The chosen article highlights the objectives and strategies pursued by the United Nations (UN) to preserve the environment and combat climate change. The critical thoughts of the Deputy Secretary General of the UN, Amina Mohammed, called for putting an end to the detrimental practices which are enhancing the influence and intensity of the climate change. The current economic competition has manifested in the take, make and dispose model which is causing the adverse health and environment impacts including plastic waste in oceans, extraction of metals utilized in cell phones and the tremendous amount of electronic waste generated each year. Moreover, the positive changes are occurring as the civil and private sector including several hotel chains are committed to reducing consumption of water by 50%, state as Costa Rica and India are advancing to eliminate the single-use plastics ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"ATd5vVSK","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Mar 15, n.d.)","plainCitation":"(Mar 15, n.d.)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":372,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/yvjivw9i/items/2AIDHLA5"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/yvjivw9i/items/2AIDHLA5"],"itemData":{"id":372,"type":"webpage","title":"UN Official Calls for Urgent Action on Climate Change -","container-title":"Environmental Protection","abstract":"United Nations Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed decried what she called the negative consequences of the current 'take, make, and dispose' global economic model, citing harmful environmental and health impacts associated with the extraction of metals used in mobile phones, plastic waste flowing into the oceans, and the huge amount of electronic waste generated every year.","URL":"https://eponline.com/articles/2019/03/15/un-official-calls-for-action-on-climate-change.aspx","language":"en","author":[{"family":"Mar 15","given":"2019"}],"accessed":{"date-parts":[["2019",5,17]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Mar 15, n.d.).
A critical appraisal of the article underpins the need to curb the menace of climate change in the contemporary era. Irrefutably, the concerns raised by the Deputy Secretary General of the UN are plausible and the onus relies on the international organizations and the states to regulate their emissions and strengthen the means of harnessing green energy. It makes the article resonate with the widespread movements launched by the environmentalists which call for the abrogation of the incessant consumption and emission of toxic gases and keeping a stringent check on dumping the waste and plastic. The contemporary tragic events as droughts, floods, weather anomalies and predicaments have accelerated and it is an explicit illustration of the adverse consequences of not preserving the earth. Thus, it is imperative to utilize green energy and preserve the environment form further adversities.
