Today’s “Word of the Day” is “contend with“ and it is a phrasal verb meaning “deal with, cope with, face, grapple with (a difficult or unpleasant situation)“.
Example Sentence: We’re at an inflection point (turning point) in climate politics, where some governments are readying 30- and 40-year carbon-neutral plans and others are looking to coast (progress without any effort) into the next decade with pledges that are already five years old. Meanwhile people who have always suffered are contending with the fallout of inaction in the here and now.
This word is present in The Guardian article People, not carbon emissions, should be at the heart of the west’s climate action and click here to read it.
