The issue of damaging
the
environment is still under the spotlight, and is currently gaining momentum,
thus the need for stepping up worldwide awareness on the many identified causes
of environmental changes, to taking responsible actions, especially since the
world is gradually recovering from the pandemic
COVID-19.

Many believe that
every environmental tragedy we face, is human induced; god created earth and
what’s on it, humans were among the creation, and since then humans gradually consumed
earth, driven by both curiosity and greed, to the extent of its destruction. The
shortest story to ever be told: Greed is captivating.
Jordan is currently
suffering from heat waves, and hot days are not only getting hotter but are
becoming more frequent. We are not an isolated case; Canada, the US and many
other parts of the world are facing the same dilemma. Sadly, these recurrent
heat waves around the globe are killing humans and animals, and causing wildfires
and other tragic consequences. Scientists believe that earth is now warmer than
any time in the past.
The global
concern is that governments did not yet show satisfactory reactions and
responses towards the many environmental challenges, a matter that may cause an
increase in health disasters and economic collapses, among other issues, leaving
societies vulnerable in the face of many future conflicts.
Fortunately,
many leaders around the world carry this burden and are sincere in trying to minimize
the deterioration of the environment. Among them are both His Majesty King
Abdullah and President Joe Biden, who are scheduled to meet at the White House
later this month. And we, the people, recognize the importance of great leaders
meeting to address many important topics related to the Middle East, in hope for
optimistic outcomes.
I read in “the Biden Plan”
that the president is keen on tackling climate change through joining
nations of the world on the front of renewable energy, and decarbonization, thus
revealing his sincere passion to save earth. And since Jordan is blessed with
so many rich and rare resources, including its human resources, its
geographical location and climate, a matter that makes it not only the best
energy generator, but can easily lead the market for solar and wind energy
harvests, thus revealing additional mutual interesting topics concerning saving
the environment.
To solve any
problem, we need to start from its root causes, thus, realizing the ethical
roots the environmental problems in order to overcome them, requires both benefiting
and learning from previous failures and tragedies, as well as establishing
governance mechanisms both locally and globally, to protect our future, knowing
that on the foundation
that we build today rests the superstructure of tomorrow.
