Street survey: How does climate change impact you?

 

As part of the "NORDIC TALKS: The Nordic Green Model" project, we are conducting both anonymous and street surveys on how climate change affects people. We have asked individuals in various areas of Baku to share their experiences with climate change and abnormal weather conditions. You can watch the video to learn how people are being impacted.

 

How does climate change impact you?

The sea is very dirty, it has receded a lot. In part, people themselves is the cause behind these conditions. People should try to solve the problem themselves. It all depends on us.

Although climate change doesn't currently affect me personally, it does impact animals and nature, and will eventually affect us.

Since this is a global problem, I am making every effort as a citizen and a resident of this planet by properly disposing of household waste and taking part in tree planting initiatives. Because my family members and I are sensitive to changes in weather, we unfortunately witness the impacts of global warming firsthand. Just as it is our duty to safeguard our own health, we should also feel responsible for preserving nature. By treating nature with care, we can expect the same in return.

Climate change is a significant issue not only for Azerbaijan but for the entire world. COP29 will take place in Azerbaijan this year. Perhaps, something will change afterward.

Climate change has a severe impact on people. The unpredictable weather fluctuates between rainy and sunny days. It also affects people's psychology.

Climate change is having a direct impact on our recreational activities. The abnormal weather conditions in the surrounding regions are preventing me from visiting places like Guba. This is likely due to climate change as heavy floods are currently happening in Guba, and the weather is very unstable. In the past, people used to start their vacations in May, but this year, the unstable weather conditions made it impossible to travel to certain regions of Azerbaijan for recreation.

The deteriorating climate worldwide is a tragedy for not only humans but for all living things. I try to minimize the use of plastic and electricity as much as possible. As individuals, we should be aware of it. But I think that the powers that are capable of reversing this are not individuals, but big states, and they should do their part.

The average annual temperature is rising steadily. However, the initial effects of climate change are most noticeable in air pollution.

In winter, the cold is not felt so much. This was not always the case. I consider this to be the result of climate change. The temperature is not so noticeable in summer. The effects of climate change are more pronounced in the regions. People are complaining about damaged crops. This is a global problem.

I have recently developed allergies and cannot go out in the sun. I didn't have such problem before. This is due to anomalous heating.

Climate change has greatly impacted me. The air pollution is severe, and both autumn and spring have been abnormal. Winter did not have its usual snowfall.

The Caspian Sea is drying up. This means that our world is getting worse. This is a threat to the lives of both humans and other living beings. Our country started to take measures against this.

Summer arrives late, and the Caspian Sea's water level decreases. Global temperatures are rising due to factors such as industrial activities, coal burning, and oil and gas production. Also, significant ice melting is occurring in the areas near the North Pole.

Due to global warming, the weather is getting hotter every year, and it's making people feel tired.

I believe that factories are not adequately regulated in our country and worldwide. Natural resources are not being properly utilized, which may bring financial benefits in the short run but will harm us in the long run. That's why every individual must take responsibility. At the very least, we should not pollute the streets with plastics and should properly collect and dispose of garbage.

Winters are no longer cold and summers are extremely hot. This is quite alarming. Additionally, it took a long time for summer to arrive this year.

You can no longer distinguish between the seasons due to drastic changes. Breathing has become quite difficult.
