GOAL 2: ADAPT TO PROTECT COMMUNITIES AND NATURAL HABITATS As youth, we recommend research and reconstruction of vulnerable environments that have been stricken with deforestation, excessive fishing, contamination, as well as other factors. Programs should be developed and implemented into our society in order to revive those negatively affected ecosystems. "Reducing deforestation is one of the main solutions for most of our climate problems. To do so, it's important that the government actually reproduce what is written in our Constitution and apply the law to everyone, mainly to the people behind the fires. During our President's term, the deforestation problems increased because, for example, protecting the Amazon Forest was never one of his goals, so that's a problem too." Ellen, Brazil "As Brazil is a huge country, we've got a lot of natural issues. Such as the legal and illegal deforestation, the fires - 87,6% of our Atlantic forest was destroyed, now there's just 12,4% left!!! Many animals might have lost their habitats, and are at risk of extinction now - we also have the problem of the carbon emission because of the fires, the non-renewable sources of energy (in the industries and the fuels), the methane gas emissions due to the livestock, etc. And on the coast side the sea level is rising more and more, it might invade the cities soon! So in COP26 my country needs to create measures to fight against the deforestation, the illegal deforestation and the fires, search and invest for renewable energy sources, for reducing the carbon emission, maybe create a project of reforestation, and a project to protect the coastal cities from the rise in sea level." Laís, Brazil As youth, we demand the research, investment, and implementation of climate-smart agricultural design across all levels of production.
