12 Years Left

17/7/2019

​Earlier this year the United Nations​ warned the world that we have just 12 years left to get global warming down to 1.5 degrees if we are to avoid the risk of an unprecedented catastrophe.  This is not the first warning we have been given, and despite huge efforts from the conference of parties (Paris Agreement) we still seem to be a long way from meeting this target.

UN Climate Change News, 7 June, Bonn – UN Climate Change today launched its Annual Report, highlighting the progress made on tackling climate change in 2018.  “Stepping up action has never been more urgent. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) special report on the impacts of global warming at 1.5 °C, requested at COP21, made this crystal clear,” said UN Climate Change Executive Secretary Patricia Espinosa. “We are running out of time to stay under this limit.” 
  Espinosa added:
“I have hope. Alongside new scientific evidence and the increasingly observable signs of climate change – from melting glaciers to massive storms – 2018 showed that the world is now ready and determined to act. As this annual report illustrates, the UNFCCC secretariat ​continued to support tirelessly the global climate platform that supports and encourages this progress.”  This UN report can be seen here.
