Leaders from various nations converge to discuss and commit to urgent climate action initiatives to combat the ongoing climate crisis. Throughout the previous 1 month leading up to this summit, discussions have intensified globally about the necessity for immediate action, culminating in this pivotal gathering. Scientists, activists, and politicians alike highlight the pressing need for sustainable practices and the significance of international collaboration. Looking back over the past 1000 years, one can see the historical context of climate awareness. From early environmental movements in the late 20th century to the establishment of the first Earth Day in 1970, public consciousness around climate change has significantly evolved. Key events such as the Kyoto Protocol in 1997 and the Paris Agreement in 2015 laid foundational efforts for global collaboration on climate issues, leading to the pivotal summit on December 23, 2025. This summit not only aims to address urgent ecological challenges but also serves as a platform for youth activists and indigenous voices, showcasing an inclusive approach to solving global issues. The hope is that the decisions made during this event will steer the planet towards a more sustainable future.
