this high tempereatures can affect directly our health.
2. Reducing our consumption of meat, using other transportation methods that do not require burning fossil fuels (cars, buses, etc.), like bicycles or simply walking. Also recycling and supporting campains that clean beaches or other places.
3. Bimbo, because the company made sure that in every factory central they had, solar panels were placed in the roofs, producing clean and reusable energy. Besides, it reuses 74% of the water it takes them to sanitations of the facilities.

Climate change is a major concern as it is affecting the planet we live on many ways, at a rapid rate this issue would change the planet and its habitants for ever
We could stop wasting and using so much energy in things that we can do in different ways, for example change ur transportation habits, establish times for using electricity.
Ecopetrol has a climate change strategy which includes various steps like mitigation, vulnerability and adaptation, technology and investigation, etc.
