According to WHO, more than 300,000 people were affected in Marrakech and surrounding areas.

As we can see, many countries are already facing the global consequences of climate change.

🔹 But why have international organizations, including the UN, not yet initiated the creation of a single global scientific center to address the problem of climate change?

🔹 Why is there still no global Rescue Service and no effective economic model for providing timely assistance to all those affected by climate disasters?

The climate situation is getting worse, and the only key to solving this problem is the urgent cooperation of the world's top scientists.

A rapid response and coordination of efforts could save many human lives that the climate Cerberus claims every day.
