TERRA 2021

 

Earth - "Terra" in Latin, is our only home. It provides every resource needed for life, but our actions have left a mark on it. 

 

The level of CO2 is now at its highest in 4 million years, global temperatures are reaching new highs, glaciers are melting and sea levels are rising.

​

This coin addresses the importance of protecting the environment and highlights the need of cooperation in tackling climate problems, no matter which side of the planet we live on.
