“Combating climate change will be an investment in our infrastructure.”
— Angela Merkel
Simplified Meaning:
Spending money and effort to fight climate change means we will build things that help make our world better. Imagine a city that decides to make its public transportation run on clean energy like electricity from the sun. This can make the air cleaner and help people get around more easily. Instead of using old methods, we will develop new ways to grow food, get energy, and manage waste. For example, creating green buildings that save energy and last longer is like putting money into something valuable that will benefit everyone in the long run. Think of it as fixing a leaky roof in your house; the cost might seem high now, but it saves you from much bigger problems in the future. By doing this, we won't just slow down climate change, we will also create jobs, improve our lives, and build a better world for future generations.
