The authoritative new report by the inter governmental panel on climate changes sets the world a clear target, we must reduce emissions greenhouse gases to net zero by the middle of this century to have a reasonable chance of limiting global warming to 1.5 degree.
Accelerate the transition to clean and sustainable growth mounting damage from sea level rise, floods and droughts that will severely hinder efforts to tackle poverty, raise living standardsand improve. Human activities are currently emitting about 42 bn tonnes of CO2 every year, and at that rate the carbon budget allowing us 50-50 chance of keeping warming to 1.5 degree would be exhausted within 20 years. Report states there should be reduction in annual emission by 50 percent.
Next 10 years will be absolutely crucial in determine what kind of world will exist in decades beyond. If we act decisively, innovate, invest wisely we could both avoid the worst impacts of climate change and successfully achieve the sustainable development goals.
