Every fraction of a degree matters

As climate impacts intensify, the world is moving further away from the Paris Agreement goals. Currently there is no credible pathway to limit global warming to 1.5°C. Even if countries meet their climate commitments, emissions will only reduce by 10% by 2030. We must do more. To avoid a climate catastrophe. we must cut emissions by 45% by 2030.

Its time for an urgent, large-scale transformation in:

Electricity supply

Industry

Transport

Construction

Food systems

As costs of renewable energy fall, we must transition away from fossil fuels.

Through subsidies and tax schemes, governments can support sustainable agriculture.

Companies can cut food loss and waste and we can rethink our diets.

~US$6 trillion per year is required to finance the transition to a low-carbon economy, just 2% of total financial assets globally.

Business as usual will result in 2.8°C warming by the end of the century.

Every fraction of a degree matters.

The solutions are within our reach.
