Climate change is a present reality, demanding urgent action from world leaders.

The Climate Reality Project, collaborating with WPP and UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, launched the #WhyWhyNot campaign. This initiative features young people asking "Why? Why Not?" to pressure leaders for meaningful carbon emission reduction commitments.

The campaign urges everyone to pose these fundamental questions to their networks and elected representatives, challenging inaction and vested interests until real change occurs.
