This project emerged as a response to the current state of inertia in world political leadership as they respond to climate change and manoeuvre self-interest and financial economics versus eco-nomics. Eco-nomics here is defined as the concept of a person, group or culture having a sound knowledge of, and sympathy with, the natural law of ecology.  Basically meaning, that if the human race wishes to survive, it must obey the natural rule of law, live in harmony with the natural world and not exploit or destroy its ecosystems. 

The majority of scientists and environmentalists acknowledge that modernity, consumerism and industrialisation have caused an environmental crisis – pollution and climate change.  Heavy industry, that underpins capitalism, relies on mining, drilling and burning fossil fuels for energy that have proven to be a disastrous path to follow.

This way of living produces greenhouse gases that contribute to the overheating of the Earth’s atmosphere and causes multiple climate-related threats to life and existence.  Global warming raises temperatures and sea levels, threatening the viability of coastal communities with coastline erosion and submergence, reducing marine biodiversity and habitats.  Extraordinary weather events caused by climate change, such as storm surge, flooding and hurricanes, destroy homes and infrastructures and pollute land and fresh water resources with saltwater.  In certain developing countries, extreme drought and lack of water due to low rainfall, kill crops, animals and the people that depend on them.  Wildfires, as those recently in Australia, the USA and South America, devastate farmland, destroy crops, homes and forests as well as kill and maim animals, insects and fauna. WWF Australia estimated that nearly three billion animals, mammals, reptiles, birds, and insects were killed or displaced by the 2019-20 bush fires.
