Negative impacts of climate warming are already being experienced globally. As set out by the IPCC’s Special Report on Global Warming, limiting global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels is necessary to prevent irreversible devastating changes. To achieve this goal will require reaching net zero CO2 emissions in most if not all countries by 2050. Several days ago, … [Read more...] about Taking Care of Our Earth – A Global Agenda for Net Zero CO2 Emissions by 2050, UN Appeals
