    The accelerated onset of the climate crisis and ecosystem degradation surpasses the earlier projections of the

    IPCC, indicating an imminent and rapid decline in globalized human civilization within the coming decades.

    Urgent measures are imperative to avert this trajectory. The HECAP+ community, encompassing High Energy

    Physics, Cosmology, Astroparticle Physics, and Hadron and Nuclear Physics, faces direct implications due to

    its distinctive carbon footprint and extended planning cycles of research projects that extend into a period

    marked by economic and socio-political instability. Mitigating the environmental impact within our scientific

    communities necessitates immediate action at individual, research group, and institutional levels. This talk

    explores various strategies for minimizing the adverse effects on the natural environment, emphasizing the role

    of internationally and culturally interconnected scientific communities as exemplars for a sustainable societal

    transition towards a better world.
