The U Theory presented in The Week profoundly reshaped my understanding of climate change and its urgency. The first session was both eye-opening and deeply unsettling, shedding light on harsh realities through stark facts and statistics. It predicted catastrophic consequences by 2050, where regions like Pakistan and India could face such extreme heat levels that mass migration would become inevitable. While initially disheartening, the second session provided a sense of cautious optimism, demonstrating that, with collective effort and the right measures, not only can we slow down climate change, but its impacts can potentially be reversed. The final session was a powerful call to action, stirring a deep sense of motivation within me. It inspired me to integrate climate action into my long-term goals, encouraging me to pursue meaningful work in sustainability and environmental regeneration as part of my vision for the next decade.
