Climate Change 2022: IPCC Report - Mitigation of Climate Change

 

The evidence is clear: the time for action is now. We can still can halve emissions by 2030.  Limiting warming to around 1.5°C (2.7°F) requires global greenhouse gas emissions to peak before 2025 at the latest, and be reduced by 43% by 2030; at the same time, methane would also need to be reduced by about a third. Even if we do this, it is almost inevitable that we will temporarily exceed this temperature threshold but could return to below it by the end of the century. “It’s now or never, if we want to limit global warming to 1.5°C (2.7°F), without immediate and deep emissions reductions across all sectors, it will be impossible.” Do Governments have the will or backbone to do it? That is the real question.
