| Summary |
"The impacts of climate change will intensify over the course of the 21st century. There remains a substantial gap between what governments have promised to do and the actions they have undertaken to date. Climate Action Tracker predicts a 1.5°C warming by 2035, a 2°C warming by 2053, and a 3.2°C warming by 2100. Climate change is a critical existential issue that threatens all life forms on this planet. It is, therefore, larger than human rights and will require all hands on deck across all sectors"-- Provided by publisher |
