According to the IPCC, the concentration of greenhouse gases in the earth’s atmosphere is directly linked to the average global temperature on Earth, and the concentration has been rising steadily. The most abundant greenhouse gas, accounting for about two-thirds of greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide, is largely the product of burning fossil fuels.
There is alarming evidence that important tipping points, leading to irreversible changes in major ecosystems and the planetary climate system, may already have been reached or passed. One of the most urgent challenges facing countries across the world today is how to achieve economic prosperity and development while also combating climate change.
The Paris climate change agreement commits nations to limit global temperature rise to no more than 2°C above pre-industrial levels, with countries pledging to cut or curb their greenhouse gas emissions – through a combination of mitigation and adaptation measures – by 2030.

Net-Zero emission targets are the new big thing. Both countries and companies are setting these type of targets, typically with a timeline to 2050. But what are net-zero targets really and what is acceptable as measures to achieve them?
While progress is being made to address climate change, the world is moving much too slowly to achieve what’s necessary to cut global emissions in half by 2030. This new report outlines opportunities in the power, buildings, industry, transport, forests, and agriculture sectors to align emissions trajectories with what the science suggests is necessary to avoid the worst climate impacts.
