Transcript

Climate action is urgent now because greenhouse gas emissions are at their highest levels in history, leading to global warming of 1.1 degrees Celsius, which causes extreme weather events and risks to human health and ecosystems. Immediate, deep emissions reductions are essential to limit warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius and prevent catastrophic impacts.
