The Time to Act is Now!

As the last IPCC report makes clear, the global temperature anomaly will not stay below 1.5°C unless we commit fully to both carbon reduction and carbon removal.

The ten hottest years on record have all occurred in the last ten years. 2023 was the hottest year ever recorded, with a temperature 1.18 ºC above the 1901 - 2000 average.

Climate change caused severe damage and irreversible losses in all of Earth's ecosystems. Circa half of the species have shifted habitats polewards or, in mountains, higher. 

Hundreds of local extinctions have been driven by increases in heat extremes and mass mortality events. 

Some ecosystems are close to irreversibly lost, due to the impacts of the retreat of glaciers, or thawing permafrost. 

Slower processes such as ocean acidification, sea level rise or local draughts are also caused by human-caused climate change., which has contributed to desertification and land degradation, particularly in coastal areas.

Since the nineties, the global average temperature has risen around 1°C, putting us  at the verge of irreversible and unmanageable climate change. Since the mid-nineties, very little has been done to either curtail the emissions of green house gases or remove the ones in the atmosphere.

We want to change this.
