Human beings use resources too quickly, and the Earth does not have enough time to recover.
Right now, human consumption would require about 1.75 Earths, and this cannot last.
Many places are getting hotter, carbon dioxide keeps rising, and weather changes are becoming more obvious.
To protect nature, more and more countries are beginning to support an "ecocide law."
This law means: if someone knowingly does something that will cause serious, widespread, or long-term environmental damage, they may be held criminally responsible.
Finland's Social Democratic Party supports making ecocide a crime, and Mauritius has already added related content to its domestic law.
Many other countries and regions are also discussing similar laws.
Supporters say this can better protect forests, oceans, animals, and plants, and it can also protect people's health, jobs, and food.
Many people believe there is only one Earth, and we should burn less fossil fuel, use more solar and wind power, and live in more environmentally friendly ways.
The next few years are very important. The decisions people make now will affect the Earth and our future tomorrow.
