Climate change is one of the defining global and ecological challenges of our time. Constantly changing weather patterns threaten food production, increase the risk of catastrophic flooding and infectious disease spreading, the impacts of climate change are global in scope and unprecedented in scale. The stamps issued by Croatia Post in order to raise awareness, ambition, and action for climate change and accelerate implementation of the Paris Agreement.
The United Nations’ ActNow Climate Campaign is a global call to citizen action on climate change. The campaign highlights the impact that collective action can have at this critical moment in our planet’s history. The more people act, the bigger the impact. Each of us can reduce the effects of global warming. We have to keep in mind that as much as 20% of all greenhouse gases in the atmosphere comes from traffic (car use). In its Energy Strategy, the Republic of Croatia has set as one of its goals the achievement of a ten percent share of renewable energy sources in all modes of transport in relation to consumption of gasoline and diesel fuel. We all can contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions simply by cycling. Cycling reduces traffic congestion and promotes a healthy lifestyle. Act now: drive less – cycle more!
