This means that we have consumed in seven months the resources our earth can regenerate in one year. Every consumption we make since then actually means stealing from the future. The year 2024 has gone down in history as the first-ever year when the global warming limit of 1.5 \u00baC, a critical threshold, has been surpassed. The number of natural disasters due to climate change has reached record levels.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First Lady Erdo\u011fan went onto say: \u201cIn Spain, we witnessed the most devastating flood disaster in history; and in the U.S., we witnessed Hurricane Helene, which caused significant losses of life. In Africa, 7 million people have been directly affected by excessive rainfall and drought. As of this year, over 120 million people have been displaced across the world because of natural disasters due to climate change. There are five years left until the 2030 goals, set with the promise of \u2018not leaving anyone behind\u2019; yet, we are still far from the promised point.\u201d<br>Noting that participants of the meeting are able to see the direct relation between the disasters that take place and the habits of production and consumption, First Lady Erdo\u011fan said: \u201cWe know that the Zero Waste, as a philosophy of life, offers a roadmap that can reverse the current trajectory. Getting this awareness understood and disseminating it should be the primary agenda item of our board. We should benefit from the International Day of Zero Waste to this end.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drawing attention to the need for a global leadership to unite the efforts taking place in various geographies of the world around a shared vision, Mrs. Erdo\u011fan stressed that the board should undertake this role by bringing wide audiences together on the path to solution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First Lady Erdo\u011fan chairs UN Zero Waste Advisory Board meeting Istanbul : Delivering remarks at the meeting at Dolmabah\u00e7e Presidential Office, First Lady Erdo\u011fan stated that the board meetings, the&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":22652,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,13],"tags":[527,2132],"class_list":["post-22651","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-international","category-main-stories","tag-ankara-turkey","tag-turkey-first-lady-erdogan"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theasiantelegraph.global\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22651","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theasiantelegraph.global\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theasiantelegraph.global\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theasiantelegraph.global\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theasiantelegraph.global\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=22651"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/theasiantelegraph.global\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22651\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22653,"href":"https:\/\/theasiantelegraph.global\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22651\/revisions\/22653"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theasiantelegraph.global\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/22652"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theasiantelegraph.global\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=22651"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theasiantelegraph.global\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=22651"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theasiantelegraph.global\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=22651"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
