You know? Clothing loss ~Let's protect our planet.~

13"Take concrete action on climate change."

Next, let's look at Goal 13.
First, climate change is a term that refers to shifts in the climate, the average state of the atmosphere over a period of decades.
This is a serious problem that affects many humans, causing various natural disasters around the world, such as heat waves, thinning, torrential rains, and large typhoons.
You learned on the Environmental Impacts page that the main cause of these is the carbon dioxide we produce.

Next, we introduce the five targets that make up Goal 13.

Target

13.1
Strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity to climate-related hazards and natural disasters in all countries.
13.2
Incorporate climate change measures into national policies, strategies and plans.
13.3
Improve education, awareness-raising, human capacity and institutional functions related to climate change mitigation, adaptation, impact reduction and early warning.
13.a
Implement the commitment by developed parties to the UNFCCC to jointly mobilize $100 billion per year from all sources by 2020 to address developing countries' needs for transparency in the implementation of key mitigation actions and their delivery, and to fully launch the Green Climate Fund with capital as soon as possible.
13.b
Promote mechanisms to build capacity for effective climate change-related planning and management in Least Developed Countries and Small Island Developing States, including through a focus on women and youth, and rural and socially disadvantaged communities.

The words may be difficult to understand and the content may not sink in.
In simple terms, it means, "Think about concrete measures to reduce climate change and its impacts, and implement them now."That's what it says.

This specific measure would include measures against clothing loss.
We can save the planet just by being a little creative in how we dispose of our clothes.
It may seem like an exaggeration, but if each of us changes our behavior, the future will surely change.
Why don't you take this opportunity to review your normal behavior?

14 "Let's protect the richness of the sea."

Next, let's look at Goal 14.
The oceans occupy 70% of the earth's surface area. It is the source of all life on earth. The oceans are currently polluted by the garbage and wastewater we produce.

"Planet of Water."We need to protect the clean oceans and marine life.

The following are the ten targets that make up Goal 14.

Target

14.1
By 2025, prevent and significantly reduce all types of marine pollution, including marine litter and eutrophication, especially pollution from land-based activities.
14.2
By 2020, in order to avoid significant adverse impacts on marine and coastal ecosystems, efforts will be made to restore marine and coastal ecosystems through sustainable management and protection, including by strengthening resilience, to achieve healthy and productive oceans.
14.3
Minimize and address the impacts of ocean acidification, including through the promotion of scientific cooperation at all levels.
14.4
By 2020, effectively regulate fishing, end overfishing, illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing and destructive fishing tourism, and implement scientific management plans in order to restore fishery resources to at least the level of maximum sustainable production determined by the biological characteristics of each resource in the shortest feasible time.
14.5
By 2020, conserve at least 10 percent of coastal and marine areas, based on the best available scientific information, in accordance with national and international law.
14.6
Recognizing that appropriate, effective, special and different treatment of developing and least developed countries should be an integral part of World Trade Organization (WTO) fisheries subsidies negotiations, prohibit by 2020 fisheries subsidies that lead to overcapacity and overfishing, and eliminate subsidies that lead to illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing Eliminate subsidies that lead to illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing, and curb the introduction of new subsidies and other similar programs.
14.7
By 2030, increase the economic benefits of sustainable use of marine resources in small island developing States and least developed countries, including through sustainable management of fisheries, aquaculture and tourism.
14.a
To improve the health of the oceans and enhance the contribution of marine biodiversity to the development of developing countries, especially small island developing states and least developed countries, by promoting scientific knowledge, building research capacity and transferring marine technology, taking into account the standards and guidelines of the UNESCO Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission on the Transfer of Marine Technology.
14.b
Provide small-scale and coastal micro-fishermen with access to marine resources and markets.
14.c
Enhance the conservation and sustainable use of the oceans and marine resources by implementing international law as reflected in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), which provides the legal framework for the conservation and sustainable use of the oceans and marine resources, as recalled in paragraph 158 of "The Future We Seek .

In summary: "Protect the oceans and marine resources for a sustainable society. " "Use the ocean and its resources in a sustainable manner. "In summary, we will protect the oceans and marine resources for a sustainable society.
This section mainly focuses on the depletion of resources due to over-fishing and the high amount of garbage in the ocean.
If you have anything to do with clothing loss, it's the latter.
I learned on the Water Pollution page of Environmental Impacts that very small pieces of plastic are poured out when washing clothes made of synthetic fibers.
There are three main things we can do to help solve this problem.
The first is to buy high quality products.
It has been shown that low quality fleece sheds a large amount of fibers when compared to high quality ones.
Secondly, choose a drum-type washing machine.
A synthetic fiber jacket washed in a vertical washing machine loses seven times more fibers than when washed in a drum-type washing machine.
If you're thinking of buying a washing machine in the future, you might want to opt for a drum-type washing machine! They are also more water-efficient than vertical models, and you can dry your clothes thoroughly in the dryer!
The third thing to do is to put your synthetic fiber clothes in a filter bag.
This will greatly reduce microfiber spillage.

"A mountain of plastic waste was found in the whale's stomach."

What a similar horror story is happening to many sea creatures and the creatures that eat them.

The ocean is indispensable to us, let's protect it together!
