"It feels like we have reached the point where such things wash over us
now without care or concern. Another temperature record, another
bushfire season, another US supreme court justice nominee not willing to
say if she agrees with the science.

And it is easy to ignore climate change in the midst of a pandemic and
economic recession.

But acting remains imperative and this week, in its latest world
economic outlook, the IMF revealed that acting on climate change will
actually help us deal with the recession.

Acting on climate change boosts growth in the short term and massively
prevents economic destruction later."
