The video discusses planetary health and sustainable future. As the development of technology has been skyrocketing in the past decade, humans’ life expectancy has undeniably increased at a high rate. But inevitably, downsides began to appear in spades. Uncontrolled exploitation of natural resources has ended up jeopardising human health and well-being by increasing risks in the realm of nutrition, infectious diseases, non-communicable diseases, natural disasters, etc. A predicament that humans have been wrestling with for decades, climate change is the culprit of all of these issues that we are actually dealing with in real life. Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns, and human activities have been the main driver of climate change since the 1800s. Practicing sustainability ensures that we make ethical choices that bring a safe and satisfactory future to everyone. Therefore, lots of solutions are introduced to cope with this problem. For instance, reducing food waste and drip or trickle irrigation methods are implemented widely. At the end of the day, we should contribute to the mother Earth from now on as damaging the planet damages human health.
