The next thing that Facebook stated is that it would make efforts to promote information on the matter through its Climate Sciences Information Centre. This would be a place for people to read about facts and figures related to global warming and climate change, a place where rumors are crushed and only the ground reality is laid out in front of people, via the Data for Good program.

Facebook also said that it shall create a place where learning of skills and tactics would be possible n order to share with different European Businesses how to create a functioning chain that could create zero emissions on the planet. This would include working with the Green Boost Program,  and RE source besides others, helping them function at their absolute best, climate-wise.

The New Zealand angle

The global problem of climate change is being  taken up very seriously by most leading economies each making their own efforts to  make positive changes in their statistics. New Zealand has several plans underway to help reduce the carbon footprint on the planet, right from promoting public transport and making better footpaths for people to walk/cycle on to working towards waste reduction on an industrial level, to help control emissions.

 As part of the Paris Agreement and working according to UN guidelines, New Zealand aims at reducing emissions up to at least 30% as compared to what they were in the year 2005, by the year 2030.
