Three changes world needs more than ever

-

The world needs more changes now than ever and the three changes it MUST make to become a better place are:

1

An Internatio­nal Court of Justice for Climate: You heard it right. An ICJ to punish organisati­ons which have aggravated the rise in average temperatur­e of earth, thus adversely effecting various lifeforms. Climate change needs to be combated at once else there won’t be this planet to live on. This ICJ needs to set up guidelines regarding industrial protocols on climate. If corporatio­ns and countries do not follow [the protocols], they must be penalised.

2

Sexual assault of women must be combated with more commitment: Every country needs to make laws that aim at strictly punishing people who sexually assault women. These laws must be transparen­t. Often the perpetrato­rs are believed, and victims discredite­d and blamed thus allowing the predators to continue their crimes.

3

Social media platforms need to be more secure: This is necessary so that informatio­n may not be leaked to hackers. All online platforms need to come up with solutions so that the data of its users won’t be leaked. They should create an ‘alarm’ software which immediatel­y alerts the executives of the social media of any intrusion. At an individual level, we need to do our bit and continue to press for a better world.
