In this article I tell you more about the main sectors & sources responsible for these emissions (with numbers & charts) as we continue our journey to find solutions and make responsible choices every day as individuals, communities, business leaders, or government.
Today, I want to tell you about the current global average temperature, why we need to limit it to under 1.5 degrees Celsius (°C), and the potential risks if we go over that threshold. Then, I will explain the “carbon budget”, why we need net-zero emissions commitments, and conclude with what we need in terms of international targets.
